What is Kada Basti?

Kada Basti, also known as Kashaya Basti, is an Ayurvedic therapy that involves the administration of medicated herbal decoctions through the rectum. This is done on day 3,5,7 on an empty stomach. This treatment requires 800ml -1000ml of medicine to be introduced through the colon. This medicine flushes out all the waste from the small and large intestine and the colon. The patient releases all the waste in the clinic itself within a few mins of medicine being administered. Post the session, the patient can have some fruits.

Benefits of Kada Basti

• Detoxification: Kada Basti is believed to help in detoxifying the body by removing accumulated toxins and waste materials from the colon and the entire digestive tract.
• Balances Vata Dosha: This therapy is particularly beneficial for balancing Vata dosha, which governs movement and is often associated with conditions such as constipation, gas, bloating, and joint pain.
• Relieves Constipation: Kada Basti helps to promote bowel movements and alleviate constipation by lubricating the intestines and facilitating the elimination of waste material.
• Supports Digestive Health: By cleansing and tonifying the colon, Kada Basti enhances the function of the digestive system and promotes optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Reduces Gas and Bloating: This therapy can help to alleviate symptoms of gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort by promoting regular bowel movements and reducing intestinal stagnation.
• Alleviates Joint Pain: Kada Basti may provide relief from joint pain and stiffness associated with conditions such as arthritis or rheumatism, as it helps to balance Vata dosha and reduce inflammation.
• Strengthens the Colon: Regular Kada Basti sessions can help to strengthen the muscles of the colon, improve peristalsis (the wave-like movement of the intestines), and maintain optimal bowel function.
• Enhances Nutrient Absorption: By promoting a healthy digestive system and regular bowel movements, Kada Basti supports the absorption and assimilation of nutrients from food, enhancing overall nutrition and well-being.
• Boosts Immunity: This therapy may help to strengthen the immune system by promoting detoxification, supporting digestive health, and reducing the burden of toxins on the body.
• Promotes Mental Clarity: Ayurvedic enemas, including Kada Basti, are believed to have a purifying effect on the mind and nervous system, promoting mental clarity, focus, and emotional balance.
