Our neck is responsible for head movements and the flow of blood to the brain. It helps in holding the head up which assists proper and easy breathing.
Due to modern day lifestyle and other reasons we often experience neck pains. The reasons for neck pain may include constantly sitting in one position, sudden jerks during traveling, uncomfortable sleeping positions.
Common neck pain can be cured by massage, stretching, applying heat or taking painkillers. But prolonged neck pains can be very serious.
Greeva basti is one such method used in Ayurveda to relieve neck pains. This is basically a hot oil therapy.
