Vasti

Greeva Vasti

It essentially involves holding herbal oils on the spine, starting from the neck. It operates through Sweda (sweating) and falls under the ‘Panchakarma’ strain of treatments.

Sweda is performed with the help of warmed medicated oil held in a container and placed at the spot of discomfort on the back of the neck. This helps to relieve affected areas.

Janu Vasti

Knee problems are the result of an imbalance in the ‘Vayu’ or wind in the area caused by the imbalance of ‘Vata’ dosha. Janu Vasti helps to counteract the cold and dry conditions created by the imbalance by Swedana and warm medicated oils.

Janu Vasti is a specialised Ayurvedic treatment that involves pooling medicated oil in compartments created around the knee joint or the site of inflammation or injury.
