Basthi is a magical ayurvedic treatment, which is more or less a herbal enema that involves the use of medicated ghee or herbal oils administered through the rectum or vaginal canal. This is done with the help of a specially designed container called a Basti Yantra. This therapy is a powerful tool for treating a wide range of ailments, like digestive disorders, urinary tract disorders, joint problems and reproductive disorders.
During the therapy, the medicated substance is allowed to stay in the body for a specific period of time to allow for maximum absorption and optimal therapeutic benefit. This therapy is normally carried out in a series of sessions and the number of sessions depends on the person’s medical condition and response to treatment.
