In vata dominant individuals anuvasana is indicated daily. Pakvashaya i.e. colon is the site of production of vata. Hence to cure any vata disorder the production of vata has to be hampered which is achieved by giving snehabasti. In vata dominance in koshtha, snehabasti is readily absorbed because vata has ruksha (dry) property (AH. Su. 1/11) that in turn gives dryness to the colonic mucosa which attains proper oleation when comes in contact with basti.
