\"\"At Ayur health Veda, we aim to provide pure, authentic, and classical Ayurvedic treatment to rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit.<\/p>\n

After identifying the root causes and underline factors in an ailment, we provide Ayurvedic treatment to an individual that is unique to their body type(doshas).<\/p>\n

One of these unique treatments is the Basti treatment.<\/p>\n

Basti treatment is one of the five components of Panchkarma therapy.<\/p>\n

Various methods by which the body is cleansed of all the unwanted waste are called Panchkarma.<\/p>\n

According to Ayurveda, our body is constituted by 3 main components\/ doshas namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.<\/p>\n

These doshas represent various systems of the body like nutrition, metabolism, and the nervous system.<\/p>\n

The balance between these doshas is very important for the healthy state of a person. Whenever this balance is disturbed, diseases may manifest.<\/p>\n

Ayurveda believes in maintaining and restoring this state of equilibrium between doshas for which it advocates various regimens and treatment modalities like Dincharya, Ritucharya, Adharniya Vegas, Rasayan- vajikaran, and Panchkarma.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Various methods by which the body is cleansed of all the unwanted waste are called Panchkarma.<\/p>\n

These procedures are 5 in number hence the term Pancha (five) karma (procedures).<\/p>\n

These five karmas not only help a\u00a0 healthy person maintain his health but also, including preventive and curative actions for various diseases which are otherwise considered untreatable in the modern era.<\/p>\n

Panchkarma is an inseparable part of Ayurveda and it has been recommended that each and every person should undergo Panchkarma for maintaining good health also, it is recommended that it should be done before starting any medication so that the person can receive the maximum benefits of the treatment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basti treatment acts by eliminating the doshas and toxins from the body.<\/p>\n

It is done by using medicated oils and liquids to expel the impurities out of the body through the intestinal tract by means of the anus, urethra, and\/ or vaginal passage.<\/p>\n

Basti is considered “Ardhchikita” in Ayurveda which means it is half of all the ayurvedic treatments. That’s how much importance has been given to Basti treatment.<\/p>\n

About 80% of vata-related problems can be treated with this treatment of medicated enemas called Basti.<\/p>\n

This treatment is performed over a specific duration of time which can be from a week to a month.<\/p>\n

Basti treatment has many varieties but it is broadly divided into two types as follows.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Anuvasana Basti (Medicated oil Enema)-<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Enema of oils medicated with various Ayurvedic Herbs and minerals not only lubricate the rectal area but they get absorbed in the whole body and give nourishment to every cell of the body. It also expels lipid-soluble toxins and wastes out of the body through the anus. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Vata dosha.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    • Asthapana Basti (Medicated Decoction Enema)-<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
