WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Ayurvedic doctor's consultation first before booking a Hridaya Basti treatment?

We strongly recommend an Ayurvedic doctor’s consultation, which is essential if you have any heart, respiratory or significant medical condition. Our doctor decides if Hridaya Basti suits you and which oil to use.

Is Hridaya Basti a physical treatment or an emotional and energetic one?

Hridaya Basti works on both levels simultaneously. Physically, the warm oil over your chest relaxes the surrounding tissue. Ayurvedic practice also links the heart centre to your emotional wellbeing, which is why people often find Hridaya Basti calming and reflective.

Is Hridaya Basti safe for someone with an actual heart condition?

If you have a diagnosed or suspected heart condition, speak with your medical doctor first, then have our Ayurvedic doctor assess you before booking Hridaya Basti. Hridaya Basti does not substitute cardiology care, medication or emergency treatment.

Should I tell the therapist about my health history first?

Yes, inform us about any heart or respiratory conditions, blood pressure issues, surgery, implanted devices, pregnancy, medication, chest pain or other relevant history before your Hridaya Basti session.

What should I do beforehand?

Eat a light meal, arrive well hydrated and avoid perfume or strong scents. Bring a medication list or relevant medical information, and keep your schedule calm after your Hridaya Basti treatment.

Is one Hridaya Basti session enough, or does it need to be repeated?

A single Hridaya Basti session can leave you with a strong sense of relaxation. For ongoing emotional or physical issues, our Ayurvedic doctor may recommend a short series or pair Hridaya Basti with Abhyanga and other supportive care.
