Vasti Therapies (Oil Pooling)
Healing Pools of Warmth and Vitality
“Let warm, herb-infused oils collect and flow over targeted areas, melting away stiffness, soothing tension, and restoring harmony from within.”
Vasti therapies—Kati Vasti (lower back), Janu Vasti (knees), Uro Vasti (chest), and Griva Vasti (neck)—are specialized Ayurvedic oil-pooling treatments designed to deeply nourish joints, muscles, and tissues. Medicated herbal oils, chosen according to your dosha, are gently poured into a carefully formed herbal dough boundary over the affected area, allowing the oils to penetrate deeply and stimulate healing.
At Samaya Waters, each session begins with a consultation to select the optimal herbal oil for your constitution. The warm oil nourishes muscles, ligaments, and joints, reduces inflammation, relieves chronic pain, and pacifies aggravated Vata. The gentle, sustained heat improves circulation, strengthens connective tissues, and promotes flexibility, while harmonizing subtle energy channels (srotas).
The session concludes with a warm cleansing and a moment of stillness, leaving the treated area rejuvenated, the body relaxed, and the spirit revitalized—a profound experience of targeted relief and holistic restoration.
