About Sneha vasti
A core Panchakarma therapy focusing on the colon—the primary seat of Vata dosha. It provides direct nourishment to the lower intestinal tracts and strengthens pelvic organs.
When Sneha vasti may — and may not — be appropriate
May be appropriate for
- Severe constipation, lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, neurological disorders, bloating, and Vata-dominated conditions.
When it should NOT be done
- Acute diarrhea, bleeding piles, rectal prolapse, severe anemia, and immediately after a heavy meal.
The decision is always individualised by your treating physician.
What to Expect During Sneha vasti
A warm, full sensation in the lower abdomen, followed by smooth evacuation of feces and a substantial reduction in lower back stiffness and bloating.
