Greeva Vasti is a specialized and highly therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment that focuses on the cervical region—the neck and upper back. In this therapy, warm medicated oils are poured and carefully pooled over the neck using a custom-made herbal dough chamber crafted from wet black gram flour. This process allows the oils to deeply penetrate muscles, ligaments, and joints, providing targeted relief from pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Greeva Vasti not only alleviates chronic neck and shoulder discomfort but also enhances circulation, nourishes tissues, and restores mobility to the upper body. Beyond its physical benefits, the therapy promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and balances the body’s energies, contributing to overall wellness. Ideal for individuals experiencing tension from long hours of work, poor posture, or age-related stiffness, Greeva Vasti is a holistic approach to revitalizing the neck, shoulders, and upper limbs, leaving the body and mind rejuvenated and balanced.
