This glorious therapy is known as “Hrudaya Basti.” Hrudaya which means heart and Basti meaning herbal oils or decoctions used in Ayurveda. “The heart” is a very important organ of the body. It is what keeps your blood flowing and your organs going. It is a tireless muscle that pumps more than two thousand gallons of blood every day. The blood that is pumped is filled with rich requirements. It travels throughout your body in less than sixty seconds. So it needs to be taken extra good care of. The blood pumped by the heart provides your body with the oxygen and nutrients. It also carries away waste. Your heart is sort of like a pump or two pumps in one. The right side of your heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The arteries and veins are the pipes through which the blood flows. The lungs provide a place to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The heart is a hollow, muscular organ, which functions as a pump for the movement of blood through the body. Your heart is a very important muscle in your body. It is constantly working, yet it never gets tired. Sometimes people get heart disease that can’t be avoided.

  2. What is Hrudaya Basti? The word hridaya means “heart” that receives the deoxygenated blood and as an outcome delivers the oxygenated blood to all the organs of the body while Basti means “to hold the herbal decoction or medicated oil on the focused area i.e over hridaya.” Hence the procedure of holding the medicated oil over the hridaya (cardiac region) is designated as hridya basti. It is also designated as the uro basti as it is present in uro pradesh i.e chest region. Hridaya basti is just similar to all the other basti’s of panchakarma as discussed earlier but in this therapy a little bit more attention is required because the heart is a very significant organ as in Ayurveda it is baptized as the site of prana. Procedure: The patient would be made to lie on the treatment table, on his back and is instructed to close his/her eyes and start concentrating on the inhalation and exhalation of the air. A leak-proof mould, made up of black Gram dough, is fixed over the heart region, of the chest surface. A lukewarm herbal medicated oil prescribed by the Ayurvedic doctor is slowly poured into that mould and let stay. The temperature is maintained by replacing the oil in the mould with warm oil at intervals. After the procedure, the mould is removed and the chest region is massaged gently for the better absorption of the medicine. The treatment duration varies from person to person. This treatment provides relief from pain in the chest region, strengthens chest muscles and pacifies Vata Dosha. It also helps to remove the negative emotions such as unresolved anger, frustration and sadness.
