Nasyam

Nasyam is an Ayurvedic therapy that eliminates the excess bodily humors accumulated in the nasal sinuses or throat. Nasyam is part of the Ayurvedic treatment ‘Panchakarma’, which is a detoxification process.

What is the process of Nasyam?

Nasal drops made with herbal extracts and/or oil are gently applied into each nostril after a short head, shoulder and facial massage with medicated oil. Nostrils are considered to be the passageway to the head. As a ‘paschat karma’ (post therapy process), dhoomapanam may be done after expulsion of kapha as advised by Ayurvedic doctor.

Anu Tailam, Ksheerabala (fortified 101 times) etc. are the oils used for the treatment. The doctor may add in other types of medicated oil according to the conditions of the individual.

How long is the treatment?

Each Nasyam therapy lasts 30 minutes. Treatment is done over the course of 7 or 10 days, according to the instructions from our consultant based on the conditions of the individual.

What are the benefits of Nasyam?

Nasyam detoxifies the upper part of your body – areas above the shoulder such as the nose, throat, sinuses and head. It helps to improve your memory and manage migraines or other chronic headaches that you may have. It nourishes the facial tissues and improves the perceptions of your senses such as vision, hearing & taste and is helpful in alleviating diseases like vertigo, facial paralysis and tinnitus.

Nasyam’s detoxification improves your face glow. It can also help to prevent hair loss or premature greying of hair. It is useful in managing your stress, poor concentration or any psychological conditions you may have.
