Basti Treatments for Musculoskeletal Support
Basti treatments are a unique and therapeutic approach to musculoskeletal disorders, focusing on the spinal and joint system to restore fluidity, free movement, and comfort. These disorders involve the muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, vertebrae, and nerves, often resulting in pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility.
Using special medicated oils, warmed to a specific temperature, and retained over affected areas with a dough “well” made of black lentil flour, this technique helps relieve pain and discomfort while promoting the healing of muscles, tendons, and nerves.
Common conditions addressed include:
• Lower back pain
• Realigned lower back pain
• Sciatica
• Cervical pain
• Frozen shoulder
• Thoracic discomfort
• Knee and wrist problems
• Whiplash
• Scoliosis

Pre-Treatment Consultation
Before beginning your Ayurvedic treatment, you will be asked a series of questions regarding your physical and mental well-being. This helps us understand your unique constitution, any imbalances you may be experiencing, and how the treatment might affect you. The information shared will also guide us in selecting the most suitable therapies for your needs.
This brief consultation ensures that your treatment is personalized and safe, promoting a deeper connection to your body and mind. For liability reasons, it is important to disclose any pre-existing health conditions or concerns, as certain treatments may not be appropriate depending on your current health status.
Pre-Care Instructions
• Avoid heavy meals 1-2 hours before treatment.
• Stay hydrated but limit fluid intake immediately prior.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
• Inform your practitioner about any existing health conditions or concerns.
Post-Treatment Care
To allow your body to fully absorb the benefits of the treatment, it is recommended to take time to rest and relax afterward. The oils used during your session work deeply with your body, and leaving them on the skin for 6-12 hours will maximize their therapeutic effects.
For your comfort, please bring loose clothing that you don’t mind getting oily, as the medicated oils may leave residue on your clothing. After the recommended time, you can wash off the oils with a warm shower to cleanse and refresh your skin.
• Rest for a few hours after the treatment to allow the body to integrate the effects.
• Avoid heavy physical activity, cold environments, or stress for the remainder of the day.
• Drink warm water or herbal teas to aid detoxification.
• Follow any personalized recommendations given by your practitioner.
Taking time to rest and avoid strenuous activities after your treatment enhances the healing process and allows the oils to continue nourishing your body.
