What is Greeva Basti?

Greeva Basti Ayurvedic Neck Treatment at Herbal Hills Center Mumbai

Ayurvedic Hot Oil Bath for Neck Pain & Cervical Health

Greeva Basti is a classical Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed for the neck and cervical region. A specially prepared herbal dough ring (Basti) is placed around the neck, creating a well that is filled with warm, medicated oil. The oil is retained on the neck for a defined period, allowing its therapeutic properties to penetrate deeply into the cervical muscles, joints, and nerves.

According to Ayurveda, neck pain and stiffness are primarily caused by aggravated Vata dosha and poor tissue nourishment. The warmth and herbal properties of the retained oil improve blood circulation, relax tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and restore natural movement in the neck and shoulder area.

It is highly recommended for posture-related discomfort, cervical spondylosis, and long-term neck and shoulder stiffness.

The Greeva Basti Procedure

1
Ayurvedic Consultation

Our Ayurvedic doctor assesses your neck condition, pain severity, and dosha balance to select the appropriate medicated oil and customise the duration of the therapy.

2
Neck Oil Massage

The neck region is gently massaged with warm medicated oil to prepare the tissues, improve local circulation, and enhance absorption for the main procedure.

3
Dough Ring Placement

A ring made of black gram dough is carefully shaped and positioned around the neck to create a leak-proof well. The ring is checked for proper fit before oil is poured.

4
Warm Oil Retention

Duration: 45 minutes per session

Method: Warm medicated oil poured and retained in the dough well over the neck

Sensation: Deep, soothing warmth — deeply relaxing for most patients

Warm medicated oil is poured into the dough well. As the oil cools, it is replaced using cotton gauze and fresh warm oil — maintaining a steady therapeutic temperature throughout the session.

5
Removal & Post-Care

The dough ring is removed at the end of the procedure. The neck area is lightly massaged to enhance absorption. The doctor advises on aftercare, follow-up sessions, and any complementary therapies if needed.
