Nasya is the inhalation of herbal oils, ghee, or ne powders through the nose.
- If you were to have nasya at an Ayurvedic clinic as part of a panchakarma therapy, you'd lie face up on a table with your head leaned back and your nostrils "facing the sky."
- A tiny quantity of a suitable powder, or 3 to 5 drops of a therapeutic oil or ghee, can be inserted into your nostrils.
- Simply dip your little finger (clean and with the nail carefully trimmed) into ghee or whatever herbalized oil is advised and gently massage the inside of your nose with your little finger while doing nasya at home.
- Then, with a little sniff, pull the oil upward.
