*''Basti'' shall always be administered when the patient is lying in left lateral position.

*Penetration and distribution of ''basti'' drugs increases as the number of consequently given ''basti'' increases. The first enema helps in the elimination of ''vata dosha'' from its own site i.e. from large intestine; the second enema helps in the elimination of ''pitta dosha'' from its site i.e. small intestine and duodenum, and the third enema helps in the elimination of ''kapha'' from its site i.e. stomach and upper gastro-intestinal tract.

• The proportion of decoction in preparation of basti formulation shall be decided as per dosha dominance.

*The follow-up diet and lifestyle instructions are important to be followed by patient in order to achieve maximum efficacy of ''basti''.

• The dose of basti differs according to age of patient. The minimum dose for patient of one year is half ~~prasruta~~ (approximately 40 ml) and maximum dose from age 18 years to 70 years is twelve ~~prasruta~~ (approximately 960 ml).

*The proportion of decoction in preparation of ''basti'' formulation shall be decided as per ''dosha'' dominance.

*The dose of ''basti'' differs according to age of patient. The minimum dose for patient of one year is half ''prasrita'' (approximately 40 ml) and maximum dose from age 18 years to 70 years is twelve ''prasrita'' (approximately 960 ml).
