Septal spur is a structural issue in the nasal septum, and while Ayurveda cannot remove the bony spur, it can help reduce symptoms like nasal blockage, headache, or sinusitis through treatments like:
Nasya therapy (medicated nasal drops)
Steam inhalation with herbs
Herbal medicines to reduce inflammation and improve breathing
However, if symptoms are severe, surgical correction (septoplasty) may be needed. Consult for personalized Ayurvedic support based on your condition.
Hello,
Thank you for your query. A septal spur is a structural issue in the nasal septum, and while Ayurveda can help manage symptoms like nasal congestion, headaches, or sinus issues related to it — the structural deviation itself may not be fully corrected without surgical intervention.
However, with the right Ayurvedic treatments like nasya, herbal formulations, and lifestyle corrections, we may be able to reduce discomfort and improve your breathing quality.
I’d recommend booking a consultation so I can understand your symptoms better and guide you with a personalized approach.
Warm regards,
Dr. Arisha

Yes, an internal **septal spur** (bony projection or deviation in nasal septum) can cause **nasal blockage, headache, sinus congestion, post-nasal drip**, and breathing issues. While surgery (septoplasty) is the allopathic solution, **Ayurveda offers non-surgical treatments** that can help **reduce symptoms**, improve **nasal airflow**, and support **better sinus drainage**.
