Nasya - Nasal cleansing
Nasya or nasal cleansing is an Ayurvedic treatment procedure that is part of Panchakarma therapy. It helps in the detoxification of the head by administering medicated oils through the nasal tract of the client. Depending on the imbalance levels of the 3 Doshas, Nasya processes use different ingredients such as ghee and oil and Ayurvedic herbs like basil and henna.
During the treatment, the upper portion of the client’s body, primarily, face, shoulders and chest are massaged with oils to induce sweat. During inhalation, the oil extract is poured into the nostrils. Once the oil is introduced, the nose, chest, palms and feet are massaged with force.
