Nasya : The nasal route to better health
Ayurveda suggests that the nose is the gateway to the head. Thus, nasal herb therapy is used for healing diseases of the throat, neck, head, and senses (e.g. ears, nose, eyes, etc.). Nasya is also used for toning and strengthening these areas.
Pacifying Nasyas are useful for internal bleeding and other Pitta head and neck disorders. Snuff is suggested three times daily in the rainy, autumn, and spring seasons when there are no clouds in the sky. Snuff is said to improve vision, smell, and hearing; keep hair from greying and falling out; prevent stiff neck, headache, and lockjaw. It is also said that snuff relieves chronic rhinitis, and head tumours. The veins, joints, ligaments, and tendons of the skull gain greater strength. The face becomes cheerful and well developed; the voice becomes more melodious. Nasya herbs include Bala, Vidanga, Bilva and Musta. They are made into an oil decoction with various other ingredients.
How Nasya work?
When the medicated herbal formula is taken in through the nostrils, it flows through, to reach the membrane of the brain. This alerts the nerves that connect the scalp and the brain, thereby helping with improving the quality of hair follicles.
What are Nasya’s main ingredients?
Formulated with medicated cow’s ghee, it is one of the safest ingredients out there. Ghee has soothing properties. It also delays premature greying of hair and strengthens the immune system.
The Yashtimadu benefits hair health by calming the aggravated pitta levels in you so your dosha won’t act grumpy anymore. It also takes up the role of a hair tonic and brain tonic working on nerves and those responsible for your hair.
