Put Ghee In Nose - #5439
I came across something unusual while reading about Ayurveda – people actually put ghee in nose for health benefits. It sounds strange, but I’m curious if it’s really helpful. I’ve been struggling with dryness in my nose, especially in the winter, and someone said this practice, which I think is called Nasya, might help. Here’s my concern though – is it safe to put ghee in nose? I know ghee is natural and used in so many Ayurvedic remedies, but the idea of putting it up my nose feels odd. How do you even do it? Do you just use regular kitchen ghee, or does it need to be some special Ayurvedic kind? I also read that when you put ghee in nose, it can help with sinus issues, headaches, and even stress. I’ve been getting frequent headaches lately and feel really foggy most mornings. Could this practice actually help with that? And how often are you supposed to do it? One thing I worry about is whether it could cause a reaction or make you feel stuffy. I already have sensitive sinuses, so I wouldn’t want to make things worse. Are there any risks to using this method?
