Basti Therapy : An Introduction
Basti is a treatment modality included in Panchakarma therapy of Ayurveda. In a laymans language, it may be explained as enema. This Basti treatment is manifold effective compared to usual enema, as it has much more therapeutic implications. Enema is mainly given for evacuation of the bowel.
Ayurvedic Basti tones up the natural intestinal mucosa, strengthens the musculature, lubricates it, take out solidified fecal material, improves oxygenated blood supply to the adjacent visceral organs and thereby helps to retain the physiological functioning of all the organs in the lower abdomen.
Basti treatment is also effective in successfully treating all types of neuromuscular pains in lumbo-sacral area and lower limbs. This effect is achieved owing to lubrication effect to the nerves in the lumbo-sacral region.
