At Om Mantra Health & Wellness Center, we are dedicated to offering holistic solutions for your well-being, and our Ayurvedic Greeva Basti therapy is no exception. Greeva Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment that focuses on rejuvenating and relieving ailments related to the neck and cervical region.
Greeva Basti is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that involves creating a reservoir (Basti) on the neck (Greeva) using a specially prepared herbal oil or decoction. This therapy is renowned for its ability to provide relief from neck pain, stiffness, and various neck-related issues.
During a Greeva Basti session, a well-constructed dam (made from dough) is created on the neck, and warm herbal oil or decoction is gently poured into it. The oil is retained within the dam for a specific duration, allowing the therapeutic properties to penetrate deeply into the neck tissues.
There are different types of Greeva Basti treatments within Ayurveda, and the specific type used can depend on an individual's needs and the recommendations of an Ayurvedic practitioner
Kati-Greeva Bast: This treatment combines both the neck (Greeva) and lower back (Kati) regions. It is often recommended for individuals dealing with both neck and lower back issues. Warm herbal oil is poured into the reservoirs created on these areas.
Snehana Greeva Basti: In this type of Greeva Basti, specifically formulated herbal oils are used for the treatment. Snehana refers to oleation or oil-based therapies, and it aims to lubricate and nourish the neck tissues.
Kashaya Greeva Basti: Instead of herbal oil, a warm herbal decoction (kashaya) is used in this type of treatment. The herbal decoction is carefully selected based on the individual's condition and dosha imbalances.
Upanaha Greeva Basti: Upanaha refers to poultices, and in this type of Greeva Basti, a warm herbal paste or poultice is applied to the neck region and retained within the dam. This variation provides a different approach to the therapy.
Prishta Greeva Basti: This type of treatment involves applying herbal oil or decoction to the back of the neck and upper back region, providing relief and nourishment to these areas.
Shiro Greeva Basti: In Shiro Greeva Basti, the therapy extends to the head (Shiro), where warm herbal oil or decoction is applied to the neck and head region, offering a more comprehensive approach to relaxation and relief.
