Basti (Enema)
Ayurveda Basti (Enema) is considered as the key activity of all Panchakarma treatments since it cleanses the accumulated toxins through the colon. Basti is also highly effective as a rejuvenating treatment. Medicated oil or ghee (clear butter) and an herbal combination is given as enema to clean the colon and increase the muscle tone. This procedure can be applied for a number of days based on the medical condition of a person and as prescribed by the Ayurveda Physician.

Basti means introducing liquids like medicated oils, herbal mixtures and milk per through the anus, urinary meatus or vaginal orifice (in women) in order to clean or supplement the lower part of the body. The toxins accumulated in the lower part of the body are pushed to the lower digestive tract, urinary tract or reproductive tract.
