Water enema
I have recently started doing water enema (jal basti). This has helped me quite a lot with my chronic constipation. I wanted to ask if I can continue to do this on a daily basis? Is Jal Basti safe?

Yes jal basti can be used to treat constipation. But it should not be done daily as practice. You need to find the cause of your constipation and get it cured. Jal basti will.only be helpful in avoiding furthur effects of constipation. Also If used daily for longer periods it can cause harm to your intestines.
