==== Actions of ''basti'' (enema) ====
Action of medicated enemas are not only elimination of ''vata dosha'', but is also eliminates all type of morbid ''doshas'' from all over the body due to its purification action. Due to ''vighata'' (detachment) property, ''vata dosha'' is responsible for detachment of stool, urine, ''pitta'' including other excreta and tissue element. 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.
