Basti is one of the most powerful Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda, designed to cleanse the colon, remove toxins, and balance Vata dosha. This therapy involves the administration of medicated oils or herbal decoctions through the rectum, facilitating the elimination of waste and restoring the body’s natural balance. Basti is highly effective in treating chronic constipation, joint pain, neurological disorders, and digestive issues.
What is Basti Therapy?
Basti therapy is a therapeutic enema treatment that helps detoxify the body by expelling accumulated toxins from the intestines. Unlike conventional enemas, Basti is deeply nourishing and has both cleansing and rejuvenating effects. Depending on the individual’s health condition, Basti can be performed using oil-based (Anuvasan Basti) or decoction-based (Niruha Basti) herbal formulations. This therapy is essential for managing Vata-related disorders and restoring overall well-being.
