Does Basti Treatment Help with Constipation? - #1049

Anonymously

I’ve had bad constipation for years now, and nothing seems to work long-term. Tried meds, fiber, and drinking lots of water, but I still get bloated and uncomfortable. Someone suggested Basti treatment from Ayurveda, saying it’s a special type of enema that helps clean out the body. I want to know if it actually work, and is it safe? I’ve never done Ayurvedic treatments before, so I’m a bit nervous.

Doctors’ responses

Basti therapy, an Ayurvedic enema treatment, can be highly effective for chronic constipation and digestive issues, especially when conventional methods haven’t provided lasting relief. It involves administering medicinal oils or herbal decoctions into the rectum to cleanse the colon, lubricate the intestines, and stimulate regular bowel movements. Basti helps balance Vata dosha, which is often linked to constipation and bloating, while detoxifying the body and promoting better digestion. When performed by a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, it is generally safe and can provide long-term relief. However, it’s essential to ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific health needs, and you should consult a qualified practitioner before proceeding. For those new to Ayurveda, starting with gentler remedies like Triphala or simple formulas can also support digestion before considering Basti therapy according to the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor after examining you.
