'''Keywords''': Basti, Phala matra, Panchakarma, Sadatura, (always seek), Jimutaka (Luffa echinata), Katu tumbi (Lagenaria siceraria), Dharmagava (Luffa cylindrica), Kutaja (Holorrhena antidysenterica), Kritavedhana (Luffa acutangula), and Madana phala (Randia dumetorum).
+
Various herbs are mentioned as ingredients of enema recipes in the previous chapters. The present chapter deals with therapeutic profile of some of these important and commonly used fruits. To discuss therapeutic efficiency of the fruits, an assemblage under the leadership of Punarvasu Atreya was organized in which scholars like Bhrigu, Kaushika, Kapya, Shaunaka, Pulastya and Asita Gautam participated. Therapeutic properties and efficacy  of  ''jimutaka'' (Luffa echinata), ''dhamargava'' (Luffa cylindrica), ''kutaja'' (Holorrhena antidysenterica), ''kritavedhana''(Luffa acutangula), and ''madana phala'' ( Randia dumetorum) fruits were discussed. At the end of the assemblage, Punarvasu Atreya concluded that each one of the fruit/drug mentioned by the scholars is effective in treating only certain specific conditions and none of them could be considered as a master drug. There is no drug which is entirely free from shortcomings or entirely free from good effects. He asserted that ''madana-phala''( Randia dumetorum) is the best drug which can be used for therapeutic enema with adequate margin of ''safety'' in all possible conditions .

=== Introduction ===
+
''[[Basti]]'' (therapeutic  enema) is defined as the therapy which goes up to the ''nabhi'' (umbilical region), ''kati'' (lumbar region), ''parshva'' (sides of the chest) and ''kukshi'' (pelvic region), churns up the fecal matter including all the other morbid matter located there and appropriately eliminates them. Therapeutic enemas possess all attributes and actions for curing all type of diseases, due to its purifying action by causing downwards movement of ''[[vata]], [[pitta]],'' and ''[[kapha dosha]]s'' as well as feces. Vitiation of ''[[vata dosha]]'' leads to many diseases in ''shakha'' (peripheral tissue elements), ''koshtha'' (visceras of thorax and abdomen), ''marma'' (vital spots including joints), ''urdhva'' (upper part of the body), ''sarvavayava'' (entire body) and ''anga'' (individual parts of the body). Due to ''vikshepa'' (sepration) and ''sanghata'' (combination) properties ''[[vata dosha]]'' is responsible for ''vikshepa'' (separation) and ''sanghata'' (combination) of feces, urine, ''[[pitta dosha]]'' including other excreta and tissue element and sustain body. When ''[[vata dosha]]'' get exceedingly aggravated there is no remedy other than ''[[basti]]'' for its alleviation. Therapeutic enema is also considered an important procedure in the treatment of diseases affecting elephants, camels, cattle, horses, sheep and goats. ''[[Basti]]'' is also an effective treatment for those with chronic sickness of the kinds mentioned above.

==== Views of Shaunaka regarding ''jimutaka'' fruit ====
 +
 
 +
According to Shaunaka, first speaker in the assemblage, among the fruits, ''jimutaka'' (Luffa echinata,) is best drug to be used in medicated enema because it eliminate ''[[kapha]]'' and ''[[pitta dosha]]s'' .
 +
 
 +
==== Views of Vamaka regarding ''katu tumbi'' fruit ====
 +
 
 +
According to Vamaka, due to its low potency, ''jimutaka'' is less effective in disintegrating and voiding of stool, while best emetic drug ''katu tumbi'' (Lagenaria siceraria) is the best drug to be used in medicated enema because it eliminates the ''[[dosha]]'' through enema.
 +
 
 +
==== Views of Asita Gautam regarding ''dhamargava'' fruit ====
 +
 
 +
According to Asita Gautam, ''katu tumbi'' (Lagenaria siceraria) is not an aphrodisiac due to its hot , sharp and  non- unctuous  properties while ''dhamargava'' (Luffa cylindrica) is excellent for eliminating  ''[[kapha dosha]]'' and ''[[pitta dosha]]''. So it may be considered to be the best drug for the medicated enema. [5-6]

According to Badisha, ''dhamargava'' (Luffa cylindrica) aggravates ''[[vata dosha]]'', causes despair and reduces strength of the body, so it is not suitable for medicated enema. While ''kutaja'' (Holorrhena antidysenterica) does not reduce the strength and it alleviates ''[[kapha dosha]]'' as well as ''[[pitta dosha]]'', and thus, should be considered excellent for medicated enema.

