Oil Enema - #6483
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with constipation and a feeling of dryness in my body, especially in my joints. I’ve heard that an oil enema can help with these issues, but I’m not sure if it’s the right option for me. Has anyone here tried an oil enema, and does it really provide relief for vata imbalances? I also want to know how an oil enema works in Ayurveda. Is it just about lubricating the colon, or does it have deeper benefits like nourishing the body or balancing the doshas? I’m a bit hesitant about the process since I’ve never tried enemas before, and I’m not sure how comfortable or safe it is to do at home. If I decide to go for an oil enema, what type of oil is recommended? Should it be sesame oil, or are there other oils that work better for specific conditions? And how often should I do it? I’ve heard that overdoing it can weaken natural bowel movements, so I want to make sure I follow the right guidelines. I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s used an oil enema for chronic issues like dryness, joint stiffness, or constipation. Did it work for you, and how long did it take to see results?
