About your persistent sinus issues, Nasyam might actually be really helpful for you! It’s an Ayurvedic procedure focusing on remedying problems related to your head region, including the sinuses. essentially involves the administration of medicated oils or herbal extracts through the nose. This therapy can aid in clearing sinuses, reducing nasal congestion and even address dizziness you’re experiencing.
Nasyam works by opening up the channels in your head and neck. It encourages the natural elimination of toxins, rejuvenating the excess Kapha (mucus) that might be messing with your sinus balance. It’s not uncommon for people to notice improvements even after the first session, although for chronic sinus issues, couple of sessions might be more beneficial.
Yes, it can offer relief for the sinus congestion and associated headaches, and people with mild to moderate sinus issues often find considerable help through Nasyam.
About the discomfort, well it can be bit unusual if you’ve never experienced similar therapies, but shouldn’t cause major pain. It might feel intense if your nasal passages are heavily congested but prepping with a little steam inhalation beforehand can make things smoother. As for the duration of the oil’s effect, it tends to last a while but regular treatment can bring long-term benefits—depending on individual constitution and lifestyle factors.
Regarding those specific herbs and oils, you’re spot on with sesame oil and eucalyptus. An experienced Ayurvedic practitioner can choose the right blend for your specific dosha imbalances. Other herbs like Brahmi or Calamus might also be used based on your body constitution and needs.
Before you decide to go for this, a quick check with a practitioner is ideal. They’ll assess your Prakriti, current state of health and any conditions that might contraindicate Nasyam. If there’s active infection or severe blockages, Nasyam might need to wait till those are addressed, but it’s generally safe when done under Ayurveda practitioner’s guidance.
And for dizziness you mentioned, the procedure can help with maintaining equilibrium in your head and neck. Following through with dietary changes, yoga practice that focuses on improving sinuses, like some Pranayams, further enhances the benefits. Would be wise to discuss everything first to know if it’ll suit you and a test session might be insightful.
Hope this help! Feel free to reach out with how it goes, or any more questions you have.
