Nasyam Treatment?

Nasyam, a component of Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment, is an effective therapy that involves the administration of herbal oils or medications through the nasal passage. Derived from Sanskrit, “nasya” means nose and “am” means to administer.

Benefits of NasyamTreatment

This treatment aims to cleanse and rejuvenate the head and neck areas, making it particularly beneficial for disorders related to these regions.

Nasyam helps in eliminating toxins from the sinuses, throat, nose, and head region by softening and mobilizing them through inhalation therapy.

It addresses various conditions such as sinusitis, migraines, allergies, nasal congestion, chronic rhinitis, tinnitus, facial paralysis, anxiety disorders, and even certain neurological ailments like Parkinson’s disease.

By lubricating the nasal passages and improving blood circulation in the head area, Nasyam promotes mental clarity and enhances sensory functions while also providing immense relief by reducing symptoms associated with respiratory problems.

4 Commonly Types of Nasyam Treatment

Pradhamana Nasyam – where dry medicated powders are blown into the nostrils using a tube. It is primarily used to treat Kapha-related disorders such as sinusitis and allergies
Navana Nasyam – A technique in which herbal oils are poured drop by drop into the nostrils. This method is ideal for individuals suffering from Vata dosha imbalances or chronic headaches.
Shirovirechana Nasyam – on the other hand, utilizes strong purgative medicines to cleanse and detoxify the head region and is effective in treating conditions like migraines and neurological disorders.
Brihmana or Snehapana Nasyam – uses ghee or oil-based preparations to nourish and lubricate nasal passages, beneficial for individuals with dryness or congestion issues.

The Procedure of Nasyam

Before the treatment begins, the patient’s face is first prepared through gentle massage and steam therapy to loosen any impurities.

Then, carefully selected herbal oils or powders are administered through one nostril while pressing the opposite side to ensure proper absorption.

The gentle flow of medicated fluids stimulates nerve endings in the nasal passage, promoting blood circulation and relieving congestion.

Who Can Take Nasyam Treatment

Ideal candidates for Nasyam include individuals suffering from sinusitis, migraine headaches, allergies, chronic congestion, facial paralysis, or certain neurological disorders.

Best Time to take the Treatment

The best time to administer Nasyam, a traditional Ayurvedic nasal therapy, is in the morning upon waking up. According to Ayurvedic principles, this treatment works synergistically with the body’s natural rhythms and energy flow.

During early morning hours, known as the “Brahma muhurta,” one experiences a heightened state of awareness and receptivity. This auspicious time aligns with Vata dosha dominance, making it ideal for Nasyam as it helps balance this dosha.
