Contraindications
Nasya of any kind should be avoided during pregnancy and menstruation. Young children under 7 and elderly over 80 should avoid all nasya therapies. Nasya is not recommended on a full stomach, directly before exercise, during high fever, during a nose bleed, or at times of breathing difficulties such as asthma attacks.
General Directions
Slightly warm the oil by placing the bottle in warm water for several minutes. Avoid using hot water as it can crack the glass bottle and overheat the oil. Lie down and tilt the head back slightly. Apply 1-5 drops of the oil into each nostril. Take a large inhale through each nostril. Keep the head back for 2-3 minutes, letting the oil penetrate into the sinus cavity. Avoid going out into cold weather for 1-2 hours after application.
SS Nasya can be administered 1-3 times a day as needed. This can be as prevention before a suspected infection, allergy season or allergy attack; or can be administered during an infection or allergy attack as treatment. When needed, use consistently for best results.

Amara –
Is this oil safe to use as an ear oil?
Danielle –
Hi Amara,
Thank you for your question. I do not recommend this oil for the ears due to the use of the essential oils. We now have an Ayurvedic ear oil called Karna Purna Oil that is specific for supporting optimal ear health and ear related issues. You can read more about this product here.
Please let me know if you have any further questions!
Namaste,
Danielle

I use this for my migraines with tremendous results. As long as I catch the headache early it works wonderfully. My migraines typically have a sinus component in that I get slit if associating sinus pain with them. Only thing other than my specific migraine medicine that has worked for me, and I’ve tried it all. 😊

This is a pure miracle. I cannot recommend it enough. It works incredibly well for headaches and migraines, dry sinuses, and more. I think it can also help with tonsil stones, interestingly enough, as the powerful formula drips into the back of your mouth from the sinuses. This is just amazing in so many ways. All of Danielle’s products are incredible. We are so blessed to have her lovely presence here!

This is wonderful Nasya oil. I use it every night to hydrate by sinuses as I live in a very dry climate. I am a Vata and couldn’t live without it! (also love the Vata oil!)

I had been using a Lovely Nasya product from a cherished company for over ten years each morning as a part of my rituals. However, upon finding Svastha Ayurveda I first sampled the Nasya and Oils for Abhyanga, and now am delightfully hooked. All of the Nasya that I have received seems to have consistently high powers to do what it is supposed to do. I can honestly say that I feel that the properties to enhance, protect, and heal are contained within. I love using the Soothing Sinus Nasya every single morning, unless I substitute the Prana Nasya!
