Uro Basti / Hrid Basti Therapy in Sydney – Ayur Healthcare

At Ayur Healthcare in Sydney, we offer Uro Basti (also known as Hrid Basti) as part of our traditional Ayurvedic wellness therapies. Rooted in classical Ayurvedic practices, this therapy focuses on the chest area, particularly over the heart region, using warm herbal oils for external application and nourishment.

What is Uro Basti / Hrid Basti?

In Sanskrit, ‘Hrid’ refers to the heart, and ‘Basti’ means a container or retention. Uro Basti is a soothing external therapy where warm, medicated herbal oils are gently pooled and retained over the chest region using a specially crafted dough ring. It is a calming experience designed to promote relaxation and overall well-being, especially for those feeling emotionally overwhelmed, fatigued, or stressed.

How is Uro Basti Performed?

The therapy begins with a brief consultation with one of our qualified Ayurvedic practitioners to determine your current state of balance and select suitable oils based on your body constitution (Prakriti). Once ready, a ring made of black gram dough is placed securely over the heart or chest area. Warm, medicated oil is then slowly poured into the enclosure and kept at a constant soothing temperature.

The oil is retained for a specific period, allowing the warmth to penetrate deeply. This is usually followed by a gentle localised massage or cleansing, depending on individual requirements.

What Are the Wellness Benefits?

Uro Basti is a nurturing therapy that offers a range of holistic wellness benefits, including:

• Promoting a deep sense of calm and emotional balance

• Supporting relaxation of the chest muscles and upper body

• Encouraging circulation in the chest region

• Assisting in stress and fatigue management

• Providing a grounding and centring effect, especially during emotionally challenging times

This therapy is often chosen by individuals who are feeling emotionally drained or mentally fatigued, or who are seeking gentle heart-centred nourishment.

When is Uro Basti Recommended?

Uro Basti may be offered as part of a wellness plan tailored to your constitution and lifestyle. It is generally recommended for those looking to relax, rebalance their energy, or explore Ayurvedic methods for emotional support and rejuvenation.

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Creation of dough ring placed on the chest

• Warm oil gently poured and retained within the ring

• Duration typically ranges between 30 to 45 minutes
