Merudanda Basti

What Is Merudanda Basti?

Merudanda Basti is a traditional Ayurvedic Panchkarma therapy specially designed for the spine (Merudanda means “spinal column” in Sanskrit). In this treatment, warm medicated oil is gently retained in a herbal dough ring placed along the spinal column.

The warmth and healing properties of the oil penetrate deeply into the muscles, nerves, and joints, helping to relieve stiffness, nourish the spine, and balance aggravated Vata dosha. This therapy is highly effective for back pain, slipped disc, sciatica, and overall spinal rejuvenation.
