Karma, Kala and Yoga Basti: The 30, 16 and 8 Session Courses

Karma, Kala and Yoga Basti are not three different therapies, only three course lengths, 30, 16 or 8 sittings, of the same Panchakarma Basti treatment.

Key Takeaways
  • Karma, Kala and Yoga Basti are course lengths, not separate therapies: 30, 16 and 8 sittings of the same Panchakarma Basti treatment.
  • Course length is set by the doctor at consultation, never chosen by the patient alone.
  • Each sitting is an Anuvasana (oil) or Asthapana/Niruha (decoction) Basti, given in a set alternating sequence.
  • Care and management support only, no cure claim. Outcomes vary.
  • Anuvasana Basti is ₹1,000 per sitting, Asthapana (Niruha) Basti is ₹1,300 per sitting. Call 8698282507.

What Do Karma, Kala and Yoga Basti Actually Mean?

In short: Karma Basti, Kala Basti and Yoga Basti are the Ayurvedic terms for a full 30-sitting, medium 16-sitting and short 8-sitting Panchakarma Basti course, named by length rather than by a different therapy.

Karma Basti runs 30 sittings, Kala Basti runs 16, Yoga Basti runs 8. All three use the same two Basti types, Anuvasana (oil) and Niruha (decoction), in a set alternating sequence; only the sitting count and course depth change.

Anuvasana

Oil-based, gentler, the more frequent sitting.

Niruha

Decoction-based, spaced through the course.

Doctor-set length

30, 16 or 8 sittings, decided at consultation.

How Do the 30, 16 and 8 Sitting Courses Differ?

Karma Basti's 30 sittings suit long-standing, deep-seated Vata disorders. Kala Basti's 16 sittings suit a moderate imbalance. Yoga Basti's 8 sittings suit a milder pattern, or maintenance after an earlier course. The doctor matches length to condition; it is never a patient's own choice.

Per-sitting rates are below; the total course fee depends on the prescribed mix, confirmed at the ₹300 consultation.

How Does a Single Basti Sitting Run, and What Does It Cost?

A sitting opens with a light meal (Anuvasana) or an empty stomach (Niruha), a brief oil massage, then the Basti itself, followed by supervised rest. Which type runs on a given day follows the set sequence.

Who Should Book a Basti Course Consultation?

Book if a doctor has already suggested Panchakarma for a Vata disorder, or you simply want help choosing between a short Yoga Basti and a longer Kala or Karma Basti course for your condition. A consultation and screening always come before the first sitting of any course.

Basti courses run in person at Ghorpadi and Manjri Bk, Hadapsar (full Panchakarma). Wagholi refers Basti to Ghorpadi or Hadapsar. Kharadi and Viman Nagar are online-only; sittings are scheduled at Ghorpadi or Hadapsar.
Response differs from person to person, and no result is promised. This page is educational and does not replace a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cure my condition permanently?

No. This is care and management support for a Vata-type disorder, never a cure claim. Outcomes vary, and the course is reviewed sitting by sitting, not promised in advance.

How is the course length decided?

The doctor sets Karma (30), Kala (16) or Yoga (8) Basti based on how deep-seated the Vata disorder is, assessed at consultation. It is never the patient's own choice.

Can a Yoga Basti course be extended into a Kala or Karma Basti later?

Yes, some patients start with a shorter course and move to a longer one if the doctor finds it needed, reviewed sitting by sitting rather than fixed from day one.

What does a full Karma, Kala or Yoga Basti course cost?

The total depends on the mix of Anuvasana (₹1,000 per sitting) and Niruha (₹1,300 per sitting) sittings, confirmed at your ₹300 consultation, never estimated in advance.
