BASTI KARMA
Basti
therapy is perhaps the most powerful of the five main procedures
of PANCHAKARMA. Basti is the introduction of medicated liquids
in to the colon through the rectum. While it directly effects
the colon, it is not a localized or symptomatic treatment.
The colon is utilized because of its vital link with all of
the other organs and tissues. Three factors explain the colon's
significant role in supporting the body.
Types of basti therapy
The AYURVEDA prescribes one final class of nutritive, palliative Basti, which is not administered internally , but rather externally in localized areas of the body, such as the lower back or eyes. Even though they are not introduced into the body, they are still called Basti because the medicated lubricated substances are retained in areas of the body for a period of time. Four types of external Bastis are classified according to their site of administration.
Netra Basti
Netra Basti or Netra Tarpana, applies medicated Ghee to the eyes. The Ghee is contained by a dam constructed arround the eye socket, made of the dough from black gram flour. Netra Basti is highly nourishing for the eyes, removes eye stain and improves vision.
Katti BASTI

Katti Basti means retained on the lower back. It applies medicated oils in a container of black gram dough built arround the lumbosacral area. This form of external Basti particularly benefits muscle spasm and rigidity of the lower spine and strengthens the bone tissue in that area.
Uro Basti

Uro Basti means retained on the chest and heartarea It uses medicated oils in a container, also constructed of black gram dough, around the heart. It reduces pain in the sternum area and strengthens the heart.
Shiro BASTI

shiro Basti is administered on the head through
the use of a specialized leather container resembling a hat. This type of Basti improves the functioning of prana
vayu and revitalizes sensory functioning. It also promotes
Pathogenic secretions in the para-nasal sinus zone which reduce
vascular congestion in the brain. Shiro Basti is extremely
useful in vascular headaches, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive
disorders, memory loss disorientation, glaucoma and sinus
headaches.
