B(V)asti and parasites issue

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi;

It is my understanding that Dr. Jyoshi in Albuquerque gives daily

attention during panchakarma with clients including parasite

cleansing. Of course he is a well trained vaidya. He checks pulses,

changes diet, herbals, bastis, other pk practices daily. This would

be valuable level of expertise!

 

In any case, thanks for sharing. This is not something I had been

given before although I know there are some states here where to

administer a basti is not legal? As we discussed, for this reason

folks are, like at Dr. Douillard's office, given the basti in a

disposable enema bag, premixed and with instrucitons, brown paper bag

for take home evening self-administration. Were you given to

understand even then this might be inappropriate if there are

parasites? I beleive the bala infused sesame oil basti for the newly

delivered mothers is still of such benefit.

 

Use of careful and hygenic practice/protocols, surgical gloves etc

feels acceptable to my understanding for those clients directly

requesting assistance. The essential oil blend we use sometimes

called Di-Gize has gently appropriate (from familiar culinary herb)

antiparasitic essential oils in it which could be safely used in the

oil basti by mothers at this time if deemed needed to reduce the

burden without going into a de-parasite program at this delicate time.

 

Dr. Bhate, as I understand it the postpartum early weeks we would not

be doing this parasite kashya basti (I know not the recipe, but expect

it might easily increase vata or certainly be less preferred at this

time?). Are there other herbs in addition to bala (which apparently

is being banned for import here now!) which would be suitable for

early postpartum oil basti decoction? Our choice at this time appears

to be dashamoola and perhaps some ashwaghanda.

 

Per your statement, " bastis can make pelvis muscles strong enough not

to need foreceps at all. provided of course right oils and number of

bastis are performed. " - Is it that the oil itself strengthens the

pelvic muscles, or is it the use of bala and other herbs carried by

the oil? Would you kindly share more on this preparatory practice?

This is done preconception, or during pregnancy? Differing

discussions have come across my desk about whether to do basti during

pregnancy, except for last weeks.

 

Warm Regards;

Ysha
