This is an ancient treatment utilized to relieve pain in specific areas of the body by applying a raised circle of dough that contains a unique blend of medicated herbal oils within its center for each person and each condition.

Kati Basti (Healing of back pain) relieves and nourishes localized areas of the back. It is also used as a therapy to rejuvenate the lumbosacral zone. It pacifies one of the primary sites of vata-type problems, relieving pain, soreness, and tension in any area. It is performed by filling a dam made out of dough with lukewarm medicated oil or ghee (clarified butter) and placed on the lumbosacral area (or any other painful zone of the back).

Nabhi Basti (Navel region balance and emotional release) helps to balance the nabhi marma, which is the vital center where all 72,000 nadis (subtle energy pathways) converge. It strengthens the power of digestion and absorption, and facilitates the release of deeply seated emotions. It relieves digestive symptoms such as irritable bowel, flatulence, poor appetite, constipation and abdominal discomfort. It is performed by filling a dam made out of dough with lukewarm medicated oil or ghee that is placed over the navel area.

Uro Basti (Heart strength) focuses on the region over the heart. It helps nourish, strengthen and regulate heart functions. It is performed by filling a dam made out of dough with lukewarm medicated oil, warm milk, ghee (clarified butter) and rose petals placed over the heart area. This treatment strengthens and nourishes the physical and emotional heart center.

Vishuddha Basti (Thyroid treatment) used for any thyroid condition and all throat problems.

Chakra Basti (Correction of different dysfunctions) can be performed for each chakra. Each chakra manages particular physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual processes. The chakra bastis nourish and strengthen these functions. More information on chakras can be requested.

Adrenal Basti (Helps with fatigue, adrenal gland syndromes and stress) nourishes the kidneys and the adrenal glands, supporting balanced energy levels in the body. It is a perfect method of recovery after any illness or emotional trauma. A dough dam is created across the back above the adrenal glands.
