What is basti Panchakarma?
Basti Panchakarma is the most important and powerful detox therapy in Ayurveda, primarily used to balance Vata Dosha. It involves the administration of medicated oils and herbal decoctions through the rectal route to remove deep-seated toxins (Ama), nourish tissues, and restore normal bodily functions.
At Vaidya Parampara, Basti therapy is carefully customized and supervised by experienced Ayurvedic doctors for safe and long-lasting healing.
Basti is one of the five main Panchakarma therapies and is considered the best treatment for Vata-related disorders. Since Vata governs movement, nerves, joints, and elimination, Basti plays a crucial role in treating chronic, degenerative, and neurological conditions.
Unlike enemas, Ayurvedic Basti is a therapeutic and nourishing procedure, not just cleansing.
Types of Basti Therapy
Depending on the condition, different types of Basti are prescribed:
Niruha (Kashaya) Basti – Herbal decoction enema for detoxification
Anuvasana Basti – Medicated oil enema for nourishment & lubrication
Yoga Basti / Kala Basti – Structured treatment protocols combining both
Why is Basti Therapy Recommended?
Aggravated Vata Dosha leads to pain, dryness, stiffness, degeneration, and nervous system imbalance. Basti directly addresses Vata at its main site (colon) and provides deep healing.
Recommended for conditions such as:
Arthritis & joint pain
Lower back pain & sciatica
