Nasya therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment where warm, herb-infused oil is gently applied through your nostrils. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for nose, and classical Ayurvedic texts describe the nose as the doorway to the head.
Your Nasya treatment begins with a soothing massage of your head, face, neck and shoulders, then an Abhyanga massage across your whole body. Lying back with your head slightly tilted, you then receive a few warm drops of medicated oil in each nostril and breathe in softly. We use Anu Thailam and a nourishing herbal oil chosen according to your treatment plan. Your practitioner finishes with light strokes over your forehead and cheeks before you clear your throat with a warm saltwater gargle.
