The word Greeva Basti is made from two Sanskrit words. Greeva means neck and nasty stands for container or retaining something inside. This is the kind of treatment in which medicated oil is poured and cooled for a fixed time. This is Ayurvedic neck care and hot oil therapy.
These days our lifestyles become workaholics and this involves continued and glue sitting in the same place. Which lacks body movements that cause the problem of the spine muscles and skeletal tissues of the neck and shoulder. This Ayurvedic Treatment addresses these issues effectively.
Ayurvedic therapies at Haritha are suited to a wide range of guests seeking natural, whole-person care. Your personal suitability is always confirmed during a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor before any therapy begins.
Our Ayurvedic doctor will review this during your consultation and personalise (or adjust) your therapy accordingly.
This treatment is identical to the Kati Basti treatment in which a dam is formed out of dough over the cervical region and filled with warm herbalized oil. There are some Best Greeva Basti centres in Rishikesh that started the session with a head massage. Because it will help to relax the muscle and reduce stress. Then for the dough, it is prepared out of black gram flour or whole wheat flour. Out of this dough four to five inches in diameter, a small ring is made. Then this ring is placed over the neck to cover all the vertebrae of the neck.
After that, for the treatment purpose, some lukewarm medicated oil or the decoction of herbs is slowly spewed into it. When this oil cooled down it replaces it with a more warm one. When the treatment come to end, the dough is removed and a gentle massage is given over the area.
This treatment takes about 30-45 minutes. But the duration of the course can vary from 7-14 days depending on the nature and intensity of the disease. It is also recommended to apply herbal steam over the neck region to help the oil further absorb into the tissues.
This treatment is highly beneficial for cervical spondylitis also known as neck arthritis. Which is a degenerative condition of the bones forming the neck. This treatment assists to treat whiplash which occurs when a person's head moves backward and then suddenly forward with great force. This whiplash can be caused by rear-end car collisions, sports injuries, horseback riding, cycling accidents, etc.
This treatment helps too, reduce the pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper limbs. Treats swelling and inflammation in the neck, shoulders, bones, and soft tissues of the neck. It helps to improve blood supply to the neck and upper limbs and strengthen the neck, shoulder, and arms. This treatment also helps to improve movements of the neck and upper limbs and enables them to move and work freely. This treatment also helps to address underlying conditions like compression fractures and frozen shoulders.
