Do you often feel bloated after meals, have a sensitive stomach or experience that digestion doesn’t work properly? Nabhi Basti is a classic Ayurvedic treatment that is suitable for those who want to give the stomach and digestion extra support. The treatment can be a great addition to conditions such as bloating, constipation, an upset stomach, IBS-like symptoms or a feeling that the stomach rarely feels really calm.
Because the navel area has a close connection to both digestion and the pelvis, Nabhi Basti is also used in Ayurveda as a support in treatments that focus on reproductive health and fertility. In this case, it is often combined with other treatments and an individual approach.
During the treatment, a small container of dough is built up around the navel, filled with warm, herb-infused oil. The oil is left to work for a longer period of time, followed by a gentle massage over the abdomen and lower back. The combination of heat, oil, and gentle movements helps stimulate circulation and allow the area to recover.
