Nostrils are known as Shirodwara or the gateway to the head in Ayurveda. The nose is also the entry point of the vital breath or Prana vayu, which is crucial in maintaining vitality and mental clarity. According to Ayurveda, instilling herbal oils or Nasya is one of the essential holistic self-care practices that encourages healthy Prana flow and internal detoxification. Nasya helps to lubricate the nasal passages and clean out excess mucus from the sinuses. This helps reduce the frequency of sinusitis, allergies, and nasal congestion.
