I'm wondering if it's okay to get uttar basti administered a few hours after dinner, maybe around bedtime. Is it safe or effective to do it at night before sleeping?

Yes, you can undergo uttar basti at night after 3 hours of dinner. It is recommended to have a light meal before the procedure. For men, uttar basti can be undertaken at night before sleep. You can use the Ayurvedic medicine brand "Dhanvantaram" for uttar basti administration. The recommended dosage is as per the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.
