Basti Class

Discover the healing power of herbs through Basti.

Basti or Vasti in Ayurveda is the term for medicated enemas and also for various special treatments keeping medicated oils on specific parts of the body. Students will learn by performing several of these treatments in a classroom setting. There will be opportunities for students to assist performing and also to receive the various treatments if desired. This course does not cover the much more complex subject nirūha basti and anuvāsana basti (medicated enemas). This course will be offered in person only and be open to healing practitioners.
