Greeva Basti: An Ayurvedic Therapy for Neck and Cervical Wellness

Greeva Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment focused on alleviating pain and discomfort in the neck and cervical spine region. The term "Greeva" refers to the neck, and "Basti" signifies retaining or holding.

In this therapy, a circular dam made of black gram or wheat flour dough is carefully placed on the back of the neck, encompassing the cervical vertebrae. Warm, medicated herbal oil is then gently poured into this reservoir and held for a specific duration, typically 30 minutes. The localized warmth and the potent properties of the oil deeply penetrate the tissues, working to reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and nourish the cervical spine and surrounding structures.

Benefits in:

Greeva Basti is highly effective for conditions such as cervical spondylosis, chronic neck pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, pinched nerves, and even certain types of headaches.

It helps to improve flexibility, enhance blood circulation, and strengthen the neck muscles, offering significant relief and promoting overall neck and spinal health.
