Why Ayurveda for Pain?
Modern science now confirms what Ayurveda knew centuries ago:
✔ 90% of chronic pain stems from Ama (toxins) + Vata imbalance
✔ Temporary pain relief ≠ True healing
✔ Medicated oils penetrate 7 tissue layers (Dhatus) to repair damage
“Pain is your body’s cry for detoxification and nourishment.” – Dr. Divya S

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need to see results?
For acute pain, 5-7 daily sessions show significant improvement. Chronic conditions (arthritis, spondylitis) may require 10-15 sessions (3x/week). Maintenance therapy is recommended monthly.
Are these therapies safe for seniors/arthritis patients?
Absolutely! Our Basti therapies use natural medicated oils that:
- Reduce inflammation without side effects
- Improve joint lubrication
- Are safe even for osteoporosis patients (gentle pressure applied)
Can I combine these with other treatments?
Yes! For best results:
