In a normal Greevavasti treatment in Dubai, the patient is supposed to lay on his or her tummy on a massage table, and a headrest is used most of the time. A dough ring is prepared out of black gram flour or whole wheat flour depending upon the regional preferences, and the dough is shaped in a manner to fit nicely around the neck so that the therapeutic oil does not spill. This dough ring creates a wall that holds warm, medicated oil or herbal decoction that is poured over it, thus improving the result of the treatment. It is important to note that prior to the treatment, general consultation is made and the different diseases the patient is suffering from is determined. The oil used in medication is usually medicated and the herbs used are selected to suit the needs of the individual to increase the healing powers of the oil. The warm oil not only takes the immediate pain off the ring but it seeps down to the tissues helping in detoxification and providing an overall relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The heat provided by the oil promotes the flow of blood to the affected areas hence improving the entire healing process.
