Nasyam therapy is one of the five classical Panchakarma therapies. The procedure involves the administration of drops of either medicated oils, ghee or herbal juices in the nostrils. The duration of the course of the therapy varies from 5 to 7 days or as decided by the vaidya based on the individual’s original constitution (Prakruti ) and the altered state of the constitution (Vikruti) at the time of deciding the treatment.
What makes this Nasyam Therapy the most effective?
Every other treatment in Ayurveda caters to psychosomatic or somatopsychic symptoms of the body. Some of them also address the ailments that surfaced because of lifestyle and dietary mistakes. Ayurveda has mentioned that the nose is the most effective doorway to the brain, mind and consciousness.
