Ashishveda Ayurvedic Therapy – Nasya
ASHISHVEDA NASYA
Nasya means nose. Nasya also means application of medicine through nostrils. In Ayurveda Nose is said to be the door to the head or skull.
What is the procedure of Nasya?
Nasya is performed early in the morning or first thing in the morning. The head must be tilted back so that medicine can go inside properly. Three to five drops of oil, ghee, or decoction is put in each nostril. Head and neck massage is performed before putting the medicine in the nostrils. Clients are asked to stay in this position for two to three minutes for the medicines to be absorbed in the nose. Steam of hot water infused with herbs or essential oils is given afterwards for three to five minutes.
