Hridya Vasti
The Ayurvedic Therapy for Stress, Anxiety, Heart Diseases such as Angina, and Related Conditions
Hridya Vasti is an Ayurvedic therapy focused on the heart region. It involves placing a dough ring on the chest over the heart area and filling it with warm, medicated oil. This therapy aims to balance the doshas, particularly Vata, and Pitta, in the heart region, thereby promoting cardiovascular health and emotional well-being.

Precautions to be taken before, during, and after the therapy
Before Hridya Vasti, it is essential to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to assess your heart health and determine the appropriate medicated oil. During the therapy, it is important to remain relaxed and avoid sudden movements that could disrupt the oil’s placement. After the therapy, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous physical activities, consume light and warm foods, and stay away from cold environments to allow the heart region to absorb the therapy’s benefits fully.
