Nasya Treatment – Ayurvedic Nasal Therapy for Head and Sinus Health
Nasya is a powerful Ayurvedic treatment that involves the administration of medicated oils, powders, or herbal extracts through the nasal passages. It is one of the five therapies of Panchakarma and is specifically designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the head and neck region. According to Ayurveda, the nose is the gateway to the brain, and Nasya helps balance the Kapha dosha in this area while promoting mental clarity and respiratory wellness.
