Ayurvedic Basti therapies: deep healing through oil retention
Reclaim your vitality and find your center with traditional
Ayurvedic treatments designed for modern life.
What is Basti
What is Basti? Traditionally, the word Basti refers to «retention» or «holding.» In these specialized Ayurvedic treatments, a reservoir made of organic dough (black gram flour) is placed over specific areas of the body. This reservoir is then filled with warm, herb-infused medicated oils. The continuous warmth and the medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the skin, muscles, and bones, providing relief where standard massage cannot reach.
A deeply restorative ritual that melts tension, warms the body,
and invites lasting comfort and stability.
