Panchakarma Basti (Enema):
Basti is called as half treatment (Ardh Chikitsa) and the most effective treatment in Ayurveda as it not only prime cure for Vata disorders but also detoxifies toxins created by pitta and kapha, through rectum.

Ayurvedic formulations like kwath (decoction), medicated oil, ghee is introduced through anus into the colon.

Basti is very effective for treatment of brittle bones/ osteoporosis, gas issues, constipation, backache, hemiplegia, paraplegia, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, chronic fever, arthritis, muscle spasm, acidity, digestive disorders, joint pain, slip disc, sexual dysfunction etc and different ailments caused because of imbalance of vata dosha.

The large intestine and bones is the main seat of vata, so Basti is administered through rectum which removes toxins and also nourishes the membrane of colon and controls vata diseases efficiently.
