Shirovasti, Urovasti and Kativasti

Shirovasti, Urovasti and Kativasti are not full-fledged Vasti treatments but are named so because they require medicated herbal concoctions to stay on the patient over an extended period of time. The oils are poured into a container which is then placed on the affected area. Each of these three therapies treats a different set of ailments.

Shirovasti is for the treatment of ear issues and Vata-based damage to the cranial nerves. For this, a leather sleeve placed on the shaven head of the patient is fixed in place with kneaded dough, and oil is poured continuously into it.

Urovasti treats ailments in the Uras or chest region of the patient. A gap is made in the sternum area where the medicated oil is left on for a while to relieve pain.

Kativasti is given to patients with lower back pain. Oil mixed with black gram dough is placed on the patient for an extended duration.
