Basti, or Enema Therapy, is one of the most important Panchakarma treatments in Ayurveda and is highly valued for its wide range of therapeutic benefits. The procedure involves introducing medicated oils or herbal decoctions into the rectum to cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate the colon. Basti is especially effective in balancing Vata dosha, making it a cornerstone therapy for both detoxification and rejuvenation.
At Westwind Ayurveda, we administer Basti therapy with utmost precision, following traditional Ayurvedic principles. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s health needs, ensuring a safe, effective, and deeply restorative experience.
Advantages of Basti Therapy
Detoxification: Cleanses the colon and removes accumulated toxins for better digestive health.
Balances Vata: Relieves constipation, bloating, joint pain, and other Vata-related imbalances.
Rejuvenation: Nourishes and strengthens body tissues, restoring vitality and energy.
Pain Relief: Eases discomfort from arthritis, sciatica, and lower back pain.
Holistic Wellness: Promotes mental calmness, reducing stress and anxiety.
Subtypes of Basti Therapy
Anuvasana Basti
This form uses medicated oils to lubricate and nourish the colon, making it especially useful in managing Vata disorders such as dryness, weakness, and joint issues.
Niruha Basti
This subtype employs herbal decoctions to thoroughly cleanse the colon and expel toxins. It is often prescribed for balancing Pitta and Kapha imbalances.
