Kairali Ayurveda Anu Thailam (10 Ml) - Ayurvedic Nasya Oil For Sinus Relief

Because this is oil-based, there is a chance for it to go rancid after awhile -- but this brand does not do that. That speaks to the quality of the production process. Traditionally, the production process prevents rancidity but many brands take shortcuts. Anu Tailam is a wonder treatment. I have recommended this to friends over and over again. It clears built-up mucus in the sinus area, and even seems to aid memory function.

I started using this product after seeing a video by Nityanandam Shree on Anu oil. While he did not recommend a brand, I picked this one based on Amazon reviews. I am on my second bottle now. I have had great success with mucus build up in my nostrils. This product works better than Jal neti or Sutra neti for me. It breaks down mucus in areas jal neti is not able to. To prep for this, I warm up some sesame oil and massage my face with warm sesame oil. I wipe my face with a warm towel. This helps with loosening your sinuses and the mucus within. I lie on the floor, tilt my head back and pour 2 drops in each nostril. Snort deeply so that oil drops go back as far as possible into your nasal chambers. I lie there for about 4-5 min letting it soak in and get as far back as possible. I usually do this first thing in the morning. Nityanandam Shree advices that we do not do it on rainy days, so I avoid those times.

There is no protective seal of any kind. Agree with all the negative reviews. It’s a very tiny bottle to begin with. Just 10 ml and a LOT of oil will pour out as the hole is too large. Be prepared for some spillage. I expected half the bottle to be empty but I only received a 1/4 of the bottle as half of the producthad spilled expectedly so as it’s poorly designed and without any seal of any kind. I had purchased this at an Indian store for $2 and liked the ingredients. But getting this semi-rancid, leaking poor quality PLASTIC bottle for $7 is not worth it imo. YMMV.

I bought this to use as part of a nasal cleansing ritual called nasya, an Ayurvedic practice I read about in an effort to help cleanse my sinuses and brain from toxins. According to the practice you put a few drops in each nostril while tilting your head off the edge of the bed so oil can run into sinuses. I tried it for the first time this morning and can say that the oil smells amazing and refreshing and has a very soothing texture. It was also the ONLY OIL I found that did not contain sesame oil - all the others have a sesame base - and this was important to me because I have a sesame allergy. I also love that it contains a ton of different herbal elements (more than any other nasal oil I found) in the ingredients and is very well priced and arrived quickly. I’m eager to report progress!

Very good but too small

I use these before i go to sleep and it does sting for a few minutes -especially the first time, but i find this to be a very effective remedy. I am in California during the wildfires and there is a lot of smoke at times. Was reading about Aruveydic medicine and came across nasaya for nasal cleansing and a positive effect on the nervous system. this is a true herbal product - you can tell by the smell. My sinuses have cleared - yes, i sniffled for a few days. And i wouldn't recommend more than two drops in each nostril. it's too strong after that. after a few weeks, i now use one drop in each nostril. i ordered two more bottles and also sent some to each of my daughters.

The product is effective however the last few times the bottles arrived broken, hence the oil spilled. This is expensive, I don’t mind paying but if I have throw away some of the bottles.. it’s ridiculous. Kinda sad because I wish to continue using the product

It smells horrible. I followed the instructions, and had to rinse it out since it smelled like I’d buried my face in a spicy wet camel. The taste lingered, and nothing would get rid of it. The back of my throat burned, and no amount of gargling or beverage consumption helped. Woke up the next morning, and I’m pretty sure I can smell the future. My face is so empty that I almost hear an echo when I talk. I do rinses all the time, so the improvement isn’t from that at all. I think instead of squirting a couple of drops and breathing it in, I’ll swab it around with a cotton swab. It works, but I can’t run around with this taste in my mouth or smell stuck in my nose.

Bottle was half empty and not full as advertised

Great little oil, does what it needs to.

Has already helped alleviate my partner's morning mucus-fest. It alleviated his sinus pain, and cleared it up in a day or two. I use a tiny drop in each nostril daily, as recommended by ayurveda, to help keep the sinuses clear and to clear the head. It is part of an ancient self care system which really seems to work. I learnt of its use from Dr. David Frawley's book 'Ayurveda, nature's medicine' , which I bought here on Amazon. Highly recommended read if you are interested in self healing through diet and simple, naturla daily remedies

I can't give this more than one star as it didn't help at all, plus is really awful to use as it burns. Would not recommend for sinus issues.

I used it but as some people were saying, it did not gave me a burning feeling and that is why I am giving 4 star! if it gives burning feeling it means it works! but it is good and it makes loads of stuff to come out. it is very useful but it is not solving the problem 100% . you can use it in conjunction with other things you do for your sinus problems. it works.
