Hello, No-mustard oil is not recommended for nasal use, especially directly inside the nose. It can irritate the delicate nasal lining and if accidentally inhaled, may even cause inflammation in the lungs Simple safe and effective For your case mild dryness + weather change Ayurveda suggests gentle nasal lubrication What to use instead -cow ghee = best and safest -Anu taila= intill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning -Sesame oil =mild and warming How to use -take 2 drops in each nostril -do this morning or before sleep -lie down or tilt head back slightly -sniff gently don’t inhale forcefully Supportive tips -Drink more warm water hydration is key -Avoid too much AC/ direct fan air -You can also do steam inhalation once daily Avoid -mustard oil inside nose (too strong, irritant) -overuse of any oil (keep it light) Your symptoms suggest mild vata imbalance (dryness + weather change)-> so focus on moistening + warm practices Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
