Varti (Medicated Suppository / Wick)
in Bengaluru

Varti is an Ayurvedic medicated suppository or wick. Depending on the condition, it is inserted into the rectum (Guda Varti) for constipation, the vagina (Yoni Varti) for gynecological issues, or into deep fistulas/wounds (Vrana Varti) to promote healing from the inside out.

Clinical Benefits

  • Induces rapid bowel movement in severe, obstinate constipation (Phalavarti)
  • Clears thick, fungal or bacterial vaginal discharge (Leukorrhea)
  • Cleanses and heals deep sinus tracts and fistulas (Fistula-in-ano)
  • Delivers highly localized medicine without systemic side effects

Clinical Procedure

1. Preparation (Purvakarma)

  • Herbal powders are mixed with binders (like honey, jaggery, or ghee) and rolled into a smooth, cone-like or cylindrical shape, then dried in the shade.

2. Main Action (Pradhana Karma)

The Varti is lubricated with ghee or oil and gently inserted into the specific orifice or wound tract.

3. Post-Therapy (Paschatkarma)

  • The patient rests. For rectal Varti, the patient waits for the urge to defecate (usually within 15-30 minutes).

Patient FAQs

Are Ayurvedic suppositories safe?

Yes, they are made entirely of natural herbs and binders (like rock salt, jaggery, and honey). Unlike chemical laxatives, they stimulate the bowel through natural osmotic pressure and herbal action without causing dependency.
