Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vasti used for?
Vasti is a localized Ayurvedic therapy used to relieve pain, inflammation, or degeneration in key weight-bearing joints—typically the lower back (Kati Vasti), neck (Greeva Vasti), or knees (Janu Vasti). It’s especially effective for conditions like sciatica, spondylosis, and arthritis.
How does the treatment work?
A small, dough-based dam is built on the affected area and filled with warm medicated oil. The oil slowly penetrates through the skin into the deeper tissues, easing stiffness, nourishing the joints, and promoting internal healing.
Is the oil customized?
Yes. The oil is selected based on your body type and condition—whether you’re dealing with inflammation, nerve compression, or degeneration. Our therapists choose the most appropriate formulation during your session.
How is the body prepared?
Before the Vasti is applied, we perform a full Abhyangam massage to stimulate circulation and open up the body, ensuring the oil penetrates effectively.
Who should consider Vasti?
Vasti is highly recommended for:
- Individuals with lower back pain, slipped disc, or lumbar spondylosis
- Patients suffering from neck stiffness or cervical issues
- Those with knee pain or arthritis-related discomfort
