The Hrid (Chest) Basti Ring is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy implement used by practitioners to perform Hrid Basti — a classical Panchakarma treatment in which warm medicated oil is pooled over the heart region (Hridaya) within a flour-dough boundary ring. This localised oleation treatment is traditionally valued for its deeply nourishing, calming effect on the cardiac region and the Prana Vayu (vital life force), and is used in classical practice to support heart health, emotional wellbeing, and general Ojas (vitality).

How to Use (Hrid Basti)
Prepare the flour-dough ring or place the basti frame over the cardiac region on the client lying supine. Pour warm medicated oil (typically Dhanwantharam Thailam, Bala Thailam, or another Vata-pacifying Thailam as directed by the treating practitioner) into the ring to fill the reservoir. Maintain oil warmth throughout the treatment (20–40 minutes). Remove the oil carefully. The treatment is traditionally followed by a brief rest and light Abhyanga. For use by qualified Ayurvedic therapists only.
