If you only come to us for basti treatment, we will lay the guest in the correct position on the heated treatment bed and place the pasta wall. There is a possibility for 2 body parts in 90 minutes if the therapist can reach them in a lying position (e.g. knees). Untreated body parts are thoroughly covered. During the treatment, the healing sounds we are used to play and stress-relieving scents accompany the process. We avoid bright lights in order to ensure a meditative state, when you can focus your attention on the treated area, thereby also giving energy and attention to your “number”. At the end of the procedure, the body area is massaged to help the dissolved ama (substances not digested by cells) to be emptied, and to provide caring and corrective movements to the stiff joints that have been dissolved. This type of therapy is most effective 3 times in a row, but a significant improvement in pain relief can be seen even on the first occasion. At the end, we apply steam therapy or a warm steam bath.
