There are two main types of ''basti'' according to the composition and the action. ''Anuvasana basti'' is composed of unctuous substance and it is to be retained for minimum nine hours. ''Asthapana basti'' contains mainly decoction with least oil and is evacuated after few minutes. ''Basti'' is administered through ano-rectal route and acting through the ''pakvashaya'' (colon). It is useful in several diseases particularly vata disorders having roots in ''pakvashaya''. It is claimed to be half a treatment or even a complete treatment by ancient practitioners<ref>Agniveśa, Caraka, Dṛḍhabala; Caraka saṁhitā, siddhisthāna , chapter 1/38-40; edited by Yadavji trikamji acharya; Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt. Ltd; 4th edition 1981; P 683-684.</ref>. It is not only a procedure of ''shodhana'' but also providing a recto-colonic route of drug administration.

Previous chapter ([[Bastivyapat Siddhi]]) deals with the ''vyapat'' (complications) arising due to faulty application of ''bastis''. Present chapter begins with the treatment of those patients who developed complications as a result of faulty application of therapies (''karmana viplutanam'') and for the tender persons who are not able to tolerate strong measures. For this purpose, chapter describes mild form of ''niruha bastis''. The ingredients of these ''bastis'' are measured in the unit of ''prasrita''. Therefore the name of the chapter is [[Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi]]. The unit ''prasrita'' is equal to two ''palas'', which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter (1 ''pala''= approx. 50 ml).<ref>Agniveśa, Caraka, Dṛḍhabala; Caraka saṁhitā, siddhisthāna, chapter 8/4 (Cakrapāṇi commentary); edited by Yadavji trikamji acharya; Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt.
