Uro Basti / Hrid Basti Therapy in Sydney
A Traditional Ayurvedic Wellness Experience at Ayur Healthcare
At Ayur Healthcare in Sydney, we offer Uro Basti (also known as Hrid Basti) as part of our traditional Ayurvedic wellness services. This classical Ayurvedic therapy is a gentle, external treatment that focuses on the chest area, using warm herbal oils to promote relaxation and overall well-being.
What Is Uro Basti / Hrid Basti?
In Sanskrit, Hrid refers to the heart or chest region, and Basti means a container or retention.
Uro Basti is an external Ayurvedic therapy in which warm, medicated herbal oil is retained over the chest area using a specially prepared dough ring.
This therapy is traditionally valued in Ayurveda for its calming, grounding, and nurturing qualities, and is often chosen by individuals seeking deep relaxation and emotional balance.
How Is Uro Basti Performed?
Your session begins with a prior consultation and health assessment with one of our qualified Ayurvedic practitioners. This allows us to understand your individual constitution (Prakriti) and select appropriate oils in line with Ayurvedic principles.
During the therapy:
A soft dough ring made from black gram flour is placed over the chest area
Warm, herbalised oil is gently poured into the ring
The oil is retained at a comfortable, consistent temperature for a set period
The session may conclude with gentle localised cleansing or relaxation techniques, based on individual needs
