About this item
- IN AYURVEDA, NASYA OIL is considered one of the most important holistic self-care practices to promote clear breathing, encourage internal detoxification, and combat nasal dryness. The practice of nasya helps to lubricate the nasal passages and clear the sinuses.*
- THE NOSE IS CONSIDERED a doorway to consciousness. It is the entrance for prana, the vital life force, which comes into the body through the breath. Healthy, uncongested breathing ensures proper flow of prana throughout the head and body, and the administration of this natural nasal cleaner can promote a sense of clarity and calm.*
- NASYA OIL SOOTHES and protects the nasal passages while nourishing the tissues. As a daily nasal moisturizer, nasya helps release tension in the head and relieve accumulated stress. Nasya Oil is also traditionally used to support vision and improve the quality of the voice.*
- BANYAN BOTANICALS is committed to producing the highest quality Ayurvedic products using USDA certified organic herbs that are sustainably sourced and fairly traded. All our products are 3rd party tested to ensure product quality and safety.
- THE BANYAN GUARANTEE: If for any reason you’re not satisfied with one of our products, we will gladly accept returns for a full product refund.

Product Description
Benefits of Using Nasya
In Ayurveda, the breath is acknowledged as a vessel for prana, the vital life force, to enter the body and nourish the cells with vitality. Nasya Oil supports clear breathing and the proper flow of prana, along with the following benefits.
- Soothes occasional sinus discomfort
- Lubricates the nasal passages
- Promotes calm awareness in the mind
- Traditionally used to improve the voice and support clear vision
1. Lay on Your Back
Begin by comfortably lying down on your back and tilting your head back with your nostrils opening towards the sky.
2. Get Comfortable
If you are lying on a bed, you may hang your head off the edge or place a small pillow beneath your neck for support.
3. Apply Nasya Oil
Place 3–5 drops of Nasya Oil in each nostril, thoroughly coating the inner membranes of the nasal passages.
4. Breathe Deeply
Breathe in deeply and gently, then enjoy the benefits of easier breathing and increased mental calm.
Soothing Nasal Drops for Clear Breathing
Healthy, comfortable breathing is essential to our well-being. Nasya Oil harnesses the power of soothing oils and clarifying herbs to nourish and protect the nasal passage, promoting the free flow of the breath and an increased sense of mental calm. Adding this practice to your daily routine takes no more than a minute and is as simple as placing a few drops of oil in each nostril.
Is Nasya Oil safe for children?
While Nasya Oil is a safe, gentle formula, we suggest consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner before giving it to children. A practitioner can help ensure it is appropriate for the individual and offer guidance on adjusting the amount used.
How many times per day can I use Nasya Oil?
We recommend using Nasya Oil no more than two times per day—once in the morning and once in the evening.
Should I use Nasya Oil when I have a cold or sinus infection?
Ayurveda recommends practicing nasya for preventative care If you are experiencing an illness or sinus infection we encourage you to take a break from using Nasya Oil and consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for more guidance.
Is it safe to use Nasya Oil during pregnancy?
The practice of traditional nasya is considered a cleansing or detoxifying process and is generally contraindicated during pregnancy.
Can Nasya Oil be used at the same time as a neti pot?
It is contraindicated to use nasya at the same time as a neti pot as the combination of oil and water in your sinuses can increase the possibility of developing an overgrowth of microorganisms. We suggest using them at least 24 hours apart.

Updated July 25, 2016:
Overall Use & Effectiveness:
After a few months of using this product, I'm still waking up satisfied. I started using the oil as an oral rinse (oil puller), make up remover and face moisturizer, and ear drops when my ears feel achy. In a world where our healthy bacteria levels are taken for granted and we feel a compulsion to use antibacterial products everyday, this oil is a perfect replacement for so many harsh health products.
Gum Line Improvement:
Last month I started to use this product as an oral rinse (oil pulling when I have time) when waking up. I've seen major improvements in my gum line in just one month. I went to see my dentist a week ago and he said two gums that had started to recede beyond my gum line have stopped receding and the gum line appears to be very healthy again. The time previous to last, my dentist insisted I use Listerine or an antiseptic mouth wash to get rid of the "bad bacteria" in my mouth, but in the past Listerine has done nothing for me except make me feel like I sucked on a peppermint stick. Not to mention in the last few years I've deliberately tried to avoid using antiseptic products that will kill good bacteria regardless of what they do to the bad, as it's been more acknowledged that we need a health level of bacteria in every part of our body, including mouth, to stay healthy. Using this oil for oral health has shown to be the most effective rinsing product I've ever used (including coconut oil, as well as just sesame oil alone). For some reason the exact mixture in this product produces the right effects.
Issues with taste:
Okay, so there's no cherry flavor to help gurgle the oil or make it more pleasant, but you get used to the smell after a few weeks so that it no longer assaults your senses. I'm used to wearing perfume and having lavender essential oil in my baths, so yeah, I'm a little spoiled when it comes to having a pleasant scent to accompany my products. Obviously, I strongly disliked the smell and taste of the oil at first, but I'm used to it now. Yes, it did take a couple of months for me to get used to it, and though I never thought I could ever say this, but it's really not that bad anymore.
