Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I looked into the files and could not find anything about this in there so I thought I would pose the question to the group, when you are doing a Oil and Herb Basti do you first do a cleansing Basti with water and lemon juice then do the oil Basti after the body rests? The book by Dr. Lad is not clear on that so any help would be greatly recived. Thank you ALL for all the Great information you have shared through this group.

If so anuvasana vasti, or oil enema, is the first type of vasti treatment to be implemented, and is used in an alternating fashion with kashaya vasti (or decoction enema): one day of anuvasana, three days of kashaya, and one day of anuvasana to total five days of treatment. I have never used nor heard of using lemon juice and water as an enema. Caldecott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Dear Jim, Cleansing basti should be followed by oil basti, It helps balancing vata.
