Ingredients
35 g organic sesame or olive oil, infused with ginger root
25 g plain organic ghee, infused with gotu kola (aerial parts)
15 drops eucalyptus essential oil
7 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
- Warm infused ghee over a gentle heat source until melted.
- Using a scale that displays up to two decimal places, weigh the infused oils into a glass jar or borosilicate lab beaker.
- Mix well and transfer to a glass 2-oz dropper bottle.
- Place the (sealed) dropper bottle into a mug of hot water for about 60 seconds to warm before using. ♥
Notes
I recommend glass containers for storing homemade lotions and potions. Glass doesn’t leach chemicals and it’s easier to clean/sterilize after the product is used up and you’re ready to refill.
If you do choose to use a plastic container, be aware that essential oils tend to react with plastic, so even if you can get it “clean,” your container will likely not be reusable.
Nasya is contraindicated during pregnancy or for those who have undergone nasal surgery. It shouldn’t be used in cases of chronic inflammation of the sinuses or sinusitis. It’s also not recommended for children under 7 or the elderly over 80.
