Nasya (nasal oiling) is a powerful, simple Ayurvedic ritual to support clear breathing, mental clarity, and upper-airway health. Learn technique and precautions.

What Is Nasya and Why It Matters

Nasya—gentle oiling or medicated drops administered through the nose—is a core Ayurvedic practice for maintaining the head’s subtle pathways. It’s recommended for seasonal care, mental clarity, and respiratory maintenance.

Benefits of Regular Nasya

  • Clears nasal passages and supports breathing.
  • Calms mental fog and enhances focus.
  • Moisturizes dry mucosa and supports sinus comfort.

How to Practice Simple Nasya at Home

  1. Lie back comfortably with the head slightly tilted.
  2. Use a dropper to place 2–3 drops into each nostril.
  3. Gently inhale and relax for a minute; remain lying for 2–3 minutes to allow absorption.
  4. Wipe excess oil and sit up slowly.

Precautions & When to See a Practitioner

Avoid nasya during active nasal bleeding, severe sinus infection, or immediately after nasal surgery. If you have chronic sinus disease or are on medication, seek practitioner guidance for personalized protocols.
