Matra Vasthi Therapy in Kerala – Jeevan Homestay, Kovalam
Gentle Ayurvedic Enema Therapy for Nourishment, Strength & Vata Balance
Matra Vasthi is a safe and nourishing form of Ayurvedic enema therapy used to rejuvenate the body, calm the nervous system, and balance Vata dosha. At Jeevan Homestay in Chowara, Kovalam, Matra Vasthi is administered as part of rejuvenation, fertility, and chronic disease management programs, under the close supervision of experienced Ayurvedic doctors.
Unlike cleansing enemas, Matra Vasthi uses a small dose of medicated oil, making it suitable for even children, elderly patients, or those who are weak or recovering from illness.
What is Matra Vasthi?
Matra Vasthi is a gentle, nourishing enema therapy where a small quantity of medicated oil is administered rectally. Unlike other forms of Vasthi (such as Kashaya or Niruha Vasthi), it does not cause purgation, and the oil is retained inside the body to lubricate tissues, improve digestion, soothe nerves, and enhance strength.
This therapy is ideal for Vata-related conditions, especially when detox is not possible due to weakness, age, or post-illness fatigue.