Cleaning Out Your Nasal Passageways:
When using this product for the nasal passages you are supposed to use a drop or two in each nasal passageway (with your head tilted back) until the drops travel to the back of your throat. When they get to the back of your throat, you are suppose to spit out the oil. If you have a lot of dust and mucus in your sinuses and nasal passageways you will most likely have a very icky first time experience. I know I did, but it's kind of a right of passage (*hahahahahaha*) if you want to detox your system. Also, I cannot stress enough that you have to spit all of the Nasya oil that makes it through your sinuses to the back of your throat so none of it remains in your system- if you do not spit it out you risk reabsorbing the toxins the oil managed to pick up journeying through your nasal passageways.
*****TIP*****: If you can't seem to spit out all of the oil, try gurgling with warm water (it'll help break up the oil) or even a couple of drops to the oil, then brush your teeth (even if you brushed your teeth before gurgling). Also, before doing this routine, think about drinking a good amount of water so there is less of a chance that oil just sits in the back of your throat. Also, I will say this again as sometimes people forget after reading a paragraph, You should NOT swallow the oil. Even if you suffer from the slow and painful nasal drip that happens after rinsing your nose with anything, just bit the bullet and keep cough up the oil until it's all out. It's more than worth it-
Why Does Your Throat Tingle During/After Nasal Cleaning: If you did the proper technique to cleaning your nasal passageways and sinuses, and your throat still hurts after- it could be due to reasons unrelated to the oil (you could have been sick before and the symptoms started to show right after you started coughing up the oil), you may have an allergy to sesame oil, or using the Nasya oil triggered a detox thereby causing Herx Symptoms. Chronic Illness Recovery's online website is says that, "Herxing is believed to occur when injured or dead bacteria release their endotoxins into the blood and tissues faster than the body can comfortably handle it." [...]
Though Detoxing is always good for your body, the rate at which your body is detoxing should dictate how much or little you expose yourself to a certain practice. I would say if Nasya oil is causing your throat to ache and hurt, it probably means you have/had a lot of bad bacteria in your sinuses and nose which are dying/died at a rapid rate. Your best bet is to eat a low sugar diet (or eliminate sugar altogether) to avoid feeding the bacteria that is dying off, and perhaps introduce garlic and onion to give your body's immune system a boost. When your body starts to feel better you might want to try just swabbing the oil in your passageways instead of tilting your head back and allowing the oil to flow to your throat. Of course, ALWAYS consult your doctor for advice and let him know every symptom you are experiencing while using this oil as your reaction may be something other than a detox symptom or a sign that something more serious is happening (hopefully not).
It's hard to realize something so small can pollute so much of your body, but your nose, mouth, and throat are the routes used to deliver and filter oxygen, water, and food. You'd be surprised how much work they all do to get you the cleanest air, water, and nutrition possible. This oil makes it a little easier to support our body.
Normally I love this nasya oil; I find the smell relaxing, and the oil has helped my sinuses and dry-eye condition immensely. I live in super-dry Colorado, and I wish I'd known about nasya oil 20 years ago. A game-changer.
However, something is wrong with the most recent bottle I purchased. The expiration date says Oct 2025, but it smells way different, almost like the sesame oil is very old or has gone bad. The smell is not normal. I used it once and my sinuses got so inflamed overnight that I woke up only able to breathe through my mouth. Something is off with it. (It did arrive with the normal, unbroken plastic seal around the cap.)
It was not eligible for return or replacement, either. So, now I'm wondering if I should avoid buying this product via Amazon.
My nose is really crappy after living in Midwest for 8 years where weather conditions are suitable only for wild extincted animals, I kind of lost sense of smell and my nasal passages are always dry, blody and cracked. And my nose is pretty much stuffed in summer from the humidity. Anyways, I have tried it all you name it A and D, zink, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, shea butter, fkaxeed oil and something conventional that I do not even remember and do not want to remember. Nothing made it better and some made it worse.
Nasya feels like rich and gluee oil, I find that it has some unknown indian oils and eucaliptus and a very good oil for most skin types- sezamee oil. I dont know yet what systemic effect if has on me, but so far my nose is less swollen and less blody and less dry. I believe it will have some positive effects on nervous system after I use it for at least a month. So, I just love this Ayurvedic remedy and encourage others to try. By the way, I also use it on my nails ans cuticles and it makes them softer amd smoother. Just try.
And the interesting story how I was guided by Universe to find thia oil. I bought Ayurvedic cigarretes.I never smoked, but rearily feel that sense of smoking. On the package I saw that these cigaretes they are called Nirdosh by the way are made by Nasya recipie. So I believe they have some in common. I liked the cigarretesm not the smoke but the smell. Anyways its good.
