Benefits Of Basti - #4034

I’ve been struggling with digestive issues for a while now chronic constipation and bloating that never seem to go away, despite trying various diets and medications. I’ve read that Ayurvedic treatments, specifically basti, could help with these kinds of digestive problems. I’ve heard the benefits of basti are numerous, but I’m unsure how it works and if it’s the right option for me. From what I understand, basti involves the introduction of medicinal oils or herbal liquids into the colon to cleanse and heal, but how exactly does it help with digestion? I have a sluggish digestive system, and sometimes I feel like no matter what I eat, my stomach just doesn’t feel right. Could basti help with that? What are the benefits of basti when it comes to chronic constipation and bloating? Is it something that works immediately, or does it take a few sessions to notice improvements? Also, I’ve heard that basti is not just for digestion, but it also addresses other imbalances in the body, like stress and fatigue. Is this true? How does it help to calm the nervous system or relieve stress? Since I also have issues with anxiety, would basti help with both my digestive concerns and my mental well-being? I’ve seen some information suggesting that basti should be part of a larger Ayurvedic treatment plan, which might include a specific diet and lifestyle changes. What other treatments or practices should I consider alongside basti to maximize the benefits? And how many sessions would I typically need to experience the full benefits of basti for long-term relief? I also want to know if there are any side effects of basti. Could it cause discomfort, especially for someone with a sensitive digestive system like mine? I don’t want to make things worse, so I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has used basti for similar issues. Lastly, how do I find a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who specializes in basti? Are there any certifications or qualifications I should look for when choosing a practitioner?
