Nasya therapy is one of the main five cleansing actions of Pancha Karma. It is also an independent oil treatment. This therapy benefits all three doshas, though it is especially effective in clearning excess Vata and Kapha from the head, neck, throat and sinuses. At Puja Wellness we have developed a nasya therapy that purges and rejuvenates the tissues and organs of the head and neck. It is used for dry nasal passages, sinus congestion, common cold, chronic sinusitis, allergies and allergic rhinitis. It also relieves headaches, migraines, muscular tension, mental imbalance and epilepsy.
During this treatment, a massage is performed for the head, neck, face, chest and shoulders using warm, aromatic oils. Then, the client receives a steam of the upper body to liquefy and expell toxic build up and excess dosha. Nasya oil is applied to the nasal passage to lubricate and protect the tissues. Finally, the client practices gandusha or gargling using cleansing herbs for throat.
