Nasya is the procedure of instilling liquid or powdered medicines, most commonly medicated oils, into the nostrils. According to Ayurveda, the nose is the gateway to the head (Nasa hi Shiraso Dvaram); therefore, Nasya plays a vital role in the prevention and management of diseases of the head and neck region.
Regular practice of Nasya produces lightness in the head, improves the sleep–wake cycle, enhances the sense of smell, and provides a feeling of clarity and pleasure. It is also beneficial in improving vision and helps in preventing premature greying of hair, hair fall, and facial wrinkles.
Pratimarsha Nasya
The Pratimarsha variety of Nasya involves the instillation of two drops of oil in each nostril. This form of Nasya is safe, gentle, and recommended for daily practice as a health-promoting measure.
