New Arrivals from Art of Vedas

Neti is the Ayurvedic practice of rinsing the nasal passages with warm saline water, one of the Shat Kriyas (six purification techniques) described in the classical Hatha Yoga and Ayurvedic texts. The Neti Pot is the vessel designed specifically for this practice, and copper is the traditional material of choice.

This is a pure copper Neti Pot, shaped for a comfortable, controlled flow of saline water through one nostril and out the other. The spout fits snugly against the nostril opening to form a seal without pressure. The handle gives you steady control of the angle and flow rate. The capacity is sized for a full nasal rinse one fill per side.

Copper has been used for water vessels in Ayurveda for centuries. The classical texts describe copper as naturally purifying, and the material carries inherent antimicrobial properties that have been well documented. A copper Neti Pot does not just hold the water it contributes to the quality of the rinse itself. This is why copper remains the preferred material for Jala Neti among practitioners, even though plastic and ceramic alternatives exist.

If you already practise Nasya (nasal oil application) with Anu Thailam or Shadbindu Thailam, Jala Neti is the complementary practice. The classical sequence is to rinse first with the Neti Pot, then follow with Nasya oil, clearing the passages before nourishing them. Together, they form the complete Ayurvedic nasal care routine.

A pure copper water bottle for Ushapana and everyday hydration. Fill it with water, leave it for 6 to 8 hours, and drink, this is one of the oldest and simplest practices in Ayurveda.

Storing water in copper overnight is known as Tamra Jal. The classical Ayurvedic texts describe Tamra (copper) as naturally purifying and balancing for all three doshas. This is not a new wellness trend, copper vessels have been used across Indian households and Ayurvedic clinics for centuries, and the practice of copper-stored water has been part of Dinacharya (the Ayurvedic daily routine) for as long as it has been recorded.

This bottle holds 950ML, which is enough for your full Ushapana practice in the morning and a refill during the day. The sealed lid makes it leakproof and practical for travel, work, or keeping at your bedside. Unlike the copper glass, which stays at home, this bottle goes with you.

It is crafted from solid, food-grade pure copper, unlined and uncoated, so the water has full contact with the copper surface. The shape is designed for comfortable handling, and the wide mouth makes it easy to fill, pour, and clean.

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is a treasured Ayurvedic herb known for its calming, memory-enhancing, and nervous system-supporting properties. Revered in classical texts for its ability to sharpen intellect and support concentration, Brahmi is used widely in formulas for brain and emotional wellness.

Kaisora Guggulu is a classical Ayurvedic formulation known for its Rasayana (rejuvenative) and Ama-pachana (detoxifying) properties. It is traditionally used to support healthy joints, skin clarity, and metabolic function by clearing deep-seated toxins (Ama) and balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Widely used in long-term wellness routines, it is especially helpful in conditions of chronic inflammation or skin imbalance.

A rich, warming oil pressed from organic castor seeds. In Ayurveda it’s used for external snehana (oleation) to pacify Vata dryness, condition the scalp and hair, and soften rough areas like heels, elbows, and cuticles. Ideal for home Abhyanga or as a booster mixed with lighter oils.

How to use

• Hair & scalp: Warm a few teaspoons, massage into scalp and lengths. Leave 30–60 min (or overnight), then shampoo well.

• Body/feet: Massage a small amount into dry areas; for easier spread, blend 1:1 with Art of Vedas Sesame or Coconut Oil.

• Brows & lashes: Touch a clean spoolie to 1 drop and comb through at night (avoid getting into eyes).

• Castor pack (external): Soak a cotton/flannel pad in warm oil, place on area (e.g., abdomen/lower back), cover with cloth and a mild warm compress for 20–30 min. Remove and cleanse skin.

Chandraprabha Vati is a time-honored Ayurvedic formulation traditionally used to support the health of the urinary system, metabolism, and reproductive organs. It is known for its deep-cleansing, rejuvenating, and balancing properties on Vata and Kapha doshas. The formulation is especially valued in managing Mutravaha srotas (urinary tract) health and maintaining fluid and sugar balance.

Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) is one of the most highly respected herbs in Ayurveda, known as the “king of medicines” (Abhaya). Its actions span digestive health, Vata balancing, and Rasayana (rejuvenation). Traditionally used to promote regularity and tone the digestive system, it is ideal for long-term use.

Triphala Vati is a classical Ayurvedic tablet made from the synergistic blend of Triphala and other digestive herbs. It is traditionally used to support gut cleansing, promote healthy metabolism, and regulate bowel function. The formulation gently balances Pitta and Kapha, especially in the digestive tract, without aggravating Vata.

Avipattikar Choornam is a traditional Ayurvedic formulation used to balance excess Pitta and support digestive comfort. It is a blend of cooling, carminative, and mildly laxative herbs that work together to reduce acid build-up, ease burning sensations, and support regular elimination without irritation.

The Hrid Basti Yantra is a professional-grade instrument designed for Hrid Basti (also known as Uro Basti or Hridaya Basti), a localised oil-retention therapy applied over the sternum and heart region. Rooted in the classical Bahya Snehana (external oleation) principles described in the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridayam, Hrid Basti is one of the most valued localised therapies in Panchakarma practice — addressing the Hridaya, which Ayurveda regards as one of the three Trimarma (vital points of the body).

In this traditional Ayurvedic treatment, the practitioner positions the Yantra over the sternum of the supine-lying client, seals the perimeter with a ring of Masha (urad dal) flour paste, and retains warm medicated oil or ghee within the reservoir. The sustained warmth and herbal properties of the medium nourish the Hridaya Marma region, offering a deeply calming and restorative experience traditionally associated with the care of Prana Vayu, Sadhaka Pitta, and Avalambaka Kapha.

This set includes one Hrid Basti Yantra with an oval profile, ergonomically shaped to conform to the sternal and upper thoracic contour.

Care and Cleaning

After each session, remove all flour paste residue and rinse the Yantra with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Sanitise with isopropyl alcohol or a clinical-grade surface disinfectant. Allow to air dry completely before storing. Inspect regularly for any damage or rough edges that could cause discomfort during treatment.

What’s in the Set

• 1 × Hrid Basti Yantra
• Oval profile designed for the sternal and upper thoracic region
• Material: Durable, reusable clinical-grade construction
• Oil capacity: Approximately 200–300 ml

Classical Reference

Hridaya Marma — Sushruta Samhita (Sharira Sthana Ch. 6 — Marma classification). Bahya Snehana principles — Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana Ch. 13 — Snehadhyaya), Sushruta Samhita (Chikitsasthana Ch. 24 — Snehopayogika), Ashtanga Hridayam (Sutrasthana Ch. 16 — Snehavidhi). Localised Basti therapy practice refined within the Kerala Ashtavaidya Panchakarma tradition.

How it Works

The Hrid Basti Yantra acts as a structural frame for the dough-dam reservoir. The practitioner places the Yantra over the client’s sternum — centred on the mid-chest, slightly to the left to align with the Hridaya Marma point — while the client lies in a supine (face-up) position. A ring of Masha (urad dal) flour paste is applied around the outer perimeter to create a watertight seal against the skin. Warm medicated oil or ghee is then poured through the open top until it fills the reservoir and covers the treatment area.

The medium is maintained at a consistent warm temperature throughout the session by periodically removing cooled oil with a cotton swab or syringe and replacing it with freshly warmed oil or ghee. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment protocol and the practitioner’s clinical assessment.

Why a Professional Basti Yantra?

Traditionally, the reservoir for localised Basti therapies is constructed entirely from Masha flour dough, shaped and moulded around the treatment area by the practitioner. While effective, this method requires skill to maintain structural integrity over the full duration of a session — particularly on the relatively flat but subtly curved surface of the chest.

The Hrid Basti Yantra offers a practical, professional alternative. Its oval profile is ergonomically shaped to conform to the sternal contour, providing consistent structure throughout the treatment. The practitioner still uses flour paste to seal the instrument to the client’s skin, combining the reliability of a reusable clinical tool with the traditional sealing method that ensures a proper fit for every body type.

Advantages for practitioners:

• Structural consistency — no risk of the reservoir collapsing or deforming during longer sessions
• Standardised volume — ensures even coverage of the Hridaya region across treatments
• Significantly reduced preparation time compared to full dough-dam construction
• Easy to clean and reuse between clients
• Oval profile designed specifically for the sternal and upper thoracic area

The Classical Medium: Medicated Oils and Ghee

Hrid Basti can use both medicated Thailams (oils) and medicated Ghritham (ghee) as the therapeutic medium — selected by the treating practitioner based on the client’s presentation, Dosha involvement, and treatment goals. This versatility distinguishes it from Netra Tarpana (ghee only) and Greeva Basti (oils only).

Commonly used medicated oils:

• Dhanwantharam Thailam — the primary classical choice for Vata-dominant presentations; deeply nourishing and warming
• Ksheerabala Thailam — traditionally valued for its Brimhana (nourishing) and nervine properties; balances both Vata and Pitta
• Balaswagandhadhi Thailam — traditionally valued for its Balya (strengthening) and Brimhana properties; supports tissue nourishment
• Chandanadi Thailam — a cooling Thailam, classically indicated where Pitta involvement predominates

Commonly used medicated ghee:

• Brahmi Ghritham — traditionally associated with calming the mind and supporting Sadhaka Pitta; often selected for emotionally centred treatment protocols
• Dhanwantharam Ghritham — the ghee-based counterpart of Dhanwantharam Thailam; deeply nourishing

Plain cow’s ghee (Goghrita) may be used for general nourishment and preventive care. The practitioner selects the medium based on the classical principles of Snehana and the client’s individual constitution.

Suggested Procedure Overview

Preparation (Purva Karma):

Ensure a calm, warm, draft-free treatment space with subdued lighting. Apply a brief local Abhyanga (oil massage) to the chest and upper thoracic region to prepare the tissue. Warm the selected medicated oil or ghee to a comfortable temperature (approximately 38–42°C) using a double-boiler or oil warmer — never heat directly over flame. Prepare a sufficient quantity of Masha (urad dal) flour paste for sealing. Position the client in a comfortable supine position.

During the session (Pradhana Karma):

Place the Hrid Basti Yantra over the sternum, centred on the Hridaya Marma region. Seal the outer perimeter with flour paste, ensuring a watertight boundary. Pour warm medicated oil or ghee through the open top until it covers the treatment area. Maintain the temperature throughout the session by periodically exchanging cooled medium for freshly warmed oil or ghee. Typical treatment duration is 30 to 45 minutes. A standard course consists of 7 to 14 consecutive daily sessions, as determined by the treating practitioner.

After the session (Paschat Karma):

Drain the oil or ghee carefully. Remove the Yantra and flour paste. Gently wipe any excess and perform a light local massage. A mild Swedana (warm fomentation) may be applied to the area. Advise the client to rest in a calm environment and avoid cold drafts, physical exertion, and emotional stress for several hours following treatment. Classical texts recommend post-care precautions for twice the duration of the treatment itself (Dwiguna Parihara Kala).

This is a professional Ayurvedic therapy instrument intended for use by trained practitioners. Hrid Basti should be performed by or under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. This product is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for chest or cardiac concerns.

The Netra Basti Yantra is a professional-grade acrylic instrument designed for Netra Tarpana (also known as Netra Basti), one of the five classical Kriyakalpa procedures described in the Sushruta Samhita and Ashtanga Hridayam.

In this traditional Ayurvedic eye therapy, lukewarm medicated ghee is gently retained over the eyes while the client lies supine. The ghee nourishes and soothes the delicate eye area, offering a deeply calming and restorative experience rooted in thousands of years of Ayurvedic practice.

This set includes a pair of transparent acrylic Yantras, one for each eye.

The large Gokarna is the same classical brass vessel, built for higher-volume Nasya Karma. Same traditional design — wide mouth, tapered spout, pedestal base cast in solid brass with the capacity to warm a larger quantity of oil in a single session.

Where the small Gokarna is sized for daily personal Nasya two to three drops per nostril, one session at a time the large vessel accommodates Marsha Nasya and extended Snehana protocols where more oil is required. It is also the practical choice for practitioners administering Nasya to multiple clients in sequence, where warming a larger reserve of oil saves preparation time between sessions.

The brass holds warmth evenly and for longer. The additional weight keeps the vessel stable on a Dhara table or treatment surface. The spout pours with the same control as the small precise enough for a dropper, steady enough for a direct pour.

The Gokarna is the classical brass vessel used in Ayurveda for Nasya Karma, warming and administering medicated oil through the nasal passages. Hand-cast in solid brass, shaped to the traditional design: a wide mouth for gentle warming in a water bath, a tapered spout for controlled pouring into a dropper or to the fingertip, and a pedestal base that holds the vessel stable and upright.

Brass holds warmth evenly, and the size is proportioned for a single Nasya session. Place the Gokarna in hot water, allow the oil to reach body temperature, and apply. Whether you use Anu Thailam daily as part of your Dinacharya or Shadbindu Thailam for more focused care, this is how the practice is traditionally performed not improvised, not approximated.

For Ayurveda practitioners and Panchakarma centres, this is a clinical-grade Nasya vessel suited to Pratimarsha and Snehana Nasya protocols. Stable on a Dhara table, easy to sanitise between clients, built for daily professional use.

Sudhabala Thailam is one of Ayurveda's gentlest yet most effective therapeutic oils, referenced in the classical text Sahasrayogam. This beautifully pure formulation features Bala (Sida cordifolia), the renowned "strength-giving" herb, prepared in a nourishing sesame oil base.

The name reveals its essence: Sudha means "pure" or "gentle," while Bala means "strength." This elegant two-ingredient formula delivers the profound benefits of Bala in its purest form, mild enough for daily use by nearly everyone, including during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Traditionally valued for supporting the nervous system, promoting muscle strength and addressing general weakness, Sudhabala Thailam embodies the Ayurvedic principle that the simplest formulations are often the most powerful.

Narayana Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic formulation referenced in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali for neuromuscular and joint support. This potent oil combines the complete Dashamoola (ten roots), dual-strength Ashwagandha and Punarnava, along with traditional nervine herbs like Bala and Shatavari in a nourishing sesame oil base.

Named after Lord Narayana (Vishnu), this oil has been traditionally used for centuries to support muscle strength, joint comfort and nervous system balance. The warming, deeply penetrating formula is ideal for Abhyanga massage and is particularly valued in Ayurveda for supporting those experiencing weakness, stiffness or general Vata imbalance.

Triphaladi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic Moordhataila (head oil) documented in Sahasrayogam, formulated with the legendary Triphala trio of Amalaki, Haritaki and Bibhitaki at its foundation. This exceptionally comprehensive formulation combines 27 carefully selected herbs including Bhringraj (the "King of Hair"), Neeli (Indigo), Ashwagandha and cooling botanicals like Lotus and Blue Water Lily, all prepared in pure sesame oil using the traditional Sneha Paka Vidhi method.

What sets this Triphaladi Thailam apart is its enhanced formulation. Beyond the classical Triphala base, it includes Neeli (Indigofera tinctoria) traditionally valued for supporting natural hair colour, Ashwagandha for its adaptogenic and stress-relieving properties, and a collection of cooling, Pitta-pacifying herbs that make it ideal for those experiencing scalp sensitivity, excess heat or premature greying.

This tridoshic oil helps restore balance to the scalp environment, supports healthy hair roots and addresses common concerns like dandruff, itching and scalp buildup. Its cooling yet clarifying nature makes it especially beneficial for those with excess Pitta in the head region. Beyond hair wellness, traditional texts note its supportive effects on the sense organs and mental clarity when used regularly for Shiro Abhyanga (head massage).
