Basti is the cleansing of the large intestine and the most powerful of the 5 karmas.� Though very different, its closest comparison would be an oily herbalized / fortified enema where the oil is retained and absorbed through the intestine and distributed through the entire body.� It is a very effective way to getting herbs very directly and quickly throughout your body. Generally recommended to balance Vata - the dosha of movement - and thus all physiological activity of the body.� This therefore has effects on all channels, tissues and other doshas of the body.
�
They work to replenish and nourish all tissues within the body.� They relieve constipation, distention, chronic fever, cols, sexual disorders, kidney stones, heart pain, backache sciatica and joint pain.� Other vata disorders including arthritis, rheumatism, gout, muscle spasms and headaches may also be treatment with bastis.� As we said earlier� the most powerful of the 5 karmas!
