Basti in Ayurveda
Basti is one of the most important therapies in Ayurveda and is considered a cornerstone of Panchakarma treatment. It involves the introduction of herbal decoctions, oils, or medicated liquids into the colon via the rectum. Basti is particularly effective in balancing the Vata dosha and is widely used for detoxification, rejuvenation, and treating a variety of health conditions.
