Hridaya Basti

Hridaya Basti, or Uro Basti, is a traditional Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy focused on nourishing and supporting the heart region. This therapy involves creating a dam of dough around the heart area (chest) and filling it with warm medicated herbal oil. The oil is retained for up to 30 min, replacing as needed, allowing deep penetration into the tissues to provide therapeutic benefits to the heart and surrounding areas.

Benefits include:

• Strengthens the heart muscles and improves cardiovascular function, supporting mild palpitations or stress and anxiety symptoms that affect the heart health.
• Helps balance Vata and Pitta doshas in the heart region
• Improves circulation and energy flow through the chest
• Balances Anahata Chakra (heart energy center), supporting emotional wellbeing to promote compassion and love.
• Offers solace and helps to melt layers of grief, agitation, and emotional contraction stored in the heart.

Precautions: Not recommended for individuals with severe heart conditions, recent heart surgery, pacemakers, or during pregnancy. A thorough consultation is required before this treatment.
