According to Ayurveda, putting cow’s ghee in your nostrils is the simplest yet most effective detox therapy available in nature that can do wonders for your immunity, sleeplessness, and mental health.
In Ayurveda, it is stated that the nose is the gateway to the brain, or “Nasa Hi Shirso Dwaram”. It aids with all disorders of the head, mouth, teeth, ears, nose, and eyes, as well as general health.
This Ayurvedic technique of placing ghee from cows in the nostrils is called Nasya, and it is one of the five types of panchakarma therapies that can prevent a variety of respiratory disorders, allergies, chronic cough, rhinitis, etc.
Nasya is considered the most effective ayurvedic treatment for all supraclavicular (above shoulder) conditions.
