Treatment: Vasti
How soon can I resume my daily activities after Vasti?
It is generally recommended to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a short period after a Vasti session to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits and optimize the therapeutic effects. Your doctor will advise you on the appropriate resting period based on your individual treatment plan.
Do I need to follow any specific diet or lifestyle during Vasti?
Yes, adherence to specific dietary and lifestyle guidelines is crucial for the success of Vasti therapy. Our doctor will provide personalized recommendations before, during, and after the treatment (known as Paschatkarma) to support the detoxification process and consolidate the therapeutic benefits.
What is the cost of Vasti treatment at Dr. Hridya Ayur Clinic Dubai?
The cost of Vasti treatment depends on the specific type of Vasti, the duration of the therapy, and the unique herbal formulations prescribed for your condition. During your initial consultation, our doctor will assess your needs and provide a detailed treatment plan, including transparent pricing.
Can I perform Vasti at home?
No, Vasti therapy should only be administered by a qualified and experienced Ayurvedic doctor or therapist in a clinical setting. Attempting to self-administer Vasthi at home can be unsafe and may lead to adverse effects. Proper diagnosis, selection of medicaments, and administration techniques are crucial for effectiveness and safety.
What should I expect during a Vasti session?
After an initial consultation and preparatory therapies (like massage and steam), you’ll typically lie on your left side. The medicated solution is gently introduced through a specialized apparatus. Post-procedure, you’ll be advised to rest and follow specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations to maximize the benefits.
Are there any side effects of Vasti therapy?
When performed by qualified and experienced Ayurvedic practitioners, Vasti therapy is very safe. Minor, temporary side effects like mild abdominal discomfort, increased bowel movements, or slight fatigue can occur, which are usually part of the detoxification process. Our doctors closely monitor you throughout the treatment to ensure safety and comfort.
Is Vasti treatment painful?
No, Vasti treatment is generally not painful. Our experienced therapists administer the procedure gently and carefully. You might experience a sensation of fullness or mild abdominal contractions as the medicated solution is introduced, which is normal and temporary.
How many Vasthi sessions are typically required?
The number of sessions varies greatly depending on your individual health condition, the severity of your symptoms, and your treatment goals. Our Ayurvedic doctor will determine a personalized treatment plan, which could range from a few days to several weeks, often as part of a Panchakarma regimen.
Are there different types of Vasti treatments?
Yes, there are several types of Vasti, each with specific purposes. The main categories are:
- Niruha Vasti (Kashaya Vasti): Uses herbal decoctions for strong detoxification and cleansing.
- Sneha Vasti (Anuvasana Vasti / Matra Vasti): Uses medicated oils or ghee for nourishment, lubrication, and Vata pacification. Additionally, localized Vasthis, like Kati Vasti (lower back), Greeva Vasti (neck), Janu Vasti (knees), Shiro Vasti (head), and Netra Vasti (eyes), are used for targeted relief.
