Vasti Therapy

(Enema Therapy)

Matra Vasti and Kashaya Vasti are traditional Ayurvedic enema therapies aimed at balancing the doshas and promoting detoxification. These therapies are primarily meant for Vata dosha, which governs movement and functions in the body.  

How Vasti Therapy Works?

The treatments involve the introduction of medicinal oils (Matra Vasti) or herbal decoctions (Kashaya Vasti) into the rectum to cleanse and rejuvenate the colon, improve digestion, and restore balance. 

Matra Vasti uses medicated oils, or ghee, which are introduced into the body to nourish, lubricate, and strengthen the tissues. The quantity is less and must be retained inside as far as possible. It is absorbed into the system. 

Kashaya Vasti involves the administration of herbal decoctions meant to detoxify and cure the issues of health, helping to cleanse the body and calm the nervous system. 

Vasti Therapy Procedure

Pre-treatment phase: The patient consults the doctor to determine the specific dosha imbalance. The preparation includes diet and oil treatments to soften and prepare the body. 

Administration of the therapy: The medicated oil in Matra Vasti or herbal decoction in Kashaya Vasti is introduced through the rectum using a special Ayurvedic apparatus. 

Matra Vasti involves a smaller quantity of oil or ghee that is retained for some duration, helping to lubricate and nourish the intestines. 

Kashaya Vasti typically involves a larger quantity of herbal liquid, which is retained till possible and then eliminated to cleanse the system and balance Vata dosha. 

Post-treatment care: After the therapy, rest and a special diet are recommended to help the body absorb the benefits of the treatment.

    Ram prasath
    I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

    I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

    I met Dr.Sampoorna who helped me with the treatment for my vericose veins. I underwent 14 days treatment in Shree Ayurvedic hospital. The 5 girls who helped me with the treatment were really kind and helpful. Even the staffs were really kind. I can see a good improvement in the condition after getting the treatment. Hope it gets even more better in the future.
