In ''vatika'' disorders also, only ''asthapana basti'' is not given for longer duration that’s why ''karma basti, kala basti'' and ''yoga basti'' have been discussed by ancient sages for the rational use of the therapy. In all these types, ''asthapana'' and ''anuvasana basti'' are administered in a particular sequence for the better efficacy.
