Urovasthi Treatment center in Trivandrum

What is Urovasthi?

Urovasthi is a therapeutic Ayurvedic treatment where warm medicated oil is retained over the chest area using a boundary made from black gram dough. The term comes from “Uro” (chest) and “Vasthi” (retention). This localized therapy deeply nourishes and strengthens the heart and lungs, balances Vata and Kapha doshas, and is especially effective for respiratory disorders, chest congestion, and emotional imbalances such as anxiety and grief.

What are the indications?

Urovasthi is recommended for:

Asthma and bronchitis
Chronic cough and chest congestion
Respiratory weakness and breathlessness
Muscular chest pain or sternum stiffness
Palpitations and mild cardiac complaints
Anxiety, stress, and emotional imbalance
Post-COVID respiratory fatigue
Weak immunity or frequent colds
Mild costochondritis (as supportive therapy)

What is the Treatment Procedure?

The patient lies comfortably on their back.
A leak-proof reservoir is created over the chest using black gram dough.
Warm, medicated oil is gently poured into the reservoir and retained for 30 minutes.
The temperature of the oil is maintained throughout the session for therapeutic efficacy.
After draining the oil, the chest area is gently massaged, followed by warm fomentation if needed.
The therapy is generally done for 5–7 days or as advised by the Ayurvedic physician.
