About the course
Nasya is one of the Panchakarmas (5 cleanses) mentioned in Ayurveda. Following a face massage and a facial steam medicated herbs (decocted in oil or as a powder) are administered through the nostrils.
Since the nose is the gateway of the head, this therapy is highly effective in curing a number of diseases pertaining to the head, if it is performed systematically.
The therapy cleanses and opens the channels of the head, thereby improving the process of oxygenation, which has a direct influence on the functioning of brain.
Nasya is beneficial if done on a regular basis, because it keeps the eyes, nose, throat and ears healthy. It also prevents the early graying of hair.
