Instillation of oil in nose - Nasya

The administration of medicines through the nasal route is known as Nasya therapy. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the nose is the gateway to the head so any diseases related to the brain, eyes, nose, and throat can be treated with Nasya therapy. This specialized treatment is believed to be the only treatment in which medicines administered can cross the blood-brain barrier and deliver their therapeutic effect. Nasya therapy enhances the circulation within the head by removing excess mucus from the sinuses and increasing cerebral blood flow. This in turn improves the process of oxygenation which has a direct influence on the functioning of the brain and overall immunity.
