In this comprehensive guide, I will introduce you to the powerful healing practice of Ayurveda Nasya. Join me on this journey as we explore the types, indications, contraindications, procedures, and myriad benefits that Nasya offers for your health and wellness.

What is Nasya?

Nasya, also known as Nasyam, is a therapeutic treatment in Ayurveda that involves the administration of herbal oils, powders, or medicated substances through the nasal cavity.
