Kati Basti
know more
An Ayurvedic treatment called kati basti includes applying warm medicinal oil or herbal concoctions to the lower back. “Basti” means to hold or maintain, while “kati” refers to the lower back.
In a Kati Basti session, the therapist uses a black gramme or wheat flour dough to make a small well or dam. The lower back is covered with this dough to form a structure like a container. The warm herbal oil or the appropriate herbal concoction for the person’s condition is then poured into the well.
The heating oil or herbal decoction is left in the well for a predetermined amount of time, typically between 20 and 30 minutes. The oil permeates the tissues during this period, nourishing, lubricating, and benefiting the lower back area therapeutically.
Lower back, hip, and sacral pain and stiffness are frequently relieved with kati basti. It supports tissue healing by promoting improved circulation, muscle relaxation, reducing inflammation, and muscle tension. It is frequently advised for ailments like sciatica, herniated discs, lower back pain, muscular spasms, and stiffness in the lumbar area.
Along with its physical advantages, Kati Basti has a relaxing impact on the nervous system and can foster feelings of extreme relaxation and well-being.
Note that a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner or therapist should do Kati Basti so that they can evaluate your unique condition and tailor the treatment accordingly. Based on your particular requirements, they will choose the best herbal oils or concoctions, and they’ll make sure the therapy is carried out in a safe and efficient manner.
Greeva Basti
know more
Greeva Basti is another Ayurvedic therapy that focuses on the neck and upper back region. The term “greeva” refers to the neck, and “basti” means retaining or holding.
During a Greeva Basti session, a well or dam is created on the back of the neck using a dough made from black gram or wheat flour. The dough is molded to form a structure that holds warm medicated oil or herbal decoction within it.
The warm oil or decoction is poured into the well and allowed to remain in contact with the neck and upper back for a specific duration, usually around 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the therapeutic properties of the oil or decoction to penetrate the tissues, providing nourishment, lubrication, and healing benefits to the neck region.
Greeva Basti is commonly used to address various neck-related issues, such as neck pain, stiffness, muscle tension, cervical spondylosis, and nerve impingements. The therapy helps to improve circulation, relax the muscles, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort in the neck and upper back area.
Similar to other Ayurvedic therapies, Greeva Basti not only focuses on physical benefits but also aims to balance the energy flow and promote overall well-being.
As with any Ayurvedic therapy, it is crucial to receive Greeva Basti from a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or therapist who can assess your condition and customize the treatment accordingly. They will select the appropriate herbal oils or decoctions based on your specific needs and ensure the therapy is performed safely and effectively.
Jaanu Basti
know more
Jaanu Basti is an Ayurvedic therapy that specifically targets the knee joint. The term “jaanu” refers to the knee, and “basti” means retaining or holding.
During a Jaanu Basti session, a well or dam is created around the knee joint using a dough made from black gram or wheat flour. The dough is molded to form a structure that holds warm medicated oil or herbal decoction within it.
The warm oil or decoction is poured into the well and allowed to remain in contact with the knee joint for a specific duration, typically around 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the therapeutic properties of the oil or decoction to penetrate the knee joint, providing nourishment, lubrication, and healing benefits.
Jaanu Basti is commonly used to address knee-related issues, such as knee pain, stiffness, swelling, inflammation, and arthritis. The therapy helps to improve joint mobility, reduce pain and inflammation, strengthen the knee structure, and promote the overall health of the knee joint.
This Ayurvedic therapy can be beneficial for individuals with knee discomfort due to various reasons, including age-related wear and tear, injuries, or chronic conditions. However, it’s important to note that Jaanu Basti should be performed by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or therapist who can assess your specific condition and customize the treatment accordingly. They will select the appropriate herbal oils or decoctions based on your individual needs and ensure the therapy is conducted safely and effectively.
Netra Basti
know more
An Ayurvedic treatment called Netra Basti concentrates on the eyes. The words “netra” and “basti” both relate to the eyes. “Basti” also means to hold or keep.
Using a dough produced from black gramme or wheat flour, a tiny well or dam is constructed around the eyes during a Netra Basti session. To create a framework that will hold heated medicinal ghee (clarified butter), the dough is carefully shaped around the eyes.
Warm ghee is poured into the well and left there for a predetermined amount of time, usually between 15 and 30 minutes. This enables the ghee’s healing qualities to nourish, lubricate, and rejuvenate the eyes by penetrating them.
Netra Basti is frequently used to treat a range of eye-related conditions and support eye health. It can aid in easing discomfort brought on by extended screen time or external factors such as dryness, inflammation, redness, and eye strain. The therapy also seeks to bolster eye muscles, enhance vision, and nourish the sensitive eye tissues.
Netra Basti is thought to provide psychological advantages as well as physical ones. It is thought to quiet the nervous system and encourage relaxation and well-being.
Netra Basti should only be administered by a licenced Ayurvedic practitioner or therapist who can evaluate your unique eye condition and tailor the Netra Basti treatment accordingly. Based on your particular demands, they will choose the best medicated ghee and make sure the therapy is carried out in a secure and efficient manner.
