What is Nasya Panchkarma
Ayurveda has prescribed a very effective procedure for cleansing and smoothening of the respiratory tract it is called Nasya.
Nasya is of two types, one that is done under the supervision of the expert, called Marsh or Navana Nasya and another, which can be be done at home called Pratimarsha Nasya.
Pratimarsha Nasya is a type of Nasya-karma, which is indicated for daily practice and is helpful in prevention of diseases of head, neck, oral cavity and also respiratory system.
The professional procedure is performed under the supervision of experts at Maharishi Ayurveda hospital and health centers.
But pratimarsha nasya can be performed at home very comfortably. About two drops of specially prepared herbalized oil (most common is Anu-Tail) is applied into both nostrils, which is massaged and inhaled.
This loosens the dried up phlegm, which gets deposited in the respiratory track and sinuses. This cleanses, lubricates and maintenance the softness of the whole respiratory tract, and helps in performing its one of the most important function that is capturing the impurities of the inhaled air, which includes dust particles and various microorganisms like viruses, bacteria etc.
It also improves the production of phlegm, which catches the impurities deposited in the respiratory tract and comes out after sweeping the whole track clean.
This procedure is very helpful in maintaining proper functioning of respiratory tract, especially in areas where the atmospheric air is contaminated with dust particles and other impurities and also in dry or very cold areas where there is not enough moisture in the air.
This small procedure can very comfortably prevent many complicated diseases, which are associated with the entire respiratory system.
At Maharishi Ayurveda preparation of Nasya oils is very elaborate and cumbersome procedure, which takes about 14 days or more of processing. So that the oil, which goes into the nostrils is effective and completely free from any unwanted substance.
As per Ayurveda texts there are various kinds of Nasya as it is one of the major Panchkarma treatments but for most people Pratimarsha Nasya on daily basis will be helpful.
