The nasal passages are the doorways to the mind and senses, and are the first site where Prana, or life force energy, is absorbed through breathing. The nostrils also serve to purify the air so that it is better able to extract the life-energy from the air. If the nose is blocked or a person breathes through the mouth, this important cleansing does not happen. Any stagnant or congested space in the nose or sinuses provides a breeding ground for pathogens and further weakens the immune system.

The location of the nostrils is directly below the brain and, as such, they provide a direct entrance to and impact on the brain, the nervous system, and the senses. When the head is congested, the brain becomes dull, thinking becomes confused or muddled, memory is weakened and perception declines. The brain itself becomes stagnant. For the health of the brain and the whole nervous system, the right absorption of Prana in the head is important. And this depends upon the right functioning of the nostrils. This location also allows for a direct input of herbs through the sinuses through application of nasya.

In Ayurveda, this practice us used as a healing therapy to address conditions of the mind, the nervous system including the glands in the upper body, headaches, and sinuses issues. It is one of the easiest and quickest ways to directly receive effective results from herbs for a quick input into the blood stream and nervous system.This therapy is considered very effective for curing a number of diseases related to head and upper body part. 

The Nasya karma not only treats disease but also cleans and opens the channels hence thus improves the process of prana and circulation. 

Applying Nasya oil into your nostrils has many benefits.

When the epithelial tissues in the nostrils are moist, they are less susceptible to dryness, pollen, environmental allergens / pollutants, and nose bleeds due to dry air.Depending on the specific herbs in the formula, it can positively benefit the head, nervous system, mental / emotional states, allergies, hormones, neck pain, headaches, post nasal drip, memory, insomnia, depression, tinnitus and more.

Nasya is the administration of herbal medicine through the nasal passage. According to Ayurveda, the sinus cavity is the gateway to our consciousness, prana vayu and the Nervous System.
