Ayurvedic Treatment for Back Pain – Pristha Basti Therapy

Pristha Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy for back pain. In this treatment, warm, medicated oil is held over the upper or middle back to help reduce pain and stiffness and nourish the spine.

Pristha Basti is a Sanskrit term comprised of two words: Pristha (Spinal Cord) and Basti (Oil Retaining). It is an Ayurvedic treatment for back pain, involves using warm medicated oils to relieve stiffness, reduce pain, and restore spinal health naturally. In order to enhance the function of the nervous system and strengthen back muscles, Ayurveda has recommended this treatment.

 

Procudure :-

1) Gently massage the whole back with the recommended warm medicinal oil.
2) On top of the spinal cord, from the neck to the lumbar region, a chamber made of black gram dough is constructed. The dough ring needs to be positioned so that it surrounds the whole spine.
3) Check the temperature and pour the warm oil into the compartment after making sure the ring is leak-proof.
4) Once that has cooled, cotton gauze is used to press it out, and the process is repeated. The oil’s temperature needs to be held steady throughout the procedure.
5) The ring is taken off at the conclusion of the procedure, and you can massage the affected region lightly afterward.
