Enema taken as a part of panchkarma during pregnancy is termed basti in ayurveda. While in conventional enema, the liquid allowed to enter the colon comes out fully, while basti has eight different types. only one type of basti, where herbal decoction in small quantity is introduced in the colon, the person takes rest for an hour and colon gets cleansed when decoction comes out, bringing deeo seated toxins in the colon. But seven other types of bastis introduce herbs infused oils, other products such as milk, buttermilk, honey etc where nothing comes out, everything gets absorbed in colon. These bastis have the purpose of strengthening colon peristalsis, taking care of polyps, fibroids, sluggish ovaries, blocked fallopian tubes etc..yes, one basti is given vaginally so that very small quantity of medicine/oil is injected by a syringe/catheter in the vagina or cervix, so that it enters in to uterus and goes right up to end of fallopian tubes. This is similar to dye injected during hysterosalpinograms used to check the blockage of tubes. But while modern science does invasive microsurgeries to correct the situation, ayurveda has bastis, though slightly invasive, no wound, no antibiotics or analgesics! patient walks out in less than an hour! bastis of ayurvedic panch karma are given in last 3 weeks of
gestation, several first time moms have delivered normally(VB), in
say less than six hours after labour pains started! and pains are reduced to increased elasticity of genito-urinal system. These bastis have special oils to strengthen vaginal muscles and cervix portion of the uterus.
This situation, though looks like utopian, it is from India, where
organic veggies and fruits are still available and there is not much
medication of synthetic vitamins and capsules during pregnancy.
