The book “Principles and Practice of Vasti” written
by us, is based on our experience covering every aspect
of vasti karma. This includes wide coverage of theoretical
aspects from most of the texts and their practical
interpretations. There are practical ideas about commonly
used vastis for diseases which we see in our day today
clinical practice. Modern correlation, possible mode
of action, collection of herbs and procedures of all the
vastis are also added. The complications of vasti are
critically analyzed and their practical management is
stressed. There are certain issues which we do not
know; in that context the textual aspect is dealt as
such. We hope we will be able to answer those things
in future or in the future editions. We have done more
than ten thousand vastis in our practice and every
word of this book is based on that experience. We are
continuing our work on vasti and research on the applied
aspect of the same, in various clinical conditions.
Uttaravasti is also being practised. We have seldom
seen complications if we do vastis with proper care
and precautions.
