What is Anuvasana Basti?

Anuvasana Basti Treatment at Herbal Hills Center Mumbai

Ayurvedic Oil Enema for Constipation & Digestive Health

Anuvasana Basti is a classical Ayurvedic therapy that uses warm, specially prepared medicated oils administered through the rectal route. It is one of the most effective treatments in Panchakarma for addressing Vata-related disorders of the digestive system.

The medicated oil deeply lubricates the colon walls, softens hardened stool, and stimulates natural peristaltic movement — providing relief from chronic constipation, bloating, and gut dryness naturally.

Anuvasana Basti works directly at the site of imbalance, making it one of the most targeted Ayurvedic treatments for digestive disorders.

The Anuvasana Basti Procedure

1
Ayurvedic Consultation

Our Ayurvedic doctor assesses your digestive history, body type (Prakriti), and severity of symptoms. The appropriate medicated oil — such as Sesame oil, Dashamoola Taila, or Murchita Ghrita — is selected based on your specific condition.

2
Preparation of Medicated Oil

The selected medicated oil is carefully warmed to body temperature and prepared for administration. The patient is made comfortable in the correct position on the treatment table.

3
Oil Enema Administration

Route: Rectal — via a sterile rubber catheter

Patient guidance: Deep, slow breathing through the mouth during instillation

Sensation: Gentle warmth and mild fullness — comfortable for most patients

The warm medicated oil is gently introduced into the colon through a sterile catheter. The procedure is performed slowly and carefully to ensure comfort and maximum absorption of the therapeutic oil.

4
Retention & Rest

After administration, the patient rests quietly. The oil is ideally retained in the body as long as comfortably possible — longer retention allows deeper absorption of the medicinal properties. The doctor advises on diet and post-procedure care for best results.
