Greeva Basti: Ayurvedic Therapy for Neck Pain Relief at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we offer Greeva Basti, a specialized Panchakarma therapy designed to alleviate neck pain, stiffness, and cervical spine disorders. This therapeutic procedure involves creating a reservoir of warm, medicated oil around the neck area, allowing the skin and tissues to absorb its healing properties.

Benefits of Greeva Basti

Pain Relief: Provides significant relief from neck pain, stiffness, and headaches.
Reduces Inflammation: Alleviates inflammation and swelling in the cervical spine.
Nourishes and Strengthens: Fortifies the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck, enhancing their strength and flexibility.
Improves Circulation: Promotes better blood flow to the neck and head, accelerating healing and reducing stiffness.
Calms the Nervous System: The warmth of the oil and gentle massage help reduce stress and anxiety by soothing the nervous system.
Balances Vata Dosha: Helps pacify Vata dosha, often linked to neck pain and stiffness.

Indications for Greeva Basti

Greeva Basti is highly effective in managing:

Cervical Spondylosis: Degenerative changes in the cervical spine.
Neck Pain: Chronic or acute neck pain, stiffness, and associated headaches.
Cervical Radiculopathy: Pain, numbness, and tingling radiating down the arm.
Muscle Spasms: Tightness and spasms in the neck and shoulder regions.

Mode of Action

The therapeutic effects of Greeva Basti are achieved through:

Snehana (Oleation): Continuous application of warm, medicated oil penetrates deeply, nourishing the tissues.
Swedana (Sudation): Gentle heat from the oil and massage improves circulation, reduces stiffness, and relieves inflammation.
Vata Balancing: Pacifies aggravated Vata dosha, addressing the root cause of cervical discomfort.

Regimen During Treatment

Pre-Greeva Basti: A light meal is recommended before the session.
During Greeva Basti: Relax and enjoy the soothing warmth of the medicated oil.
Post-Greeva Basti: Take a short rest to maximize the treatment’s benefits. Avoid exposure to cold immediately after the session.
