• Nasya (nasal therapy): Instillation of medicated oils or herbal preparations into the nostrils to relieve nasal congestion and inflammation, benefiting conditions like sinusitis.

• Dhoomapana (herbal smoke therapy): Inhaling medicated herbal smoke to open respiratory passages and ease breathing difficulties.

• Virechana (purgation): Eliminates toxins from the liver and gallbladder.

• Basti (medicated enema): Helps eliminate toxins through the feces.
