Nasyam Side Effects - #5975

It’s not uncommon to experience some temporary side effects after undergoing Nasyam, especially if the nasal passages are sensitive or if the oils or herbs used during the treatment are potent. The burning sensation in your nasal passages and the headache you experienced can be typical, as Nasyam often involves the use of medicated oils or herbal formulations that can cause some irritation or mild discomfort, particularly if your sinuses are congested or inflamed. Dryness and irritation in the nose can also occur if the procedure was not done properly, or if the oils were too strong for your system. It's important to communicate with your practitioner about your experience, as they may adjust the formulation or the technique used in future treatments to suit your needs better. To minimize side effects in the future, it’s helpful to avoid cold foods, drinks, or exposure to wind immediately after the treatment, as these can aggravate nasal irritation. Ensure that your nasal passages are well hydrated and follow any aftercare instructions, like gentle steam inhalation or using a saline nasal spray, to keep your sinuses clear and moist. If the side effects persist or worsen, it’s a good idea to consult your practitioner to ensure the treatment was appropriate for your condition or to explore other forms of nasal therapy, such as saline irrigation or different herbal preparations. It's possible that your body simply needs time to adjust, but any persistent or unusual reactions should be addressed with your Ayurvedic specialist.
