No Mustard oil should not be used as nasya as it may irritate ur nasal mucosa instead u can use Anu tailam for nasya which will be a good choice for rhinitis
Hello I get why you’re worried—those constant colds, sneezes, and allergies from dust and pollen can be a real pain, especially when they keep coming back. The cool thing is that Ayurveda has some good ways to stop them from happening so often, and Nasya is a big one. WHAT’S UP WITH YOUR BODY (ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA) So, based on what you’re saying: * Allergic to dust & pollen * Sneezing a lot * Colds keep coming back * You’re 36 In Ayurveda, this sounds like: * Too much Vata-Kapha going on * Your nose is super sensitive * Too much Kapha stuff building up in your nose, sinuses, and throat
CAN MUSTARD OIL NASYA HELP? ✅ Yes , mustard oil (Sarshapa Taila) Nasya can usually help, but there are some things to know. It can: * Cut down on Kapha buildup * Clear up a stuffed nose * Help your nose fight off stuff better * Help you not sneeze and get a cold so much BUT Mustard oil is kinda: * Strong and might irritate things * It could burn or dry you out if you use it for too long * Not great if your nose is super sensitive or you’re really allergic 👉 So, it’s not the best thing to use all the time if you have allergic rhinitis.
A BETTER THING TO USE INSTEAD OF MUSTARD OIL: Anu Taila Nasya is usually the best for allergies Why Anu Taila? * Works well for Pratishyaya, allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis * Balances out Vata & Kapha * Makes your nose stronger * Helps you not get colds, sneezes, and headaches so often * It’s safe to use for a while HOW TO DO NASYA (IMPORTANT!) How much: * 2 drops in each nostril When * In the morning, before you eat * Best time: most times of the year unless it’s super cold/you have a fever How to do it: * Sit or lie down with your head tilted back a bit * Put 2 drops in one nostril, then the other * Sniff gently * Spit out any oil that goes down your throat * Don’t go out in the cold for 30 minutes
HOW LONG TO DO NASYA * Every day for 7 days * Then 2–3 times a week to keep things good * You can usually use Anu Taila for a long time without problems WILL NASYA HELP ME NOT GET COLDS & SNEEZING SO MUCH? ✅ Definitely If you do Nasya regularly: * Your nose will be stronger * Won’t be as sensitive to allergies * Won’t get sick as often * Will help your breathing OTHER AYURVEDIC THINGS THAT REALLY HELP INTERNAL MEDICATION * Sitopaladi Churna – ½ tsp twice a day with honey * Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp at night with warm milk Things to do at home to stop problems * Breathe in steam with plain water or ajwain – once a day * Don’t use cold water on your head * Don’t eat curd at night * Drink warm water What to eat and not eat * Don’t have: * Cold drinks * Ice cream * Too much junk food * Go out in the cold at night * Have: * Warm, fresh food * Turmeric, ginger, black pepper * Lukewarm water WHEN YOU SHOULDN’T DO NASYA * If you have a fever * If you have a bad cold with a really stuffed nose * Right after eating * If you’re pregnant SO. * Mustard oil Nasya → Only for a short time * Anu Taila Nasya → Usually the best and safest * Do Nasya regularly + eat right = keep allergies under control for a long time * Helps stop colds and sneezes & helps you feel better Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO, Dust and pollen allergies cold and sneezing , is most commonly linked with vata kapha imbalance and often falls under a condition similar to vataja Pratishyaya or kaphaja Pratishyaya in Ayurveda. -vata governs movement and air flow -kapha governs mucus, structure and lubrication WHEN THESE DOSHAS ARE AGGRAVATED -kapha increases overnight, accumulating in the sinuses and nasal passages -vata tries to expel it, leading to repeated sneezing in the morning POSSIBLE TRIGGERS -sudden exposure to cold in morning -dust mites in pillows or bed -weather changes -eating cold or mucus forming foods-curd, banana, milk etc -low immunity or weak digestion GOALS OF TREATMENT -balance kapha and vata doshas -strengthen the respiratory tract and nasal mucosa -improve immunity -improve digestion to reduce toxin formation -prevent recurrence through lifestyle and dietary discipline TREATMENT INTERNALLY 1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + HONEY= 1/2 tsp + 1 tsp honey twice daily after meals for 4 weeks =acts as expectorant, anti allergic, and improves immunity 2) HARIDRAKHANDA= 1 tsp twice daily with warm water for 6 weeks =anti-allergic, reduces sneezing and itching 3) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp with warm water before meals for 4 weeks =improves digestion and reduces kapha 4) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp on empty stomach in morning for 3 months = rasayana to build immunity 5) AMALAKI CAPSULES= 500 mg at night for 8 weeks =builds immunity, reduces stress NASYA THERAPY -SHAD BINDU TAILA= 4 drops in each nostril daily morning after bath for 30-45 days =lubricates nasal passages, open sinuses, detoxifieskapha from head -STEAM INHALATION= water+ turmeric or ajwain seeds for 1-2 times/day =opens sinuses and melts kapha -WARM OIL MASSAGE= sesame oil on face, neck and chest for 3 times/week =improves circulation, reduces vata DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, cooked food= moong dal, rice, cooked veggies - turmeric, ginger, black pepper - herbal teas- tulsi, licorice, cinnamon - cow ghee - lukewarm water throughout the day. AVOID -cold raw food -ice creams, cold drinks, curd(esp at night) - bananas, oranges, guava -fried, oily, or stale food - milk + salt combination PRANAYAM AND YOGA -anulom vilom= 10 min daily, balances prana, clears nasal blockages - bhramari= 5 min, soothes sinuses and nerves - jal neti= 2-3 timmes/week, physically cleans nasal passages -suryanamskar =5 rounds, boosts immunity , circulation HOME REMEDIES -turmeric+ honey paste(1:1)= 1/2 tsp twice a day - tulsi-ginger decocotion= 1 cup daily -steam inhalation with ajwain twice daily - ghee drop in nostrils at night for dryness LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -wake up early -do gentle face and neck massage before bath -avoid cold exposure to head and chest especially in morning -wash bed lines, pillows, curtains frequently to avoid dust -drink warm water throughout the day -avoid daytime naps EXPECTED TIMELINE DURATION 2-4 WEEK= reduced sneezing, runny nose 2-3 month= less recurrence 4-6 months= long term control, tissue healing DURING SEASONAL PREVENTION - repeat nasya, rasayana pre-winter and spring= prevent relapse If Constipation or digestion is impaired, begin with TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 tsp at night -for post nasal drip+ sinus pressure= mix of trikatu churna+ honey -avoid suppressing natural urges(like sneezing, yawing, burping)- worsen vata kapha disorders Chronic sneezing runny nose is not merely a nasal issue; it reflects deeper immune and Doshi imbalances Ayurvedic approach is not symptom-suppressive, but aims to correct root causes by aligning digestion, immunity, and nervous system Consistency in following the protocol, especially in lifestyle and diet, gives long term and sustainable relief Avoid overuse of antihistamines or nasal sprays which only provide temporary relief and suppress natural responses Instead of mustard oil - as mustard oil is heating and can help reduce kapha but it can irritate sensitive nasal mucosa DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
