Pranashakti – Ghrita Nasya

Pranashakti Nasya is an Ayurvedic nasal therapy designed to balance and enhance the vital life force—or prana—in the body. This practice involves the careful administration of a medicated Ghee into the nostrils, and it’s considered a key component of Panchakarma, the traditional Ayurvedic cleansing and rejuvenation process.

How It Works
Balancing Prana: By introducing a carefully formulated herbal Ghee into the nasal passages, Pranashakti Nasya helps stimulate the flow of prana. This can support mental clarity, improve concentration, and balance emotions.

Detoxification: The nasal passages are closely connected to the brain’s detox pathways. Administering the Ghee can help lubricate and cleanse these channels, potentially relieving headaches, sinus congestion, and even reducing stress.

Holistic Benefits: In addition to enhancing cognitive function and emotional balance, this therapy may support respiratory health and overall well-being.

Typical Usage
Preparation: The Ghee is gently warmed (using warm water, not hot) to enhance its efficacy.

Application: Usually administered on an empty stomach, 1–2 drops are applied into each nostril while lying down with the head slightly tilted back. Deep inhalation helps the oil penetrate the sinus cavities.

Post-Treatment: It’s recommended to avoid cold exposure and heavy physical activity immediately after application to allow the treatment to work effectively.

Who Might Benefit
Individuals seeking improved mental clarity and focus
Those experiencing stress, anxiety, or emotional imbalance
Anyone looking to support overall respiratory and sinus health as part of a broader Ayurvedic regimen

This therapy is contraindicated during pregnancy, menstruation, or when the stomach is full, so it’s important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before beginning treatment.
