Nasya Oil to Get Rid of Stuffy Nose

If you’re desperate on how to get rid of a stuffy nose, one solution that has proven helpful is nasya oil–a remedy of sesame oil infused with herbs. It’s a traditional Ayurvedic stuffy nose remedy. If you’re having problems with congested sinuses, this may be the thing that finally gives you some relief. The best part is that unlike the Western approach, you won’t spend a lot of money or have side effects from the remedy.

How to Get Rid of a Stuffy Nose Fail

Breathing is pretty important. I rank it high on the list of things I have to do every day, so when my sister told me I stopped breathing several times during the night, that was the catalyst that made me spend the next year visiting doctors trying to figure out why. Let me tell you what I learned so you can save yourself some money and aggravation.

To make a long story short, I was eventually diagnosed with sleep apnea, but that expensive machine they sent me home with didn’t help one bit. I was too congested for any air to make its way into my sinuses. My allergies don’t give me red eyes, a runny nose, or make me sneeze. I simply get so stuffed up I can’t breathe through my nose.

So, I started taking decongestants which is tiresome and expensive. I decided to take my health into my own hands and figure out how to get rid of a stuffy nose on my own.

Using Nasya Oil To Get Rid of a Stuffy Nose

I already knew about the Ayurvedic practice of using neti pots. I actually owned one but I hadn’t been using it (duh). I wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to clear my sinuses. As it turns out, there is a healing oil for your sinuses.

Nasya oil, like the neti pot, comes from the Ayurvedic tradition. The word nasya means to dispense something through the nose so it roughly means nose oil. The oil I use contains the following:

  • Sesame oil
  • Olive oil
  • Brahmi
  • Calamus
  • Skullcap
  • Eucalyptus essential oil

How to Do Nasya Using Ayurvedic Nasya Oil

The formula is meant to lubricate the nasal passages and help decongest the sinuses. In Ayurveda, the nose is the entrance to the brain, mind, and consciousness. The breath is also key because the vital life force, Prana, accesses the body through the breath. Moisturizing the sinuses with herb-infused oil affect the higher cerebral functions such as mental clarity, memory, and intuition.

You should not use nasya oil immediately after using the neti pot. Wait at least 24 hours to let all the saline solution from the neti pot wash drain from your sinuses. Administer 5-10 drops while lying on your back with your head tilted upwards. If you find this method difficult, you can put the drops on your finger and massage the nasal passages.

Nasya oil is especially handy if you’re traveling by airplane. The dry air can irritate your sinuses and you’ll find nasya oil comforting since it moisturizes and soothes the nasal passages. It’s also easier to use in public than a neti pot. You don’t have to use the two therapies together, but they do complement each other.
