Organic Nasya Oil – Herbal Nasal Drops for Clear Breathing – Ayurvedic Nose Moisturizer & Sinus Lubricant for Dryness & Travel – 1 oz – USDA Organic, Chemical-Free

Every time I use this product before bed I wake up feeling great the next morning. It is not a good taste and not fun to do, but it's only 3 minutes of my life in return for a healthier body and happier mood. I used to have terrible allergies, but this seems to have really helped keep them at bay. Updated July 25, 2016: Overall Use & Effectiveness: After a few months of using this product, I'm still waking up satisfied. I started using the oil as an oral rinse (oil puller), make up remover and face moisturizer, and ear drops when my ears feel achy. In a world where our healthy bacteria levels are taken for granted and we feel a compulsion to use antibacterial products everyday, this oil is a perfect replacement for so many harsh health products. Gum Line Improvement: Last month I started to use this product as an oral rinse (oil pulling when I have time) when waking up. I've seen major improvements in my gum line in just one month. I went to see my dentist a week ago and he said two gums that had started to recede beyond my gum line have stopped receding and the gum line appears to be very healthy again. The time previous to last, my dentist insisted I use Listerine or an antiseptic mouth wash to get rid of the "bad bacteria" in my mouth, but in the past Listerine has done nothing for me except make me feel like I sucked on a peppermint stick. Not to mention in the last few years I've deliberately tried to avoid using antiseptic products that will kill good bacteria regardless of what they do to the bad, as it's been more acknowledged that we need a health level of bacteria in every part of our body, including mouth, to stay healthy. Using this oil for oral health has shown to be the most effective rinsing product I've ever used (including coconut oil, as well as just sesame oil alone). For some reason the exact mixture in this product produces the right effects. Issues with taste: Okay, so there's no cherry flavor to help gurgle the oil or make it more pleasant, but you get used to the smell after a few weeks so that it no longer assaults your senses. I'm used to wearing perfume and having lavender essential oil in my baths, so yeah, I'm a little spoiled when it comes to having a pleasant scent to accompany my products. Obviously, I strongly disliked the smell and taste of the oil at first, but I'm used to it now. Yes, it did take a couple of months for me to get used to it, and though I never thought I could ever say this, but it's really not that bad anymore. Cleaning Out Your Nasal Passageways: When using this product for the nasal passages you are supposed to use a drop or two in each nasal passageway (with your head tilted back) until the drops travel to the back of your throat. When they get to the back of your throat, you are suppose to spit out the oil. If you have a lot of dust and mucus in your sinuses and nasal passageways you will most likely have a very icky first time experience. I know I did, but it's kind of a right of passage (*hahahahahaha*) if you want to detox your system. Also, I cannot stress enough that you have to spit all of the Nasya oil that makes it through your sinuses to the back of your throat so none of it remains in your system- if you do not spit it out you risk reabsorbing the toxins the oil managed to pick up journeying through your nasal passageways. *****TIP*****: If you can't seem to spit out all of the oil, try gurgling with warm water (it'll help break up the oil) or even a couple of drops to the oil, then brush your teeth (even if you brushed your teeth before gurgling). Also, before doing this routine, think about drinking a good amount of water so there is less of a chance that oil just sits in the back of your throat. Also, I will say this again as sometimes people forget after reading a paragraph, You should NOT swallow the oil. Even if you suffer from the slow and painful nasal drip that happens after rinsing your nose with anything, just bit the bullet and keep cough up the oil until it's all out. It's more than worth it- Why Does Your Throat Tingle During/After Nasal Cleaning: If you did the proper technique to cleaning your nasal passageways and sinuses, and your throat still hurts after- it could be due to reasons unrelated to the oil (you could have been sick before and the symptoms started to show right after you started coughing up the oil), you may have an allergy to sesame oil, or using the Nasya oil triggered a detox thereby causing Herx Symptoms. Chronic Illness Recovery's online website is says that, "Herxing is believed to occur when injured or dead bacteria release their endotoxins into the blood and tissues faster than the body can comfortably handle it." [...] Though Detoxing is always good for your body, the rate at which your body is detoxing should dictate how much or little you expose yourself to a certain practice. I would say if Nasya oil is causing your throat to ache and hurt, it probably means you have/had a lot of bad bacteria in your sinuses and nose which are dying/died at a rapid rate. Your best bet is to eat a low sugar diet (or eliminate sugar altogether) to avoid feeding the bacteria that is dying off, and perhaps introduce garlic and onion to give your body's immune system a boost. When your body starts to feel better you might want to try just swabbing the oil in your passageways instead of tilting your head back and allowing the oil to flow to your throat. Of course, ALWAYS consult your doctor for advice and let him know every symptom you are experiencing while using this oil as your reaction may be something other than a detox symptom or a sign that something more serious is happening (hopefully not). It's hard to realize something so small can pollute so much of your body, but your nose, mouth, and throat are the routes used to deliver and filter oxygen, water, and food. You'd be surprised how much work they all do to get you the cleanest air, water, and nutrition possible. This oil makes it a little easier to support our body.

