ShiroAbhyangaNasya – Treatment and Care for Your Sinuses


A great gift for your body this time of the year is a Shiroabhyanganasya or S.A.N. The S.A.N. is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that uses warm herbal oils for a thorough head, face, neck and shoulder massage followed by an herbal steam treatment to the head and sinus, a hot compress treatment to the face and chest and gentle herbal drops for the nasal passages. The SAN brings clarity to the mind and relieves tension and congestion. It has been known to relieve insomnia, stress and migraines. This is a great treatment for our dry climate.

We are in our cold, dry season this time of the year and moving into the damp season. This can leave our sinuses vulnerable. When the mucus layer in our nasal passages becomes dry and cracked, too thick or too thin and runny it cannot protect from the dust, pollen, bacteria and environmental irritants. We need to keep this thin layer of mucus that is one of our body's first lines of defense against disease functioning properly. By keeping the nasal passages cleansed with a salt water rinse and moistened with oils it can help ward off sinus problems, colds, allergies and post-nasal drip. It also counters the effect of environmental pollution. After having a Shiroabhyanganasya you will be instructed how to use a Neti pot (to rinse the nasal passages) and nasya oil for homecare to continue to keep the nasal passages moist, clean and healthy all year round.
