Sneha Vasti
Sneha Vasti is a classical Ayurvedic therapeutic procedure involving the administration of medicated oil through the rectal route. In Ayurveda, Sneha refers to medicated oils or ghee preparations used for deep nourishment and lubrication of body tissues. Sneha Vasti is primarily recommended for detoxification, tissue rejuvenation, and the management of chronic disorders.
This therapy is considered one of the most powerful cleansing and restorative treatments described in Ayurvedic classics such as the Charaka Samhita, where Vasti is regarded as a key procedure for systemic balance and healing.
During the procedure, warm medicated oil is gently introduced into the rectum under professional supervision. The patient lies comfortably on the left side, and proper lubrication is ensured before administration. The oil is retained for a prescribed duration to allow deep absorption and therapeutic action within the colon. Gentle abdominal massage may be performed to enhance distribution and effectiveness.
Sneha Vasti is commonly recommended for chronic constipation, lower back pain, degenerative joint disorders, neurological conditions, gout, rheumatism, and certain metabolic imbalances. It supports colon cleansing, improves nutrient absorption, and strengthens body tissues from within.
