Directions for Use
Please read this section fully before use, and consider a consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner if you're new to Nasya, this is a more involved practice than most of the topical products in this range.
• Standard dose: 1–2 drops per nostril, or as prescribed by your Ayurvedic practitioner.
• Warm the oil first: Ghee naturally solidifies at room temperature. Gently warm the Nasya before use, place the container in warm water for a few minutes until liquid and comfortably warm. Test on your inner wrist first, it should be lukewarm, never hot.
• Lying down preparation: Lie down with the head tilted gently back and to one side. Apply 1–2 drops into the upward-facing nostril. Remain still for 1–2 minutes. Roll to the other side and repeat.
• Finger application (simpler daily practice): For daily Pratimarsha Nasya, place 1–2 drops on the little finger and gently coat the inside of each nostril.
• Timing: Traditionally practiced on an empty stomach, at least an hour before or after exercise, or meal, most often in the morning as part of a daily routine.
• Sequencing with Vacha Nasya: For those with more congestion, excess Kapha, Ama, or channel blockage in the nasal passages, Vacha Nasya (a clearing, activating Nasya preparation) may be more ideal for 1–2 weeks before beginning Ghee Nasya. This clearing step ensures the channels are open and receptive to the nourishing action of Ghee Nasya. Seek guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner for the appropriate sequencing.
• Steam or rinse after application: For enhanced penetration, steam the face (hold the face over a bowl of warm water with a towel draped over the head) or rinse the face and mouth with warm water after applying. If the oil naturally drains into the throat, gently hawk and spit it out rather than swallowing. This traditional clearing step helps remove loosened mucus and supports comfortable cleansing of the nasal passages.
• Important safety note: Not recommended during pregnancy, active congestion, or nasal blockage without practitioner guidance. Do not use if you've recently had nasal surgery. Discontinue if you experience any discomfort, irritation, or unexpected symptoms, and consult a healthcare practitioner. If you're new to Nasya, please start under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, this product page is general information, not a substitute for that guidance.
