Of all the treatments in Panchakarma,
basti is considered the
most effective. This is because it reduces conditions that are caused by
exacerbated Vata dosha. The effect of basti is to ease lower back pain,
reduce insomnia, lower stress and nervousness, and gently ease conditions
of chronic constipation by lubricating the colon. Oil and herbs are warmed
and the client is assisted in self-administration of the basti fluids to
the rectum. This induces a feeling of restfulness and even sleep. The
procedure is gentle and comfortable.
