Hanu-Basti (Jaw Therapy)
Hanu-Basti (Jaw Therapy): A Holistic Solution for Jaw Pain at Ayur Healthcare
At Ayur Healthcare in Sydney, we blend ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern wellness practices to offer unique therapies that promote holistic healing. One such specialised treatment is Hanu-Basti, a traditional Ayurvedic therapy focused on relieving tension and discomfort in the jaw area. This gentle yet powerful therapy addresses jaw pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and facial tension by harnessing the healing properties of warm, medicated oils.
What Is Hanu-Basti?
In Ayurveda, the jaw is known as "Hanu," while "Basti" refers to the process of holding therapeutic substances in a specific area. Hanu-Basti is designed to calm the aggravated Vata dosha, which is responsible for movement, nerve function, and stress. When Vata becomes imbalanced, it can lead to stiffness, pain, and restricted mobility in the jaw. Hanu-Basti offers relief by using warm herbal oils that soothe the nerves, relax the muscles, and enhance circulation.
Benefits of Hanu-Basti at Ayur Healthcare
Relieves Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders
Jaw pain and TMJ disorders can be debilitating, affecting daily activities like chewing and speaking. Hanu-Basti targets the root cause of these issues by relaxing tense muscles, alleviating pain, and improving jaw flexibility.Reduces Bruxism and Jaw Clenching
Stress and anxiety often manifest as teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching. The soothing warmth of the oil helps release tension, providing long-term relief from these stress-induced habits.Improves Circulation and Facial Vitality
The therapy promotes enhanced blood flow to the facial tissues, nourishing the skin and giving your face a healthy, radiant glow. This improved circulation also supports better mobility in the jaw.Calms the Nervous System
By balancing Vata, Hanu-Basti provides a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting a deep sense of relaxation. This makes it particularly effective for those who experience anxiety-related jaw issues.Supports Nerve Health
Hanu-Basti is beneficial for conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, a condition marked by severe facial nerve pain. The therapy soothes irritated nerves, offering natural relief without the need for invasive treatments.
How Hanu-Basti is Performed at Ayur Healthcare
Initial Ayurvedic Consultation
At Ayur Healthcare, we begin with a personalised consultation to assess your specific needs and determine the best course of treatment.Preparation of the Dough Ring
A soft dough made from black gram or wheat flour is shaped into a ring and placed around the jaw area to form a reservoir. This ensures the oil stays in place during the therapy.Application of Warm Medicated Oil
Warm, herbal-infused oil is gently poured into the dough reservoir, bathing the jaw in soothing warmth. The oil is retained for 20–30 minutes, allowing deep penetration into the tissues.Gentle Massage
After the oil is removed, a relaxing facial massage is performed to enhance the therapeutic effects and promote relaxation.Post-Treatment Guidance
We provide aftercare advice, including lifestyle and dietary recommendations, to help maintain the benefits of the therapy.
