Nasal Congestion Treatment – Clear Your Breathing Naturally at Ayura

What’s Nasal Congestion ( Ayurvedic View) 

In Ayurveda, nasal congestion is frequently connected to an imbalance in Kapha dosha( which causes heaviness and mucus) and Vata dosha( which causes blankness or blockage), occasionally mixed with Pitta when there’s inflammation. Also, buildup of poisons( Ama) or weak digestion may beget mucus and swelling inside the nasal passages or sinuses. 

When Kapha increases, it makes mucus thick, cold, and sticky; Vata imbalance can reduce circulation and cause dryness or irritation. Ayurveda uses therapies that address both Kapha and Vata imbalance, reducing excess mucus, calming inflammation, improving digestion to prevent more mucus, and balancing the doshas.

Common Causes of Nasal Congestion

Some usual triggers that lead to nasal congestion include 

• Allergies( dust, pollen, incense, pollution) 
• Common cold or viral infections 
• Sinusitis( inflamed sinuses) 
• Cold weather, damp air, or air-conditioned apartments 
• Poor diet( cold, heavy, oily, dairy foods) 
• Weak digestion or eating veritably late 
• Exposure to banks, dust, or strong odors 
• Stress, sleeping in a bad posture

Here is what people with nasal congestion generally feel 

• Blocked or stuffy nose, frequently worse on one side 
• Thick or coloured mucus discharge 
• Difficulty breathing through the nose, especially at night
• Head heaviness, pressure around cheeks, forehead, or between eyes

Ayurvedic Treatment for Nasal Congestion at Ayura 

At Ayura, Ayurveda Hospital in Abu Dhabi, we design a treatment plan based on how long you’ve had congestion, what your body type( Prakriti) is, and what triggers you. Our curatives include: 

1. Nasya or Nasya Therapy 

Nasya is a classic Ayurvedic system, where medicated oils or herbal maquillages are administered through the nostrils. This cleanses, lubricates, and strengthens the nasal passages. It helps to remove inordinate Kapha, open blocked channels, reduce inflammation, and improve breathing. 

Different types 

• Shodhana Nasya( sanctification) for heavy congestion & sinus issues. 
• Shamana Nasya( milder) as a conservation. 

2. Herbal Remedies & Oral Medicines 

Using herbs that help reduce mucus, fight infection, and soothe inflammation 

• Tulsi( Holy Basil): Anti-inflammatory, helps with nasal congestion relief. 
• Gusto & Garlic: Warm sauces that help thin mucus & ameliorate rotation. 
• Turmeric( Haridra): Strong anti-inflammatory and helps reduce swelling in sinuses or nasal passages. 
• Trikatu admixture: ( black pepper, long pepper, gusto) to warm the body, boost digestion, and clear chest & nasal blockage. 

3. Steam Inhalation & External curatives 

• Inhaling steam with herbal canvases ( eucalyptus, mint) helps loosen mucus and reduce lumps. 
• Gentle oil massage above the nose, on the forehead, and sinus areas to relieve pressure. 
• Nasal oil drops( Anu taila, etc.) to slick dried nasal passages. 

4. Diet & Lifestyle adaptations 

Healing nasal congestion isn’t just external. Ayurveda stresses internal health, too 

• Eat warm, cooked foods; avoid cold, heavy, oily meals. 
• Drink warm fluids: herbal teas( gusto, tulsi), warm water. 
• Avoid dairy, cold drinks, and fried foods if they increase mucus. 
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated; avoid sleeping flat on your back. 
• Keep nasal passages clean; avoid dusty or polluted air. 
• Manage stress, get sufficient sleep. 

5. Panchakarma & Detox( if demanded) 

For chronic, recurring nasal congestion, more thorough detox therapies:
