INTRODUCTION
Human beings are suffering despite access to technological
advances that offer the promise of unequaled improvements in
our quality of life.The flaws in our reliance on a materially
based approach to health are increasingly apparent.Despite
amazing diagnostic machines and designer crafted
medicines,our society is suffering from preventable diseases.
AYURVEDA the ancient system of healing has the
attention & imagination of west.The message of Ayurveda is
simple :
“Health is more than the mere absence of a definable
disease” Rather it is the dynamic integration between our
environment,body,mind & spirit.
The miracle of the human body is that it has a natural
healing intelligence which is capable of constantly rejuvenating
itself.However,when doshic imbalance and weakened digestive
capacity allow toxic impurities to form,this natural capacity of
the body gets blocked.To remedy this situation Ayurveda offers
the gift of “PANCHAKARMA”.
 Basti is one of the superlative treatment modality in
morbid vata dosha. is considered as prime line of
management in case of tridosha, sapta dhatu & in
treatment of avarana like conditions.
 Brihatraye`s suggestive of twelve prasruta is total &
maximum quantity of niruha basti [parama pramana]
However there are references indicative of less than
that amount for e.g: padaheena basti [9 prasruta], chatus
pasrutika, pancha prasrutika[5 prasruta] etc, the purpose
of reduction in the quantity is differing from basti to
basti for e.g: pancha prasrutika basti become so thick
that administration of 12 prasruta is not possible, some
times the ingredients of basti are actually changed
Hence the variation is required.
Basti therapy is the most important procedure of
Panchakarma.
Acharya charaka as well as many later Ayurvedic
scholars,unanimously praised. value the of Basti

 Basti has got multidimensional therapeutic effect. It

can achieve any therapeutic goal. We can achieve
brihamana shodhana, samana, and any desired
therapeutic effect by basti.
 BASTI is an important therapeutic process in which
great is needed in every stage of its administration.
otherwise serious outcome may arise.

in olden days. It also said that medicine
administered through the basti yantra, first
reaches the lower abdominal area of the patient
which contains the organ basti.

CONCEPT OF QUANTITY
As per acharyas , the Niruha basti dravya quantity is
dwadasa prasruta pramana (parama pramana) is
maximum beyond this should not administer.
However there are references indicative of less than that
amount for e.g: padaheena basti [9 prasruta], chatus
pasrutika, pancha prasrutika[5 prasruta] etc cha. Si. 8 th
chap. the purpose of reduction in the quantity is
differing from basti to basti for e.g: pancha prasrutika
basti become so thick that administration of 12 prasruta
is not possible, some times the ingredients of basti are
actually changed .
Hence the variation is required.
CONCEPT OF QUALITY
 Naatiushnata,Naatiseetata,Naatidravata,
Naatisandrata, Naatimriduta,Naatikshnata,
Naamata,Naatisnigdhata,Naatirukshata,
Naatimatra,Nahinamatra,
 in spite of the fact that the administered
basti dravya resides in the pakwashaya , its
action can be evidently seen far beyond this
mentioned site. The working line of basti
action can be explained on the basis of
alignment of all the types of vayu to take up
the veerya and spread it all over the body, for
desired results.
CONCEPT OF CONSISTENCY
Even after mixing the basti , according
to the order makshikam lavanam
………..up to aawapa dravyam , the
consistency would varies from one
basti to another , ex- pancha
prasrutika basti , piccha basti ,
veteran basti all are varying from one
another .
