Nasyam Treatment

About Nasyam Treatment

Nasyam is a therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment primarily focused on the nasal passages. It involves administering herbal oils, juices, or powders through the nostrils. Here are some key points about Nasyam:

Purpose

Nasyam is used to treat various conditions related to the head and neck region, including sinusitis, headaches, migraines, allergies, and certain neurological disorders.

Procedure

During Nasyam, the patient typically lies down with their head tilted back slightly. A few drops of medicated oil or herbal extracts are instilled into each nostril, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the nasal passages.

Types

There are different types of Nasyam based on the specific materials used, such as Sneha Nasya (oil-based), Pravahi Nasya (liquid-based), and Navana Nasya (decoction-based).

Benefits

It is believed to help clear nasal congestion, improve breathing, enhance sensory perception (smell), and alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory and neurological disorders.

Precautions

Nasyam should be performed under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure proper technique and selection of oils or herbs tailored to individual health needs.

Contraindications

People with acute fever, nasal injury or bleeding, pregnant women, and those with recent nasal surgery should avoid Nasyam unless specifically recommended by a healthcare provider.
