Asthapana Basti (Herbal Decoction Enema)

Herbal Decoction Enema for Deep Detoxification and Vata-Pitta Balance

Description

Asthapana Basti, also referred to as Niruha Basti or Kashaya Basti, is one of the most important therapies in Panchakarma. It involves the rectal administration of a specially prepared herbal decoction to detoxify the colon, balance the Vata dosha, and support systemic purification.

This cleansing therapy removes deep-seated metabolic toxins (Ama) from the gastrointestinal tract, tissues, and minute channels. It promotes clarity, lightness, improved digestion, and emotional balance. It is particularly effective in managing chronic constipation, autoimmune conditions, and neurological issues.
