Greeva is a Sanskrit term which means neck while Basti means to retain. Greeva Basti is an ancient treatment that successfully addresses chronic and acute neck conditions. In today’s time, there are many factors - such as sedentary lifestyle where physical activity is very less and a person spends almost his entire day sitting in front of computer screens - that lead to neck pain and related painful conditions. For such people, Greeva Basti is an effective ayurveda treatment benefiting them with long-term benefits.
In this soothing neck therapy, a large quantity of herbal oils is retained on the neck of the patient. Through this therapy, his muscles, ligaments and tendons absorb the warm medicated oils. As a result, the patient experiences relaxation in the neck area and also receives healing in any underlying conditions. This eventually brings him relief in inflammation, occasional pain and stiffness around the neck area. In addition to this the whole body gets de-stressed with this amazing therapy.
