Vasti

Image of Vasti

The panchakarma procedures of Ayurveda are peculiar in nature. They bring out the best results and are completely reliable.

Vasti is one of the panchakarma procedures. Vasti in Sanskrit means ‘bladder’. The literal meaning of vasti is ‘that which can retain ‘.

Vasti is the procedure where the medicine is administered through the anus, and the contents of the alimentary canal are purged out. There are different kinds of vasti like Janu vasti, Kati vasti, shirovasti, etc. In these methods, the oil is retained in a particular part to alleviate the symptoms of diseases.

There are mainly three types of vasti.

  • Niruha vasti – using kashaya
  • Anuvasana vasti -using Sneha dravya (eg ghee, oil, etc)
  • Uttara vasti – administered through the urinary tract or vagina in females.

The medicinal drugs when administered through the lower orifices, they cause the downward expulsion of the entire contents of the alimentary canal.

Vasti is mainly given in conditions of Vata dosha vitiation. It can be administered in case of neurological disorders like paraplegia, sciatica,  Parkinson’s disease, etc.

In rheumatological disorders,  digestive disorders, and chronic fever also vasti can be administered.

But in pregnant women, old people, in people with cough, vomiting, piles,  ascitis, etc, it should not be administered.
