Targeted Ayurvedic Oil Therapies (Basti)

Targeted Ayurvedic Oil Therapies (Basti) are deeply nourishing treatments focused on localised warmth and joint support, designed to ease stiffness, release tension, and restore comfort to specific areas of the body.

Discover the restorative benefits of these traditional Ayurvedic therapies — a series of targeted oil treatments that bring sustained warmth and nourishment directly to areas of physical discomfort or imbalance.

Using a traditional dough ring, warm herbal oils are gently retained over specific areas of the body such as the lower back, neck, shoulders, knees, abdomen, or heart centre. This allows the therapeutic oils to deeply penetrate the tissues and joints, helping to soften stiffness, ease tension, and support natural mobility and comfort.

Each Basti therapy is individually tailored to the area being treated, offering focused, grounding support that helps the body release strain and return to a more balanced, easeful state.

Many clients leave feeling deeply soothed, relaxed, and physically restored. ✨🌿

Treatment Information:

Targeted Ayurvedic Oil Therapies (Basti) are deeply nourishing treatments designed to support specific areas of the body using the warmth and healing properties of herbal Ayurvedic oils.

A specially prepared dough ring is gently placed over the affected area — such as the lower back, neck, knees, abdomen, or chest — and filled with warm herbal oils. The oils are retained for a period of time, allowing them to deeply penetrate the tissues, soothe stiffness, calm inflammation, lubricate the joints, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

These therapies may be especially supportive for muscular tension, joint discomfort, stiffness, fatigue, nervous system imbalance, and areas of long-held stress or weakness.

​​

A Calm & Supportive Environment:

Your treatment takes place in a peaceful, nurturing space designed to help you fully relax and unwind.

Only the area being treated will be exposed, with towels and coverings provided throughout to ensure warmth, comfort, and privacy.

Before your session, your therapist will take time to discuss your health history, current concerns, and wellbeing goals so the treatment can be tailored specifically to your needs.

​Before the Session:

To support the best experience, we recommend:

  • Avoiding heavy meals beforehand

  • Avoiding alcohol or excess caffeine before your session

  • Arriving a few minutes early to settle and relax

What to Bring:

You do not need to bring anything — everything required for your treatment is provided.

Fresh towels and coverings are available to ensure your comfort, warmth, and privacy throughout the session.

Shower facilities are available should you wish to freshen up after your treatment.

Beyond the Treatment:

Basti therapies work on a deeper level to nourish, strengthen, and restore balance within the body. Many clients experience reduced stiffness, improved mobility, deeper relaxation, and an increased sense of grounding and wellbeing after treatment.

For a more holistic approach, Basti treatments can also be combined with Ayurvedic Massage, Shirodhara, Marmapuncture, yoga therapy, or Ayurvedic lifestyle guidance.
