The practice
The Gokarna is the classical brass vessel for Nasya Karma, the application of warm medicated oil through the nasal passages. The large size warms a greater volume of oil in a single session, suited to Marsha Nasya and extended Snehana work in the clinic.
How it is used
- Stand the Gokarna in a bowl of warm water and let the medicated oil reach a comfortable, lukewarm temperature.
- Test the oil on the back of the hand before use.
- With the head tilted gently back, place the prescribed drops into each nostril, or pour from the spout into a dropper.
- Ask the recipient to rest and breathe steadily for a moment, then sit up slowly.
- Wipe the spout, rinse the vessel and dry it after use.
Material & care
- Wash with mild soap and warm water after each use, then dry completely.
- Brass develops a natural patina over time; this is normal and does not affect use.
- To restore the bright finish, polish gently with lemon and salt, then rinse and dry.
