Abstract

Basti is a medical practice in Ayurveda when the medicine is administered anally. In ancient times, doctors would administer medicinal emesis using the urine bladders of sheep, cows, and buffalo. Acharya Charka consideredBasti as Ardha chikitsa invata Pradhan diseases.The closest aperture is the anus, and the main location of the vatadosha is the Pakwashaya (big intestine). Once excessive doshas are eliminated through the anus, the drug administered this way acts on the enlarged dosha to return it to a homeostatic state.For Vata kaphapradhan illnesses,Acharya Charaka has prescribed HapushadiYapana Basti.Both sickness and its symptoms can be cured with Basti.HapushadiYapana Basti, a subtype of Asthapana Basti, possesses the ability to nourish life and encourage longevity.Yapana Basti carries out both the Shodhana and Snehana functions, which are completed by Niruha and Sneha Basti, respectively. Swastha, Atura, and Vruddha all make reference to it, suggesting that it is a preventive, curative, and primordial practice. It can be given to all age groups and in all seasons at all times.
