Significance of Therapeutic enema
Therapeutic enema, as defined in both Ayurveda and conventional medicine, involves introducing liquid into the rectum for various health benefits. In Ayurveda, it is known as Basti and is used to cleanse the colon, eliminating excess Vata and treating disorders like Vatarakta and Gridhrasi. This procedure may involve medicated oils or specific solutions aimed at addressing specific health issues. Overall, therapeutic enemas serve as essential methods for stimulating bowel movements and delivering medication in both traditions.
