What Nasya Helps With
Sinusitis
Chronic congestion, sinus pressure, post-nasal drip. Nasya clears accumulated Kapha from the sinuses and restores drainage.
Migraine & Headache
Especially effective for migraine with a nasal or sinus component. Reduces attack frequency and intensity.
Cervical Stiffness
Chronic neck stiffness and cervical spondylosis respond well — Nasya works directly on the tissues of the head, neck and upper spine.
Insomnia
For sleep issues driven by head tension and mental noise. Nasya calms the head channels and settles the nervous system.
Hair & Skin
Premature greying, hair fall and certain pigmentation issues respond to a course of Nasya combined with appropriate lifestyle changes.
CLASSIFICATION
The Five Types of Nasya
Nasya isn’t a single fixed treatment — the oil and formulation used changes what it’s actually addressing:
1
Virechana Nasya
Detoxifying, decongestant oils and herbal powders — the primary choice for chronic sinusitis, allergies, and Kapha-driven congestion.
2
Brimhana Nasya
Nourishing oils and ghee-based formulations — used for mental fatigue, hair fall and premature greying, and for building strength in depleted, Vata-driven states.
3
Shamana Nasya
Balancing, pacifying formulations — used where inflammation or general dosha imbalance in the head region needs settling rather than aggressive clearing.
4
Navana Nasya
Personalised herbal oils tailored to a specific dosha pattern — often used alongside internal medicines for hormonal or endocrine-linked conditions.
5
Pratimarsha Nasya
A gentle, minimal-oil daily self-care variant using Anu Taila or Brahmi Ghee — the only form of Nasya considered safe for regular home use rather than a supervised course.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What a Nasya Session Feels Like
A brief head and face massage prepares the tissues. A few drops of the prescribed medicated oil are then administered through each nostril while you lie down with your head slightly extended. Most people feel a warm sensation moving through the head and sinuses — not unpleasant, and quickly followed by a noticeable clearing.
- Non-invasive, quick sessions
- Course of 7 to 14 sessions typical
- Works directly on head, sinus and cervical tissues
- Safe alongside your existing medication
- Immediate relief for congestion; longer-term relief with a full course

THE THREE STAGES
The Procedure, Step by Step
1. Purva Karma (preparation) — a brief head and face massage, sometimes combined with gentle steam, to prepare the tissues and open the channels before the oil is administered.
2. Pradhana Karma (main procedure) — you lie down with your head slightly extended, and a few drops of the prescribed medicated oil are administered through each nostril while you breathe deeply to aid absorption.
3. Paschat Karma (post-care) — a short rest period of 20–30 minutes, along with guidance on avoiding wind, dust, and cold exposure for the next few hours so the treatment isn’t undone immediately afterward.
SYMPTOM CHECK
Is Nasya Right for You
Nasya is worth considering if any of this sounds familiar:
Chronic Sinus Congestion or Recurring Sinusitis
Post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, or congestion that keeps coming back.
Migraine or Headaches With a Nasal or Sinus Component
Attacks that seem to build behind the eyes or sinuses specifically.
Chronic Neck Stiffness or Early Cervical Spondylosis
Tightness that radiates up into the head, not just the shoulders.
Sleep Disrupted by Mental Noise or Head Tension
Insomnia driven by an overactive mind rather than physical discomfort.
Hair Thinning or Premature Greying Tied to Stress
Gradual hair fall that’s coincided with a stressful period.
A Sense of Mental Fog or Reduced Focus
Difficulty concentrating that doesn’t have an obvious physical cause.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
When We Ask You to Wait
Nasya is best postponed or avoided in a few specific situations:
Pregnancy or menstruation
Acute infection or high fever
Immediately after a heavy meal or intense physical exercise
A history of chronic nosebleeds (epistaxis)
Immediately after alcohol consumption
Children below 7 years, except the gentle Pratimarsha variant with supervision
None of these are permanent exclusions — most resolve once the underlying issue clears, and your consultation is exactly where this gets checked before a course is scheduled.
TRANSPARENT PRICING
Nasya Treatment Cost in Bangalore
What a Nasya session costs depends on the type of oil or formulation prescribed and whether it’s combined with other therapies like Shirodhara. Your clinic confirms the exact price at consultation, before any course is booked — not after.
