    How to do Nasya

    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.
    Here is a simple procedure to follow for self-administration o!f nasya:
    1. Begin by comfortably lying down on your back and tilting your head back with your nostrils opening towards the
    sky. If you are lying on a bed, you may hang your head off the edge of the bed, or place a small pillow beneath
    your neck for support.
    2. Place 5-10 drops of nasya oil in each nostril. With skill, you can administer the oil, drop by drop, circling the inside
    perimeter of the nostril, thoroughly coating the nasal membranes.
    3. Take a big sniff in, then rest for a few minutes allowing the nasya to penetrate.

    If lying down is not convenient, you can also apply nasya this way:
    1. Place a drop of nasya oil on the little finger and carefully insert it into the nostril.
    2. Gently massage the inner walls of the nasal passage.
    3. Alternate left and right nostrils until each nostril has received a total of three applications of oil.
    The lubrication and gentle massage helps to alleviate stress and release any tension in the tissues.
