Abstract

Bahya Basti, a popular Ayurvedic practice of Panchakarma, is a therapeutic procedure that combines external oleation therapy and fomentation therapy known as "Sneha Yukta Sweda" (referred to as Bahya Snehana & Swedana Chikitsa). This technique involves applying comfortably warm medicated oil to a specific area using a specially crafted frame ring made from black gram powder. The process includes pouring heated herbal oil into a circular dough ring and allowing it to remain for a specific duration. Bahya Basti is highly effective in relieving muscle spasms, easing tightness, and promoting the strengthening of bone tissues in the localized region. It is commonly utilized in managing conditions like Greeva Shoola & Grah (Cervical Spondylosis), Kati-Trik-Pristha Shoola and Grah (Ankylosing Spondylitis) which are categorized under Nanatmaja Vata Vyadhi.
