Answer 2

Basti and Nauli are the two Shatkarmas beneficial for patients suffering from constipation.

• Shatkarmas are a set of 6 techniques that have been borrowed from the Ancient Hindu tradition and are used for the cleansing of various organs of the body. The purpose of this purification is to remove the impurities from the body for it to become easier to attain Moksha (spiritual salvation).
• Since constipation is a disease caused by the blocking of the abdominal tract by undigested faecal matter, it is imperative that techniques that deal with the easing of the abdominal pathway would provide help with constipation.
• Basti is the Yogic name for colonic irrigation. It uses water to flush out unwanted matter from the abdomen and makes it clean.
• Nauli is a form of massage of the abdomen. The muscles of the abdomen are moved through rotation, which helps with bowel movement and gets rid of the problem of constipation.
