Nasya – Nasal Detox Therapy for Head, Sinus & Brain Health
Nasya – Nasal Detox Therapy for Head, Sinus & Brain Health
What to expect from this section
Nasya is a classical Panchakarma nasal therapy in Ayurveda that involves the administration of medicated oils or herbal extracts through the nostrils. Ayurveda describes the nose as the gateway to the head (Nasa hi Shiraso Dwaram), making Nasya one of the most effective therapies for cleansing and rejuvenating the organs above the neck.
When performed as Nasya therapy in Wayanad, the therapeutic benefits are enhanced by the region’s clean air, cool climate, and authentic Kerala Ayurvedic practices. Nasya is highly effective for sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, migraine, chronic headache, cervical stiffness, hormonal imbalance, and mental fog.
Why Nasya Therapy is Important in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, accumulation of toxins (Ama) and aggravated Kapha and Vata Doshas in the head region lead to sinus congestion, headaches, allergies, poor memory, hair fall, and sensory organ disorders. Nasya works by eliminating toxins from the nasal passages, sinuses, throat, and head channels (Urdhva Jatrugata Srotas).
The medicated oils stimulate nerve endings, improve circulation to the brain, clear blocked sinuses, and enhance sensory perception. Regular Nasya therapy improves breathing, mental clarity, sleep quality, and immunity while preventing recurrent ENT issues.
