Description

Griva Basti is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to treat and rejuvenate the cervical spine and neck region. In this treatment, a dam made of herbal dough is constructed around the neck (Griva), and lukewarm medicated oil is gently poured and retained within it for a specific duration. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae, promoting healing and strength.

Procedure Steps:

• Gentle Abhyanga (massage) on the upper back and neck
• Preparation of a sealed ring made with herbal dough on the neck
• Pouring of warm, medicated Ayurvedic oil into the ring
• Retention for 20–30 minutes followed by light massage and fomentation

✨ Benefits:

• Alleviates chronic neck pain, stiffness, and cervical spondylosis
• Strengthens the neck muscles and vertebrae
• Improves mobility and flexibility of the cervical spine
• Reduces inflammation, nerve compression, and tension
• Nourishes spinal tissues and balances Vata dosha

Griva Basti is ideal for individuals experiencing tech neck, poor posture, or recovering from whiplash and cervical degeneration. It’s often recommended as part of a musculoskeletal or spine-care program in Ayurveda.
