My mom does ayurveda regularly and she suggested basti for my back issues. But im 5 months pregnant now and not sure if its safe in this condition. Has anyone done it during pregnancy?
Whoa, basti during pregnancy sounds risky to me! Carrying two babies made me realize even basic things can trigger cramps, let alone an Ayurvedic enema. Better skip these experiments for now and ask your doctor if you are having constipation.
Basti is an intense Ayurvedic treatment, and during pregnancy, any kind of enema can cause uterine contractions. You should absolutely not do this without checking with your gynac first. Safety of the baby comes first, so please be cautious.
Honestly, I don't know much about the medical side of this, but during my pregnancy, I avoided any kind of detox treatments or enemas. I preferred sticking to simple home food and standard checkups. Please ask your doctor once to be safe.
In our family, elders sometimes suggest Ayurvedic practices for easy delivery, but we must be careful. My mother-in-law also said not to do such things without consulting. Please ask your gynecologist, as pregnancy is a very delicate time.
I am still trying to conceive, but from what I have read, we have to be very careful with Ayurvedic treatments. It might be better to ask an expert before doing anything like basti. Wishing you all the best.
