What is ‘Nasya Panchkarma’?

Nasya treatment refers to an Ayurvedic therapy that includes instillation of herbal oils, juices or powders through the nasal route. It works specifically on disorders of ear, nose and throat. Nasya is one among the five Panchakarma therapies. It is especially desirable for diseases of parts above the base of the neck; nasal passage being the gateway of the head.

The procedure of Nasya can be classified under three headings,

  1. Poorvakarma or pre purificatory measures

  2. Pradhanakarma or main procedure of Nasya
    This is the main step of Nasya and includes instillation of luke warm medication in both the nostrils, alternately, with the help of proper instrument like dropper. The sole, shoulder, neck, ear and palm are gently massaged after the administration of the drug
  3. Paschatkarma or post therapeutic measures
    In this procedure patients mouth is cleaned by giving luke warm water to gargle and then medicated smoke is given for inhalation.

How Does Nasya Panchkarma Treatment Work?

The medicaments administered through the nostrils pervade into the nervous (Brain) and venous system (Blood circulation) present in and around the nostrils. Then they evacuate the morbidity present or distributed in nearby area. Thus it relieves the blockage of the channels and the diseases are cured effectively.
