Vasti is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment where a medicated dough ring is placed on specific body areas, filled with warm herbal oil to penetrate deeply and provide relief. The therapy is named according to the area treated: Janu Vasti for the knees, Greeva Vasti for the neck, Uro Vasti for the chest, and Kati Vasti for the lower back. Each type of Vasti targets specific concerns, such as joint pain, muscle stiffness, or inflammation, to promote healing and relaxation.
