Similar to Kati Basti, Griva Basti involves applying heat to the cervical area by maintaining warm treated oil within a specially established frame. This treatment is recommended for individuals experiencing discomfort and painful conditions in the cervical area, such as cervical spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, disc prolapse, ankylosing spondylitis, and neck arthritis. The prescription of herbal oil for the therapy is akin to that of Kati Basti. Additionally, to enhance the effectiveness of Griva Basti, it is followed by Nadi Swedana for 15 minutes, which applies a jet of herbalized vapor to the cervical area, aiding in the deeper penetration of the oil into the muscular cells.
To enhance the impact of the Griva Basti treatment, it is complemented by a 15-minute session of Nadi Swedana. This technique involves exposing the cervical area to herbal steam, aiding in the penetration of oil deeper into the muscle tissues.
