A deeply therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment designed for targeted pain relief and tissue nourishment.

External Bastis involve creating a secure, warm dough dam (traditionally from chickpea flour) over a specific area of the body, which is then gently filled with warm oil. This unique therapy allows the therapeutic properties of the oil to penetrate deeply into the tissues, muscles, and joints, offering profound relief and rejuvenation.

Common locations include Kati Basti (lower back), Griva Basti (neck & upper back), and Janu Basti (knees).

This treatment is exceptional for easing muscular pain, soothing nervous system imbalances, and providing focused nourishment and support to specific areas of concern.

Applied treatment time is 45 minutes, but please allow for 1.5 hours for the full session.
