Greeva Basti – Ayurvedic Neck Pain & Cervical Spondylosis Treatment in Bangalore
Greeva Basti (also known as Greeva Vasti) is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy for chronic neck pain, stiffness, and cervical spondylosis. At Yuvrit Ayurveda, warm medicated oil is pooled on the back of the neck within a herbal dough dam.
This gentle but powerful therapy reduces nerve compression, nourishes cervical discs, and relieves stiffness, offering natural solutions for conditions like cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, and tech-neck caused by long hours at a desk.
Who Can Benefit from Greeva Basti
Greeva Vasti is highly recommended for people suffering from neck-related conditions. You may benefit if you experience:
- Cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis) – Greeva Basti provides natural relief in degeneration-related neck pain and stiffness.
- Neck pain & stiffness – Effective for those with poor posture, long desk hours, or “tech-neck."
- Frozen shoulder & radiating pain – Helps with nerve compression that causes pain or tingling in shoulders and arms.
- Postural problems & whiplash injuries – Restores mobility and reduces strain in the cervical spine.
- Stress-related neck tension & fatigue – Relaxes tight neck muscles and eases headaches caused by stress.
Greeva Basti Procedure – How Is It Done?
At Yuvrit Ayurveda, the Greeva Basti therapy is performed with care to maximize results:
Preparation Stage
A ring made of black gram dough is placed over the cervical area to form a sealed reservoir. Warm, medicated oil (like Mahanarayana, Ksheerabala, or Vishagarbha taila) is gently poured into the well.
Main Procedure
The oil is retained over the neck for 20–30 minutes, maintaining its warmth throughout. The gentle heat and medicinal properties of the oil penetrate deep into the tissues, relieving stiffness and improving joint function.
Post-Therapy Care & Recovery
After removing the oil and dough, a light massage and mild steam may be given to enhance absorption. The individual is advised to rest and avoid exposure to cold. A light, nourishing meal may be taken post-session.
Health Benefits of Greeva Vasti
Greeva Vasti supports both short-term relief and long-term cervical spine health. Benefits include:
- Eases Nerve Compression (Radiating Pain): Relieves pressure on nerves, reducing radiating pain in arms.
- Relieves Neck Pain & Stiffness: Provides natural neck pain remedy by softening stiff muscles.

Who Should Avoid Greeva Vasti? (Contraindications)

- Recent neck surgery – Avoid unless approved after doctor consultation.
