Dr. Swetha answers a question on Infertility – What is Uttar Basti and How Does it Help in Infertility? Uttara Basti (or Uttara Vasti), a significant Ayurveda technique targets the reproductive and urinary systems. It uses medicated oils or ghee applied through the urethra or vagina (“Uttara” meaning upper). This treatment aims to balance the body’s energies (doshas), particularly Vata dosha, which is often imbalanced in urinary and reproductive issues. Uttara Basti is commonly used for infertility, menstrual problems, urinary infections, blocked fallopian tubes, PCOS, and other related conditions.
