What Are Kadha Basti Benefits? Considering It for Chronic Back Pain - #2350
I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for years now. I’ve tried physiotherapy, yoga, and even painkillers, but nothing seems to work long-term. The pain comes and goes, but lately it’s been really affecting my sleep and making it hard for me to sit at work for long hours. Someone at my yoga class mentioned Kadha Basti as part of an Ayurvedic treatment that could help with chronic pain and issues related to the spine. I’ve never done any Panchakarma therapies before, so I’m a bit skeptical but also desperate to find relief. From what I read, Kadha Basti is a type of enema using herbal decoctions that are supposed to help with deep detoxification and strengthening of the lower body. Can anyone explain more about the specific benefits of Kadha Basti? How does it actually work for conditions like back pain or sciatica? Is it safe to do if I have a sensitive stomach and digestive issues? Also, I’m curious about the experience itself. Is it uncomfortable or painful? And how many sessions would I need to feel any real difference? I’ve heard that Ayurveda focuses on balancing Vata dosha, and my pain seems worse during colder months, so maybe this could be related to a Vata imbalance? Would love to hear from anyone who’s done Kadha Basti and what kind of results you saw. Did it actually help with pain relief or digestion issues? Any tips for preparing for the treatment?
