Will Matra Basti Help My Skin Become Oily? - #47082

Thank you soo much maam, I doo have less metabolism and constipation as per sleep cycle its good I get enough of sleep, the thing is i dont have proper timmings for anything

Could you also tell me after doing matra basti what and all should I do to maintain vata balanced?? And how this vata imbalances occurred over the years??

Thank you for sharing this honestly,

What you have mentioned now explains a lot about why your pain and dryness have continued for so long. When metabolism is low and constipation is present along with irregular daily timings it clearly indicates a long standing Vata imbalance affecting digestion and elimination Even if sleep duration is good an irregular routine keeps Vata disturbed internally and prevents proper nourishment of the tissues

In your case the dryness is not only on the skin surface It is deeper inside due to poor digestion improper absorption and delayed elimination When digestion is weak and bowels are not regular the body cannot form good quality rasa and sneha This leads to dry joints nerve irritation body aches and rough skin over time

Matra basti is especially helpful in such a condition because it does not depend on strong digestion It works directly at the level of the colon which is the main seat of Vata By lubricating and calming Apana Vata it helps soften stools improves bowel regularity reduces internal dryness and gradually improves metabolism in a natural way That is why it is commonly advised when constipation and body pain exist together.

Along with basti internal support for constipation and metabolism is helpful when Vata is dominant,

At night take Gandharva Haritaki with warm water ,it lubricates the intestines while supporting elimination

castor oil with warm milk once or twice a week will help release deep seated Vata from the colon

Hingvastakchurna half tsp after meals with warm water can help digestion without increasing dryness Warm water sips through the day and ghee with meals support digestive fire while maintaining internal lubrication

About irregular timings you do not need a perfect routine

Even fixing one or two basic timings like having something warm in the morning and eating dinner at a similar time daily can make a noticeable difference over weeks

As digestion and elimination improve the body starts healing naturally Take warm n fresh food

Avoid long gaps between meals, dry foods ,frequent fasting and excessive cleansing.

When digestion improves and Vata becomes balanced the skin naturally becomes softer more elastic and comfortably oily and all these changes will be seen gradually

Vata imbalance does not develop suddenly It builds slowly over years due to repeated small stresses on the body and mind Irregular daily routine delayed meals skipped meals eating late at night or eating at different times every day gradually disturb Vata Dry light cold foods excessive salads packaged foods bakery items and low intake of nourishing fats increase internal dryness Mental stress overthinking anxiety fear emotional strain and lack of mental rest directly aggravate Vata in the nervous system Repeated fasting long gaps between meals excessive travel exposure to cold air air conditioning and lack of oil application weaken lubrication Over time digestion becomes irregular absorption reduces elimination slows down and tissues stop receiving proper nourishment This is how Vata settles deeply in the colon joints nerves and skin leading to chronic pain dryness stiffness and constipation

Matra basti works by correcting this at the root level After completing matra basti the most important thing is to protect the balance that has been created

To maintain Vata balance the body needs regularity warmth nourishment and calmness Try to keep meal timings reasonably consistent even if they are not perfect Eat warm freshly prepared food that is soft slightly oily and easy to digest Avoid dry cold leftover and very light foods especially at night Include ghee warm milk soaked nuts well cooked vegetables and simple nourishing meals

Daily habits are very important Gentle oil application to the body especially feet legs lower back abdomen and joints two to three times a week helps keep Vata grounded Use warm water for bathing and avoid very hot or very cold showers Protect the body from cold wind and excessive cooling

Mental routine also plays a big role Reduce overthinking multitasking and excessive screen exposure Maintain a calm wind down time before sleep Sleeping and waking around a similar time daily helps stabilize Vata

Constipation should not be allowed to return If bowel movement becomes irregular mild Vata balancing support like Triphala churna in small quantity at night with warm water or warm milk can be used If there is more dryness Gandharva Haritaki with warm milk is a better option For very stubborn constipation a very small quantity of castor oil with warm milk once or twice a week may be used under guidance These help elimination without increasing dryness and also support metabolism

Understand that Vata is sensitive but also very responsive Once balanced it stays stable when given rhythm nourishment and care You do not need strict discipline only gentle consistency When digestion is steady bowels are regular mind is calm and body is nourished Vata remains balanced

With proper post basti care pain dryness and stiffness can remain under control for a long time Your awareness and willingness to support your body is the strongest foundation for long term healing
