NASYA : KEEP YOUR SINUSES CLEAR IN WINTER SEASON

The ancient practice of nasya delivers a subtle blend of herbs in a soothing base of herbal oil directly through the nasal passages. ... Nasya Oil soothes and protects the nasal passages and helps relieve sinus congestion. Daily nasal lubrication helps to release tension in the head and relieve accumulated stress.

The mucous membranes that line the inside of our nostrils and sinus are warm, moist and clean. In the winter the cold outdoor temperatures, forced air heating systems and poor filtering of indoor air can lead the natural equilibrium of these membranes to become compromised. In order to improve the air quality of the air you breath it can be useful to use a humidifier or an essential oil diffuser. Make sure that your air filters are clean and open the windows when the weather outdoors is bearable. This will help to protect your sinus passages from dry particulate laden air.

In addition to this you can also use two Ayurvedic procedures for purifying and healing the sinuses. These are neti and nasya. In order to do neti start with a cleaned and disinfected neti pot (I use a porcelain neti pot and clean it with hot water and soap after every use). Fill it with warm (not to hot!) water and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt, if it tastes like tears it is usually the right amount. Angle and bend the head slightly to the side so the water pours into the nostril that is higher than other one that the fluid is running out of. Breathe through your mouth and allow the water to gently flow in one nostril and out the other passively. When complete you can let the nostril drain and then do the other side. Do not blow your nose. You can swallow any mucus down the back of your throat and spit it out, but at no time blow out of your nostrils. When this is complete do nasya oil by placing three to five drops of medicated oil into your nostril. 

You can also do nasya without doing neti prior in order to relieve irritation in the sinus’s and stop sneezing. Lie on your back, face up, with a pillow under your shoulders and your head tilted back, so your nostrils are facing the ceiling. You can also do this standing by tilting your head upwards so the nostrils face the sky. Use a dropper bottle to put 3 to 5 drops of medicated oil in each nostril and gently sniff the oil upward into the nose. Stay lying down for a minute or longer so that the oil goes into the sinus cavities and not down your..

Did you know that the nostrils are called “the gateways to the head”. They are the entry point of the breath of life (prana) to the entire body, and are thus the starting point of the entire pathway of prana in the body.

Regular application of nasya oil relieves dryness, nourishes the nervous system, eases tension in the head, neck, throat, and jaw, and fosters calming, stable energy.

Please note: Avoid nasya when you are pregnant..
