BASTI (Enema)

A key Panchakarma therapy using medicated oils or decoctions administered rectally to eliminate toxins, balance Vata dosha, and rejuvenate the body from within.

Description

Basti is one of the five core detox therapies in Panchakarma, the ancient Ayurvedic system of body purification. This specialized treatment involves the gentle administration of herbal oils or decoctions through the rectum, targeting deep-seated imbalances—especially related to Vata dosha.

There are two primary types of Basti:

  • Anuvasana Basti – using medicated oils for nourishment and lubrication
  • Niruha Basti – using herbal decoctions for cleansing and detoxification

Key Benefits:

  • Removes accumulated toxins from the colon and body
  • Balances Vata dosha, the root of most degenerative and neurological disorders
  • Relieves constipation, bloating, sciatica, and lower back pain
  • Improves digestion, joint mobility, and mental clarity
  • Enhances reproductive and nervous system health
  • Recommended in arthritis, paralysis, IBS, chronic fatigue, and anxiety

Ideal For:

  • Individuals undergoing full Panchakarma detox
  • People suffering from chronic constipation, hormonal imbalance, or nervous disorders
  • Those seeking deep rejuvenation, immune support, and anti-aging benefits

Basti is considered the “mother of all Ayurvedic treatments”, as it directly works on the colon — the seat of Vata — and initiates healing at the root level. It must be administered under expert guidance with proper diet and lifestyle protocols for optimal results.
