The nose is the direct route to the brain and also the doorway to consciousness. It is the entrance for prana, the life force, which comes into the body through the breath. Healthy uncongested breathing is important to ensure proper flow of prana throughout the head and body. When an excess of bodily fluids accumulates in the sinus, throat, nose or head areas, it is best eliminated through the nose. Administration of herbally infused oil, or nasya, helps facilitate this cleansing process. Nasya Oil soothes and protects the nasal passages and helps relieve sinus congestion. Daily nasal lubrication helps to release tension in the head and relieve accumulated stress. Balancing for vata, pitta, and kapha, Nasya Oil is also traditionally said to improve quality of voice, strengthen vision and promote mental clarity.

Suggested use: Lie on your back, breathing deeply. Measure out the amount of oil you wish to apply (2-6 drops to each nostril). Start with the minimum amount and build up to the amount that feels appropriate for you. Simply tilt head back... block off one nostril and apply the oil to the open nostril as you inhale. Then spend a couple of breaths focusing on drawing the oil into that nostril. Repeat on the other side. Remain reclined for a few minutes to allow the oil to penetrate and be absorbed into the sinus before lifting the head back up.