I suffer from sleep apnea and night time allergies, waking multiple times per night. This nasal oil opens up my airways with the vapors and keeps my sinuses moisturized. My wife says the smell is stronger than previous sinus oils we've used, but not bad as far as I am concerned. I would recommend this product, the quality is good and it does what it says. I am definitely sleeping better when I remember to use it.

I have been using this for several years now. Nasya Oil is wonderful to use to keep your sinuses healthy especially in the winter when the air is dry.

UPDATE: I bought a new bottle to replace the iffy one. Lo and behold, it smells like rancid sawdust too, and it had an immediate inflammatory effect on my sinuses when I tried even a tiny amount. The expiration date on this one is also Oct 2025. It is not eligible for refund or replacement. I will contact Banyan to let them know this batch was off, but I think I'll just make my own nasya oil from now on (sesame oil). Normally I love this nasya oil; I find the smell relaxing, and the oil has helped my sinuses and dry-eye condition immensely. I live in super-dry Colorado, and I wish I'd known about nasya oil 20 years ago. A game-changer. However, something is wrong with the most recent bottle I purchased. The expiration date says Oct 2025, but it smells way different, almost like the sesame oil is very old or has gone bad. The smell is not normal. I used it once and my sinuses got so inflamed overnight that I woke up only able to breathe through my mouth. Something is off with it. (It did arrive with the normal, unbroken plastic seal around the cap.) It was not eligible for return or replacement, either. So, now I'm wondering if I should avoid buying this product via Amazon.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I recently started some medications that cause sinus inflammation, congestion etc. As a result of the sinus inflammation my nose started to bleed (pretty sure some capillaries broke) and now I have a plethora of hard, painful scabs in my nose...sorry if that’s too much info but it’s my life right now 😝 I have been using a neti pot but that only gives temporary relief because as soon as the water dries up in my nose, the scabs are painful again. I tried several oils we had at home...I even stuck coconut oil up there (I was pretty desperate 😂) Hubby remembered this oil and I am SO HAPPY I gave it a shot. I used it an hour ago and my scabs are still soft...no longer dry, uncomfortable, pulling on hairs every time I move my nose and no more pain and watery eyes if I accidentally bump my nose. Seriously, I am in love with this oil! Pros: -Moisturizing is long lasting -Affordable -Safe & Organic ingredients -MY SCABS ARE SOFT! Cons: -It’s awkward to use (but it’s the nose, so I really don’t think there’s any way for it to be NON awkward) -There’s an odd smell to it...not unpleasant exactly but also not pleasant

للامانه ساعدني في التنفس بشكل سليم ، اقطر منه في الليل وفي الصباح النتيجة ممتازه بالنسبه لنظافة الانف والتنفس ،، شكرا لكم

chi soffre di rinite cronica come me sa di che cosa parlo! una sofferenza continua, soprattutto di notte... questo olio mi fa respirare tranquilla tutta la notte senza mai soffiarmi il naso nemmeno una volta. eliminati per sempre tutti i vari spray e gocce che fanno più male che bene costa un po' ma dura molto

My partner is a very heavy snorer due to chronic sinus issues and a deviated septum. This oil, used along with a nasal strip, absolutely works! He doesn’t care for the smell of it much but the effect far outweighs that. He can now go the full night without snoring but will sometimes start again in the morning as the oil is drying out. Its not a huge issue though because it’s usually around the time the alarm is going off anyway. It’s made a huge difference and I can finally get a decent sleep again. As does he. Wee bit expensive for the size of the bottle but definitely works.

Excellent product

I have been using it for years, i cannot live without, it makes me breathe easily day and night even with some drops only in the evening. Super!
