Discover the Holistic Power of Nasya Therapy – A Core Panchakarma Treatment
Nasya Therapy, one of the five key Panchakarma detoxification procedures in Ayurveda, is a powerful therapeutic practice that involves the administration of medicated oils or herbal preparations through the nasal passages. This ancient treatment is specifically designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the head, neck, and senses, restoring balance to both body and mind.

🔧 What is Nasya Therapy?
Nasya Karma is one of the five Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda. It involves the administration of medicated oils, powders, or herbal juices through the nasal passages. Ayurveda believes:
“Scientific studies indicate that medicated Nasya oils can reduce mucosal inflammation, enhance parasympathetic activity, and improve cognitive response by directly stimulating the olfactory and limbic systems.”
“Shiras Dwaram Nasahi” – The nose is the gateway to the head.
This therapy impacts the brain, sinuses, and nervous system, making it especially effective for:
Sinusitis & nasal congestion
Migraine & chronic headaches
Sleep disorders & anxiety
Hormonal imbalances
Hair fall & premature greying
Cognitive disorders like brain fog or poor memory
