- Brief Summary
This study is an observational analysis of blood glucose fluctuations during the administration of Niruha Basti, a therapeutic enema procedure used in Ayurveda, especially to treat Vata Vyadhis like general osteoarthritic conditions. Since Niruha Basti is administered on an empty stomach, it may influence blood glucose levels, potentially increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.The study aims to monitor and evaluate these fluctuations using randomized blood sugar measurements before and after the procedure. If blood glucose fluctuations are observed, further research can investigate the underlying cause and potential preventive measures. Statistical analysis will be conducted using repeated measures ANOVA or its non-parametric equivalents
