Nasya Karma Therapy (नस्य कर्म)
Classical trans-nasal administration of precious medicated herbal oils to clear chronic sinus congestion, relieve persistent migraines, strengthen optic and cranial nerves, and prevent premature graying.
What is Nasya Karma?
Nasya is one of the five sacred pillars of Panchakarma. It is the primary therapy for all Urdhva Jatrugata Roga (diseases of the head, eyes, nose, throat, and central nervous system). Following facial Marma massage and herbal steam fomentation, customized warm herbal oils (such as Anu Tailam or Shadbindu Tailam) are instilled into each nostril.
The active herbal molecules stimulate the olfactory nerves and the cribriform plate, crossing into cranial micro-capillaries to drain deep trapped mucus (Kapha) and nourish cranial nerve tissues.
