Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 With regard to the query on blocked sinuses, a panchakarma treatment of ayurveda called nasya is very efficacious in draining blocked sinus. Nasya means to instill medicated drops into each nostril. This is done in 2 steps: 1) Preparation Sesame seed oil (Til Tailam) is slightly warmed and applied on the forehead and temples followed by a gentle massage and light fomentation. 2) Main procedure The patient has to lie supine with the head tilted right back so that the nostrils are pointed in the upward direction. A pillow or some other support under the neck will facilitate this. Generally 2 drops of medicated oil are instilled in each nostril. Lie down in supine position for a further 5 minutes. Any oil which comes down the throat should be spit out. Various types of oils can be used for this purpose such as Anu tailam , Panchendriyavardhan tailam etc. Nasya can also be done with the powder (choorna) of medicinal herbs. The powder is taken in a paper funnel and is blown forcefully into each nostril. This is known as pradhaman nasya. A mixture of dry powders of Shunthi (Zinziber officinale ) – 3 parts and Vacha (acorus calamus)-1part can be used. This is considerably more potent than medicated oil nasya.
