Basti Karma Benefits - #3921

I’ve been reading a lot about Panchakarma therapies and came across basti karma. I’m curious because I’ve been dealing with lower back pain, irregular bowel movements, and just a general feeling of heaviness in my body. I’ve tried other treatments, but nothing seems to work long-term. From what I understand, basti karma is supposed to help with these kinds of issues, but I’d really like to know more about basti karma benefits before I commit to it. Does basti karma only work for digestive problems, or does it have benefits for other health issues too? I’ve read that it’s good for joint pain and even helps with clearing toxins from the body, but I don’t know how true that is. Can you explain how basti karma benefits different parts of the body and not just digestion? Also, I’ve been feeling really low on energy lately, and I wonder if basti karma could help with that. Is it true that it can balance vata dosha? I don’t know much about doshas, but I read that vata imbalance can cause a lot of the issues I’m experiencing, like constipation and anxiety. Would one session of basti karma be enough to notice benefits, or does it take multiple sessions to feel a difference? Another thing I’m concerned about is safety. Are there any risks or side effects to this treatment? Some articles say it’s completely natural and safe, but I’d like to hear from an expert. Do the basti karma benefits outweigh any possible side effects? And do you need to follow a special diet or routine before and after the treatment to make the most of it? Lastly, I’ve been wondering if basti karma benefits people who don’t have any major health issues. For example, can it be done as a preventive therapy to stay healthy? If so, how often should it be done? I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations on this because I’m really interested in giving it a try.
