Effective Ayurvedic Therapy for Neck Pain, Stiffness, and Mobility at Ayurherbs Clinic in Melbourne
What is Greeva Vasti?
Greeva Vasti, derived from “Greeva” (neck) and “Vasti” (to hold), is an Ayurvedic treatment that uses warm medicated oil retained over the cervical area. This therapy is designed to target pain, stiffness, and mobility issues in the neck while promoting tissue healing and stress relief.
The warmth of the medicated oil penetrates deeply into the tissues, delivering therapeutic benefits to the cervical spine and muscles. Greeva Vasti is particularly effective as part of Panchakarma, Ayurveda’s detoxification and rejuvenation program.

Here’s what to expect during a Greeva Vasti session at Ayurherbs Clinic:
