Read this first. Skip Nasya with an active fever, a severe sinus or ear infection, or early pregnancy, without your doctor's clearance. It is not given right after a heavy meal.

Key Takeaways
  • Pratimarsha Nasya is the mild, daily version your doctor can teach you to continue at home.
  • Marsha Nasya is the stronger, supervised version given only at the clinic.
  • Both are ₹800 per sitting at AMRUT AYU CARE™ (with Dhumapana: ₹1,200). Care and management support only; outcomes vary.

What Is Nasya in Ayurveda?

In short: Nasya is the Ayurvedic term for a measured dose of a medicated oil or decoction placed in the nostrils to clear and nourish the nasal passage and the head region.

Nasya treats the nose as a direct route to the head: a measured dose of a prescribed oil, placed in the nostrils, is read as reaching Kapha and Vata seated in the head and sinuses. Ayurveda groups it among the classical Panchakarma therapies, though Nasya is a short, local procedure, not a multi-day course like Basti.

A measured dose

A specific oil, never a nasal spray.

The head region

Read as clearing Kapha, calming Vata.

What Is the Difference Between Pratimarsha and Marsha Nasya?

Pratimarsha is the mild form: a few drops, taught once at the clinic, then continued at home as a daily routine. Marsha is the stronger form: a larger, supervised dose given only at the clinic for an active complaint, never self-administered.

Can Pratimarsha Nasya Really Be Done at Home?

Yes, once a doctor has assessed you, confirmed Pratimarsha suits your case, and taught you the technique and dose. It is never started from a video or product label alone; the first sitting always happens at the clinic.

1

In-person assessment

The doctor checks your nose, sinuses and Prakriti first.
2

A taught first sitting

You learn the drops, angle and timing at the clinic.
3

A home routine

Continued daily, with the prescribed oil only.
4

A follow-up check

The doctor reviews and adjusts the plan.

Why Is Early Winter a Common Time to Ask About Nasya?

Hemanta ritu (roughly mid-October to mid-December) is read as a season of Kapha accumulation, with Agni otherwise at its strongest. Drier air and more dust through this period are a common reason patients ask about a Nasya routine.

Who Should Book a Nasya Consultation?

Book to have a doctor assess whether daily Pratimarsha suits you, or if an active complaint calls for Marsha instead. It does not replace care for a fever, an infection, or any emergency symptom: see the caution above.

Full Panchakarma at Ghorpadi and Hadapsar; consultation at Wagholi; online first for Kharadi and Viman Nagar. See the Hadapsar branch page for evening slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do Nasya every day at home?

Only Pratimarsha, and only once a doctor has checked you and taught you the technique and dose. It is care and management support, and outcomes vary from person to person.

Why would I need Marsha Nasya at the clinic instead?

An active nasal, sinus or head complaint is usually managed with the stronger, supervised dose, which is never self-administered at home. The doctor decides which form suits you at consultation.

What does a Nasya consultation cost?

Nasya and Pratimarsha Nasya are ₹800 per sitting at AMRUT AYU CARE™; Nasya with Dhumapana is ₹1,200. The first visit includes a consultation to decide which form is right for you.
