Basti (Enema Therapy / Treatment)

Overview

Basti, or Enema Therapy, is a cornerstone of Panchakarma treatments in Ayurveda and is offered at Westwind Ayurveda in Mysore. This therapy involves the introduction of herbal decoctions and medicated oils into the rectum to cleanse and rejuvenate the colon. Basti is highly effective in balancing the Vata dosha and is considered one of the most important therapies in Ayurveda due to its wide range of therapeutic benefits. At Westwind Ayurveda, we ensure that Basti therapy is administered with precision and care, adhering to the highest standards of traditional Ayurvedic practice.
