The concept of karma, kala and yoga basti denotes the use of basti therapy as per the severity of the disease. Generally diseases of vital organs like brain, heart, kidney etc. are considered more serious in nature and dosha vitiation is so severe that repeated medicated enema for long duration is a must hence karma basti is used in such instances. Another view suggests that 18 unctuous enema cause oleation of semen (Su. Chi. 37/71-74) Thus karma basti is meant for body elements which are far apart for the unctuousness to reach like shukra (semen), majja (bone marrow) etc. Yogabasti is the smallest duration or schedule that is required generally for healthy individuals doing cleansing according to particular season or in patients having disease newly diagnosed or of less severe nature. Kala basti is used in conditions which are in between the highly severe, chronic and less severe, newly diagnosed category. | The concept of karma, kala and yoga basti denotes the use of basti therapy as per the severity of the disease.
