Nasal Treatment in Ayurveda, known as Nasya, is a therapeutic procedure that involves the administration of herbal oils, powders, or extracts through the nostrils to treat various conditions related to the head, neck, and respiratory system. It is a key aspect of Panchakarma therapy and is used to clear blockages, improve mental clarity, and balance the doshas (body energies). Nasal treatments are particularly effective for conditions affecting the sinuses, eyes, ears, throat, and the respiratory system.
