Vasti
Vasti Therapy – Master Treatment for Vata Disorders
Vasti (Basti) is one of the most important Panchakarma therapies and is considered Ardha Chikitsa (half of total treatment) in Ayurveda. This medicated enema therapy effectively eliminates accumulated Vata dosha from the entire body using herbal oils, ghee, or decoctions administered through anal, urethral, or vaginal routes. Uttara Vasti, given through urethral or vaginal routes, is especially beneficial for infertility, urinary disorders, and sexual health. Vasti provides both cleansing and palliative effects, restores neurological balance, rejuvenates tissues, and harmonizes all three doshas, making it highly effective for chronic, degenerative, and neuromuscular conditions.
