What is the Greeva Vasti procedure?
The Greeva Vasti procedure begins with a brief consultation to understand your health condition and dosha balance. A ring-like dam is then made using herbal dough and placed around the back of your neck (cervical region). Warm, medicated Ayurvedic oil is gently poured into this dam and retained for about 30 to 40 minutes. The warmth allows the oil to penetrate deep into the muscles and tissues, reducing stiffness, improving circulation, and nourishing the cervical spine. After the oil is removed, a mild massage may be performed, followed by a warm compress to enhance absorption and relief. The entire process is calming, non-invasive, and tailored to suit your body type and specific needs.
Can it help with headaches and migraines?
Definitely. If your headaches or migraines stem from neck tension or cervical issues, this treatment can significantly reduce their frequency and intensity by relaxing the underlying neck muscles and improving nerve function.
Is it suitable for cervical spondylosis?
Yes, Greeva Vasti is particularly effective for managing cervical spondylosis and related degenerative conditions. It helps reduce pressure on the spinal discs, eases nerve compression, and enhances overall neck mobility.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your health condition. For mild to moderate neck issues, 5 to 7 sessions are often enough. In more chronic or long-term cases, additional sessions may be suggested for lasting results.
How long does a session take?
Each Greeva Vasti session usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes. The duration might vary depending on the individual’s condition and the treatment plan recommended by the Ayurvedic doctor.
Is the treatment painful?
Not at all. Greeva Vasti is completely non-invasive and incredibly soothing. Most people describe it as a warm, comforting experience that leaves them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
How does Greeva Vasti help with neck pain?
This therapy works by allowing the warm herbal oils to deeply penetrate the neck tissues. It promotes blood circulation, loosens tight muscles, reduces inflammation, and nourishes the cervical vertebrae ,providing long-term relief from chronic pain without the use of chemicals or drugs.
