Nasya, or Nasal Administration, is a vital Panchakarma therapy in Ayurveda that involves the gentle administration of medicated oils, herbal juices, or powders through the nasal passage. Since the nose is considered the gateway to the head, Nasya plays a key role in cleansing, nourishing, and balancing the organs and systems located above the shoulders. It is particularly effective in managing ailments related to the head, neck, and respiratory system.
At Westwind Ayurveda, Nasya therapy is performed with great care, ensuring comfort, safety, and adherence to authentic Ayurvedic methods. Each session is customized to suit the patient’s constitution and health condition.

Mental Clarity: Stimulates the brain and nervous system, improving focus, memory, and cognitive function.
Headache Relief: Helps manage headaches, migraines, and tension-related discomfort by balancing Vata and Kapha.
Enhanced Senses: Supports the healthy functioning of the eyes, nose, and ears.
Scalp & Hair Care: Strengthens hair roots, prevents premature graying, and promotes overall scalp health.
