Holistic Healing with Vasti Therapy
At Dr. Rekha Health Wisdom Ayurveda and Panchkarma Centre, we offer Vasti Therapy, a cornerstone of Panchkarma treatments. Known as Enema Therapy in Ayurveda, this therapeutic procedure helps detoxify the body, balance the Vata dosha, and promote overall health by introducing herbal oils or decoctions through the rectum.
What is Vasti Therapy?
Vasti, or Ayurvedic enema therapy, is designed to eliminate toxins from the colon and address a wide range of health concerns. It is particularly effective in pacifying Vata dosha, which governs movement and communication in the body. An imbalance in Vata can lead to various issues, including digestive disorders, joint pain, and neurological problems.
Vasti therapy is considered one of the most effective and natural methods for internal cleansing and rejuvenation.
