What is Basti karma? - Ayurvedic Therapeutic Enema

At Mahakali Ayurveda Hospital & Panchakarma Centre, we offer Basti Karma, one of the most important procedures in Ayurveda, renowned for its profound impact on health, particularly in diseases arising from Vata dosha imbalance.

Basti involves the administration of medicated oils or medicated decoctions into the rectum. This allows direct absorption through the colon, helping to regulate and balance Vata throughout the body. According to classical Ayurvedic texts, Basti is considered “Ardha Chikitsa” (half of the entire treatment), underscoring its immense therapeutic value.

Benefits of Basti

• Highly effective in managing neurological and musculoskeletal disorders like sciatica, spondylitis, arthritis, and lower back pain

• Beneficial in digestive issues such as constipation, IBS, and bloating

• Helps in urinary disorders and reproductive health problems

• Supports detoxification and rejuvenation of the body tissues

• Improves strength, vitality, and longevity by nourishing deeper tissues (Dhatus)
