Administration of medicated oils through the nasal passage to address Vata imbalances affecting the head region and alleviate symptoms of vertigo.
c. **Greeva Basti (Neck Oil Pooling):**
Localized therapy involving a pool of warm medicated oil on the neck, providing nourishment to the cervical region and improving flexibility.
d. **Shirodhara (Oil Dripping on Forehead):**
A calming therapy to balance Vata dosha in the head, promoting mental relaxation and reducing symptoms of vertigo.
e. **Basti (Enema Therapy):**
Medicated enemas, particularly Anuvasana Basti, to nourish the nervous system, address Vata imbalances, and enhance overall well-being.
Dietary Recommendations
The doctors recommended a diet that pacifies Vata dosha, including warm and nourishing foods, herbal teas, and spices with anti-inflammatory properties.
