A Traditional Ayurvedic Nasal Oil of Sesame, Gotu Kola & Eucalyptus
Nasya Oil is a nourishing nasal oil made for Nasya, the Ayurvedic practice of oiling the nostrils. Sesame and sunflower oils are infused with gotu kola, fennel, sweet flag and skullcap, and finished with eucalyptus and a trace of Himalayan rock salt.
The Herbs
Nasya Oil brings together three groups of ingredients traditionally used for the nose. Nourishing oils moisturise the nasal lining and help form a fine protective layer. Aromatic ingredients support healthy mucus balance and comfortable airflow. Soothing herbs comfort delicate tissues. Together they make an oil for clear, comfortable breathing through dry air, pollen and seasonal change.
To Nourish
Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum): Valued in Ayurveda for its warming, grounding qualities, and long used to nourish dry, delicate tissues.
Sunflower Oil (Helianthus annuus): Rich in essential fatty acids, used to moisturise, soften and protect the delicate lining of the nose.
To Clear
Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Eucalyptus smithii): Traditionally valued for encouraging clear, comfortable breathing.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare): Traditionally used to support healthy mucus balance and comfortable airflow through the nose.
Himalayan Rock Salt: A traditional mineral that supports moisture balance and comfortable nasal passages.
To Soothe
Sweet Flag Root (Acorus calamus): Traditionally used to comfort delicate nasal tissues and keep the nasal lining well lubricated.
Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora): Traditionally used to soothe delicate upper respiratory tissues through seasonal challenges.
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): A traditional tonic that supports healthy local circulation and a refreshing sense of clarity.
Why a Nasal Oil?
Where a saline rinse washes the nose, a herbal nasal oil nourishes it. Nasya Oil moisturises the nasal lining and helps form a fine protective layer that holds in moisture and helps keep airborne particles away from the tissues.
