Therapy

Lekhana Basti

A decoction enema formulated to scrape rather than nourish, used where fat and cholesterol are the problem.

What it is

A medicated enema using honey, herbal decoctions and powders chosen for their lekhana (scraping) action, which reduces accumulated fat and clears obstructed channels.

What it helps

Obesity, raised cholesterol and triglycerides, PCOS, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. It is typically given as part of a structured course alongside Udvartana and diet correction.

What to expect

Administered in the morning, with a short rest afterwards. Most patients continue their normal day. The schedule and number of sittings are set after assessment.
