Nasyam

Description

Nasyam is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment offered in Kovalam, Kerala, which focuses on cleansing and rejuvenating the nasal passages. It is believed to be effective in treating various respiratory and sinus-related ailments, as well as promoting overall well-being.

A typical Nasyam session in Kovalam may begin with a consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who will assess your health condition, medical history, and individual needs. The practitioner will then determine the appropriate type of Nasyam treatment for you, which may vary depending on your dosha (Ayurvedic body type), health concerns, and other factors.

During the Nasyam treatment, you will be asked to lie down with your head tilted back. The practitioner will then administer a few drops of medicated oil or herbal decoction into your nostrils, followed by gentle massaging and manipulation of the nasal passages, sinuses, and surrounding areas. The medicated oil or decoction used in Nasyam is specifically chosen based on your condition and dosha, and it is believed to have cleansing, detoxifying, and rejuvenating properties.

The Nasyam treatment is believed to help clear the nasal passages, relieve congestion, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy respiratory function. It is also thought to have a calming effect on the mind and nervous system, which can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.

After the Nasyam treatment, you may be advised to rest and avoid exposure to cold, dust, and pollutants to allow the medicated oil or decoction to fully work in the nasal passages. It’s important to communicate with your practitioner during the session, providing feedback about any sensations, discomfort, or changes you may experience.

It’s also recommended to follow any post-treatment recommendations provided by the practitioner, such as avoiding excessive heat, cold, spicy foods, and alcohol, as well as practicing good nasal hygiene to maintain the benefits of the Nasyam treatment.
