Basti
Colon Detox & Vata Balancing Protocol
Medicated herbal oil or decoction enema therapy that targets the colon — the primary seat of Vata — to purge toxins and nourish systemic tissues.
Traditional significance and modern relevance.
Revered in Ayurvedic classics as half of all medical treatments (Ardha Chikitsa) due to its vast therapeutic reach. We align each therapeutic movement with clinical metrics, tracking skin circulation, neuro-adrenal load parameters, and systemic purges.
Recommended for chronic constipation, IBS, lower back pain, sciatica, and systemic Vata disorders.
Colon Cleansing & Balance
Clears accumulated fecal toxins and balances intestinal microflora.
Vata Regulation
Directly pacifies high Vata at its root site in the lower gastrointestinal tract.
