Nasyam Side Effects - #5975

Ah, so you underwent Nasyam—it's quite beneficial for issues like sinus congestion and headaches, though like most treatments, it can come with its quirks. That burning sensation you're feeling in your nasal passages, along with the headache, aren’t entirely unusual. These could be considered minor side effects, particularly if you’ve just had your first session or the oil used was a tad too potent, this might be more pronounced. Sometimes the herbs or oils in Nasyam, especially if they have a strong formulation, can cause initial discomfort or a lingering sensation in the nasal area. It's like your body's way of adjusting to the rejuvenation process, and usually these sensations mellow out as your body gets used to the treatment. Now, about that irritation or dryness in the nose, it could indeed happen if the dosage or technique isn't tailored right. Ensuring the practitioner uses the right type and amount of oil suited for your dosha type is essential. You could bring this up with your practitioner; perhaps the oils or herbs' potency could be adjusted, or they could focus a bit more on post-treatment practices. To minimize such effects in the future, staying hydrated, avoiding cold foods and drinks, and avoiding direct wind exposure post-treatment are some handy tips. Warm foods and soothing teas like ginger might help calm your system too. If these symptoms are persisting for more than a short while or worsen, definitely give your practitioner a call. It’s also totally worth getting them to explain the procedure and any post-care tips they might not have covered in detail. Interestingly, Nasyam can be personalized. The procedure can vary in intensity and ingredients depending on your unique prakriti, the season, and specific health concerns. Therefore, letting your practitioner know how your body reacted this time might help them tailor the future sessions better. If the discomfort continues and doesn’t sit right with you, exploring other therapies or consulting another experienced Ayurvedic doctor might be a good way to go.
