Nasya – Traditional Ayurvedic Sinus Cleanse & Head Therapy
Nasya is a traditional Ayurvedic sinus cleanse therapy that targets imbalances in the head, neck, and upper respiratory tract. This powerful detoxification method helps relieve sinus congestion, sinusitis, headaches, hormonal imbalances, and poor memory or concentration. Often combined with full body massage for deeper relaxation and enhanced therapeutic benefits, Nasya supports overall respiratory and mental clarity.
The procedure involves administering herbal oils through the nasal passages. These oils—carefully selected according to your dosha constitution and condition—are absorbed through the rich network of blood vessels and nerves in the nostrils, offering a direct path to nourish and heal the brain and nervous system.
Your treatment begins with a calming head, face marma point, and neck massage using warm Ayurvedic oils, followed by herbal facial steam. A precise dose of Nasya oil is then gently instilled into each nostril. This holistic Ayurvedic sinus cleanse supports the proper functioning of the sense organs, improves sleep and cognition, and detoxifies accumulated Kapha and toxins from the upper body.
Nasya is part of the daily Ayurvedic health regimen (Dinacharya) and is beneficial for both preventative care and specific therapeutic needs. Whether you’re dealing with chronic sinus issues or simply looking to revitalise your senses, Nasya offers deep healing rooted in ancient wisdom.

Nasya is a Sanskrit word that refers to the nasal administration of medication. The nose is an important organ and pathway to the internal systems of the body. Nasal medications are easily absorbed into the body.
The Process on the Spot
For your Nasya treatment, you will lie down on the treatment table facing up. A pillow or rolled towel will be placed under your neck so that your head tilts slightly. The therapy begins with an oil massage (Snehana) to the face, neck and shoulders, using sweeping strokes along the nasal bridge and forehead. This is followed by a facial steam or fomentation (Swedana) using a hot towel or steam inhalator.
The head is then titled backwards. While closing one of your nostrils, the therapist will administer drops of the medicated oil into the open nostril. This is repeated on the other nostril. As part of the procedure, you will be asked to inhale deeply while the therapist massages the nasal bridge and forehead. When a sensation of the medication reaching the back of the throat or mouth is felt, you can spit out any excess medication. Finally, the therapist will give you warm water to rinse out your mouth.
