This chapter describes recipes of prāsṛtayōgīyā bastis (enema formulation in which ingredients are measured in unit of prasṛta). Prasṛta is a measurement, which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter.  Nine types of basti therapies for various clinical conditions including prameha (urinary disorders including diabetes), abhiṣyanda (oozing), kuṣṭha (skin diseases), krimi (worm infestation), mūtrakṛcchra (dysuria) and alike are described. Atisāra, a clinical condition characterized by frequent defecation with altered composition and consistency of stool is described in detail. Atisāra has various forms depending upon involvement of six morbid components in the pathogenesis viz. āma (stool with undigested material), śakṛt (stool only), vāta (with dominant flatulence), asṛk (stool with blood), pitta and kapha. Different recipes of basti, oral medicaments and food preparations are described to treat these atisāra conditions. These remedies are practically quite useful in several modern diseases like ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

This chapter describes recipes of ''prasritayogiya bastis'' (enema formulation in which ingredients are measured in unit of ''prasrita''). ''Prasrita'' is a measurement, which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter.  Nine types of ''basti'' therapies for various clinical conditions including ''prameha'' (urinary disorders including diabetes), ''abhishyanda'' (oozing), ''kushtha'' (skin diseases), ''krimi'' (worm infestation), ''mutrakrichchra'' (dysuria) and alike are described. ''Atisara'', a clinical condition characterized by frequent defecation with altered composition and consistency of stool is described in detail. ''Atisara'' has various forms depending upon involvement of six morbid components in the pathogenesis viz. ''ama'' (stool with undigested material), ''shakrita'' (stool only), ''vata'' (with dominant flatulence), ''asrik'' (stool with blood), ''pitta'' and ''kapha''. Different recipes of ''basti'', oral medicaments and food preparations are described to treat these ''atisara'' conditions. These remedies are practically quite useful in several modern diseases like ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.
