Basti is a powerful Ayurvedic therapy involving the administration of medicated oils or herbal decoctions via the rectum, primarily to cleanse the colon, balance Vata dosha, and rejuvenate the internal systems.

It is one of the five core treatments of Panchakarma, often referred to as โ€œArdha Chikitsaโ€ (half of all treatments) due to its unparalleled effectiveness in treating chronic and degenerative conditions.
