NASYA OIL

DESCRIPTION

The upper respiratory tract is made up of the nose, nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). In addition to being the main passageway for breath, the nasal cavity also acts as a first line of defense against environmental irritants. Foreign particles are trapped in the cilia, or hairlike structures, that line the mucous membranes of the nasal passages. Nasya is a traditional method that assists the nasal cavity’s natural cleansing mechanism and lubricates its delicate tissues. It is often used in conjunction with a saline rinse; as saline can leave the nasal tissues dry, Nasya Oil provides the soothing and moisturizing benefits of sesame oil and calming herbs. These herbs—brahmi, calamus, and skullcap—also help to relieve tension in the head, improve the quality of the voice, and promote mental clarity.
