Nasya - Ayurvedic Sinus Treatment

Updated: Mar 8, 2023

Have you ever questioned if there was any services that you can schedule to help with persistent feeling of congestion! It's absolutely fantastic when the seasons shift, during cold weather or during spring when air is filled with pollen and dust.



Nasya is a sinus treatment that delivers herbal preparation into the sinuses and a variety of ways for a number of purposes. Treatments that focus on the cleansing of the nasal passages are one of the five karma's in Pancha Karma and Nasya is featured as one of the primary methods.


There are a number of reasons why it is a beneficial treatment:

  • Clearing the head

  • Assets in calming dark circles and/or puffiness from underneath the eyes.

  • Relieving chronic neck pain, especially as in the case of whiplash injuries.

  • Facilitating a full night of restful sleep.

  • Increasing vitality

  • Freeing the mind

  • Strengthens the Nasal Passages

  • Relieves Headaches & Migraine

  • Treats Allergies & Sinusitis

  • Clears Mucous Blockages

  • Opens Blocked Channels

  • Treates Nasal Infections

  • Remedy for Congestion

  • For all Dosha types, especially for Kapha


Warm herbal oil Nasya is a Shamana, or pacifying treatment that is gentle and soothing. After your sinuses are warmed by the facial steamer, drops of medicated herbal oil are administered to one nostril at a time as you deeply inhale. During the application the practitioner will gently massage the sinus cavity and neck to encourage to oil to flow. Then they will activate face marma points.


Who's is Nasya not good for?

While Nasya oil treatment is generally safe, there are a few important contraindications:

  • If you have an active fever

  • If you are experiencing an acute illness

  • Before eating or drinking

  • Before taking a shower

  • If you are currently pregnant

  • If you’ve recently given birth

  • During menstruation

  • If you experience dyspnea, COPD, or asthma

  • If you are younger than seven or older than 80


This form of nausea will lubricate the sinus passages and then go deeper to penetrate the bony joints of the face. The result is greater freedom to breathe from the nose. With the breath travels, prana, the submittal life-force energy that makes us feel joyful in a life. Stress and tension in the face are relieved. It is a very useful treatment for anyone that flies frequently, lives in a dry climate, or suffers from general dryness. This is why we love to include this breath of fresh air ritual to all facial and energy healing services as a treat to our remarkable guest.
