<li>Basti (asthapana and anuvasana) is important as it is the prime treatment for vata. Vata is the reason for the diseases originating in peripheral tissues (shakha), visceral organs (koshtha), vital points of the body (marma), upper part of the body (urdhva), entire body (sarvavayava) and individual parts of the body (anga). The same vata is responsible for separating and combining stool, urine, pitta, etc. at their sites. As basti is supreme in managing vata, it is said to be half of the entire therapeutics. [Cha.Sa. Siddhi Sthana 1/38-40]<ref name="ref1" /></li></ul>
