Nasya Treatment - Ayurvedic Nasal Therapy
Nasya is an ancient Ayurvedic cleansing therapy where medicated herbal oils or powders are administered through the nostrils. This gentle nasal treatment cleanses the head and neck region, soothes the nerves, and balances Kapha and Pitta doshas for holistic wellness.
At Yuvrit Ayurveda’s HSR clinic, Nasya is used to address chronic sinus congestion, migraine relief, and stress-related symptoms. By instilling nourishing oils into the nasal passages, Nasya helps clear mucus, improve breathing, and promote mental clarity – providing a drug-free, rejuvenating solution for both head and body health.
Who can benefit from Nasya
Nasya therapy is recommended for individuals with head, neck, or respiratory imbalances. It can be particularly helpful if you experience any of the following:
- Sinus congestion & nasal blockages – Relieves chronic sinusitis, allergy-related congestion, and postnasal drip.
- Chronic headaches & migraines – Eases tension and reduces headache frequency through gentle nerve relaxation.
- Throat and voice issues – Beneficial for hoarseness, tonsillitis, and throat irritation by clearing mucus in the throat.
- Stress, anxiety & insomnia – Balances the nervous system and promotes calm, aiding in better sleep and reduced anxiety.
- Dry eyes or vision issues – Nourishes ocular nerves and tissues, which may help with eye dryness and blurred vision.
- Neurological concerns – Supports conditions like mild facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy) or neuralgia by improving circulation to the head.
How Nasya is Done
At Yuvrit Ayurveda, our Nasya therapy follows a standardized three-step process for comfort and effectiveness
Preparation stage
A gentle facial massage and steam therapy are done to open the nasal and sinus channels, making the tissues more receptive.
Main Procedure
Patient is asked to lie on their back with the head tilted slightly. A warm, medicated nasal oil or herbal decoction (selected based on your dosha) is administered drop by drop into each nostril (typically 4–6 drops). The patient is asked to inhale gently to allow the medicine to reach deeper tissues and then spit out the phlegm without swallowing it. The total Nasya administration takes about 5–10 minutes.
Post-Therapy Care & Recovery
After installation of medicine into the nasal cavity, warm water gargling needs to be performed along with Dhuma (herbal smoking). Avoid cold exposure, loud noise, or heavy meals immediately after the session.
Nasya Health benefits
Nasya offers a range of therapeutic benefits for the head, senses, and overall well-being:
- Clears Sinuses & Improves Breathing: Nasya helps expel excess Kapha (mucus) from the nasal passages, reducing congestion and chronic sinusitis.
- Relieves Headaches & Migraines: By nourishing nerves and calming the head and neck region, Nasya can lessen tension headaches and migraine frequency.
- Balances Mind & Emotions: Many patients feel mentally refreshed and less anxious after Nasya, experiencing better focus and mood balance.
- Nourishes Sense Organs: Medicated oils used in Nasya deeply moisturize the nasal tissues and support the health of related organs.
- Enhances Sleep Quality: With reduced mental stress and clearer breathing, Nasya often helps correct sleep imbalances.
- Detoxifies Head & Neck Area: Nasya helps remove “ama” (toxins) accumulated above the clavicle, promoting vitality and preventing disease.
Who Should Avoid Nasya (Contraindications)
While Nasya is generally safe, it should be avoided or done only with a doctor’s approval if you have any of the following conditions:
- Active Nasal Bleeding or Severe Congestion: If your nose is severely congested , Nasya may be ineffective or uncomfortable until your sinuses open up.
- Acute Illness or High Fever: Wait until your body temperature normalizes to ensure comfort and safety.
- Pregnancy and Early Postpartum: Expectant mothers should consult a doctor before Nasya. In early pregnancy or right after delivery, Nasya is typically postponed as a precaution.
- Oil or Herb Allergies: Let us know if you have known allergies to specific oils or herbal ingredients. We can often substitute with milder formulations or skip the treatment if needed.

How many sessions are needed for best results?
For chronic issues, a short course of 5–7 sessions may be advised. For general wellness or stress relief, even 1–2 sessions can be beneficial. Your Ayurveda physician will recommend the right plan for you.
Do I need to follow any regimen after a Nasya treatment?
Yes. After Nasya, it’s important to follow the post-treatment regimen which will be instructed by our doctors. This includes dietary and lifestyle modifications and follow-up appointments to ensure best outcome.
How do I prepare for a Nasya session?
No complicated prep is needed, but a light, comfortable meal 1–2 hours before your session is best. Please avoid heavy or spicy food right before. Arrive in comfortable, easily washable clothing since a bit of oil can spill. We will ask you to empty your nose by gently blowing it before starting. During the therapy, we keep you warm and relaxed. Afterward, avoid stepping out into cold air or dust; taking a few minutes to rest here is ideal.
Are there any side effects of Nasya therapy?
When done by skilled therapists, Nasya has minimal side effects. Most people feel clear-headed and refreshed afterward. In rare cases, some may experience mild throat irritation or a runny nose immediately after the session as excess Kapha is expelled. If that happens, it quickly subsides. Also, sitting up too fast can cause brief lightheadedness; we ensure you rise slowly. Overall, Nasya is gentle and non-invasive.
