Enema Treatment

Have you had an enema treatment before? Even better, have you had an Ayurvedic enema (basti) before? 

If so, you will most likely attest to the amazing results they offer. From improving digestive function, less bloating, feeling lighter, treating gynae conditions, and so much more - Basti treatment is the king of Ayurvedic treatment. And right now, the season of Autumn, is a great time for undergoing basti treatment 🍂

Basti treatment is the main treatment for increased doshas, predominately the Vata Dosha.

Vata Dosha is made up of both air and ether elements 💨 Many Vata type of diseases are treated with Basti Karma including arthritis, rheumatism, muscle spasm, sciatica, backache, joint pains, headaches, constipation, gynaecological disorders and infertility.

What is the process of Basti Karma?

There are two types of basti. One is the Niruha basti, an eliminating decoction basti; the other is called an Anuvasana basti, an oil-based enema. Generally, the two bastis are done in alteration to reach the deeper tissues of the body.

A consultation with a practitioner is required prior to undergoing basti treatment, as the oil or decoction is chosen specifically for the client. In these photos Karin is preparing the ingredients for the basti enema treatment. The formulation is determined based on the needs of the client.

Before the basti, a short lower back massage and Nadi sveda, localised sweating therapy are performed. This is useful for helping to open up the channels of the localised area. This is useful for treating lower back pain, sciatica, endometriosis, PMS, stiff joints and muscles, and arthritis. Check out the following photos to see the Nadi Sveda.

The importance of hydrating and cleansing the colon has been used in many systems of medicine throughout the world. It is critical to keep Vata in balance as it is often regarded as the leader of the Doshas as it governs the functioning of both Pitta and Kapha.
