THERAPEUTIC ROLE OF TRITIYA BALADI YAPANA BASTI IN KSHEENA SHUKRA: AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Tritiya Baladi Yapana Basti, a specialized Ayurvedic enema therapy, is acclaimed for its Brumhana (nourishing) and Rasayana (rejuvenating) effects. This review highlights its formulation, therapeutic benefits, and clinical relevance, with emphasis on its role in managing Shukra Dosha and Klaibya (sexual debility) as well as old and weak person, prepared with ingredients such as Bala, Atibala, Atmagupta, Apamarga, Yava, and Ghrita, the formulation combines Vrishya, Sukrala, and Vajikarana properties to enhance semen quality and quantity. Traditionally, Yapana Basti is employed to balance Vata and Pitta doshas and its role in Shukra Dosha management[1], expel vitiated elements, and strengthen the body. Its dual action of nourishing Dhatus while eliminating Doshas makes it particularly effective in chronic and degenerative disorders. Clinical observations support its efficacy in improving Shukra Dhatu, vitality, and longevity, even within short treatment durations. This abstract underscore the potential of Tritiya Baladi Yapana Basti as a holistic therapy for reproductive health and systemic rejuvenation, advocating for further research to validate its long-term benefits and expand its therapeutic applications in modern healthcare. Ksheena Shukra is a condition described in Ayurveda that involves reduction in both the quantity and quality of Shukra Dhatu and can be correlated with Oligozoospermia and impaired semen parameters in modern medicine.[2] Vitiation of Vata and Pitta Dosha along with Dhatu Kshaya plays a major role in its pathogenesis[3], and Basti Chikitsa is considered an important treatment for such disorders.[4]
