Kashaya Vasthi Therapy in Kerala – Jeevan Homestay, Kovalam
Deep Ayurvedic Detox with Herbal Decoction Enema for Chronic Disorders
Kashaya Vasthi is a specialized form of Vasthi therapy (Ayurvedic medicated enema) using a herbal decoction instead of oil. At Jeevan Homestay in Chowara, Kovalam, we offer Kashaya Vasthi as part of our advanced Panchakarma detox programs, supervised by experienced Ayurvedic doctors and tailored to treat chronic, stubborn Vata disorders and toxin accumulation.
This internal cleansing therapy is known for its powerful effects on the colon, joints, nervous system, and reproductive system, promoting deep healing from within.
What is Kashaya Vasthi?
Kashaya Vasthi (also called Niruha Vasthi) is a therapeutic enema where a herbal decoction—often combined with honey, rock salt, and a small amount of oil—is administered rectally. This treatment works directly on the large intestine, flushing out accumulated Ama (toxins) and balancing Vata dosha, which governs movement, nerve activity, and elimination.
It’s one of the most potent treatments in Panchakarma, particularly for deep-rooted metabolic, musculoskeletal, digestive, and neurological issues.