</div></div>
According to Kapya, kutaja (Holorrhena antidysenterica) is very viscid, it causes elimination of doshas through emesis and it causes aggravation of vata dosha. So it is not suitable for medicated enema, while kritavedhana (Luffa acutangula) is  promoter of vata dosha and eliminate excessively aggravated kapha dosha and pitta dosha, so it is the best drug for  medicated enema.

While answering above question, Punarvasu Atreya has mentioned that two properties of vata dosha, detachment (vighata) and adhesion (sanga) is responsible for sustaining our body. This means that vata dosha is responsible for the separation (vighata) and combination (sanga) of stool,urine, pitta, kapha including other excretory product and tissue elements. Vata dosha aggravate alone or with the other doshas in its own habitat (i.e.pakvashaya or colon), in this condition medicated enema due to its purification  action causes  alleviation   of vata dosha along with pitta dosha, kapha dosha and feces, because of alleviation of vata dosha all disease of body are cured.

<div style="text-align:justify;">
 +
*Every drug has some good effects as well as some bad effects. There is no drug that is entirely free from shortcomings or entirely free from good effects. Therefore, in disease conditions, drug which posesses superior qualities shall be considered for medicated enemas.
 +
*''Jimutaka'' (Luffa echinata) is useful for the treatment of ''kushtha'' (skin diseases), ''katu tumbi'' (Lagenaria siceraria) is useful for treatment of ''meha'' (urinary disease including diabetes), fruit of ''kutaja'' (Holorrhena antidysenterica) is useful for heart diseases, ''dhamargava'' (Luffa cylindrica) is useful for ''panduroga'' (anemia), ''kritavedhana'' (Luffa acutangula) is useful for ''udara roga'' (abdominal diseases including acidities).
 +
*''Madanaphala'' (Randia dumetorum) is useful for all disease, because it is sweet, slightly astringent as well as bitter in taste, ununctuous and slightly pungent, hot and viscid. It eliminates ''[[kapha]]'' and ''[[pitta dosha]]'', eliminates ''[[dosha]]s'' (three entities regulating function of the body and mind), is harmless and cause downwards movement of ''[[vata dosha]]''. It can be used in all types of purification enemas.
 +
*''[[Vata dosha]]'' is responsible for ''vighata'' (detachment) and ''sanga'' (adhesion) of stool, urine, [[pitta]], ''[[kapha]]'' including other excretory products and tissue elements. Therapeutic enema, due to its purification action causes  alleviation of ''[[vata dosha]]'' along with ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha dosha]]'' and feces leading to disease pacification.
 +
*Therapeutic enema can be used in veterinary medicine for treating various diseases of animals.
 +
*The persons, who always suppress natural urges, never take food in time, always untimely void stool, urine, etc., and resort to untimely different regimens suffer from frequent and continuous illness. Certain persons like priests, king’s servants, courtesans and merchants are frequently sick because of excessive stress of the job and suppression of natural urges.
 +
*''[[Basti]]'' ( therapeutic) is the best treatment for most diseases.

Due to sanga (adhesion) property, vata dosha is responsible for formation all tissue elements, brings about compactness in all the tissue elements of the body and brings together different part of the body.  Vata dosha is the most important causative factor of diseases in shakha (peripheral tissue elements), koshtha (viscera of the thorax and abdomen), Marma (vital points and organs including joints), Urdhva (upper part of the body), sarvavayava (covering the entire body) and anga (individual part of the body). Vata dosha generally gets aggravated in its own habitat and can spread all over body through disease pathways. Since medicated enema causes alleviation of this vata dosha in its basic habitat, others connected to vata dosha elsewhere in the body gets automatically alleviated.

Reasons of frequent or permanent illnesses (verse 27-35):
+
[[Naveganadharaniya Adhyaya]] Verse 3-4.
Certain persons like priests, king servants, courtesans and merchants are frequently sick. This is because of inability to follow proper dietary regimen, improper lifestyle habits, excessive stress due to high responsibility in the job, greediness and suppression of natural urges. These patients are seen in today’s clinical practice. Therefore, their training about the rules given in swastha chatushka (chapters 5 to 8 of Sutra sthana) with basti therapy is important to avoid frequent illnesses.
