The main constituent of this madhutailika basti is honey (madhu) and sesame oil (tila taila). Madhu is yogavahi (drug carrier) in nature due to which it spreads to minute channels (sukshma srotasa) and increases potency of basti. Tila taila is snigdha (unctuous), madhura (sweet) and ushna (hot) in nature. It reduces laghu (light to digest) and ruksha (dry) properties of vata.  Saindhava has laghu, snigdha guna. It reaches micro channels and causes liquefaction of dosha. Erandamula is vata-kaphaghna in nature. The most of the contents of this [[Basti|basti]] are vata-kaphaghna in nature.
 +
 +
[[Prameha Chikitsa|Madhumeha]] is one of the [[Kapha|kapha]] and [[Kleda|kleda]] dominant [[Vyadhi|disease]] with vitiation of [[Mamsa dhatu
 +
|mamsa]], [[Meda|meda]], [[Rasa|rasa]], and [[Ojas|ojas]]. Madhutailika basti purifies the vitiated components with the help of honey and salt. It breaks the bondage of [[Dosha|dosha]] (doshasanghata) and purifies channels (srotoshodhana). It enhances [[Bala|strength (bala)]] and digestion ([[Agni|agni]]) leading to proper nourishment of [[Dhatu|dhatu]]. In medoroga, functions of [[Agni|agni]] are disturbed leading to improper formation of [[Dhatu|dhatu]] and only [[Meda dhatu|meda dhatu]] is excessively formed. Madhutailika [[Basti|basti]] owing to its vata-kaphaghna nature helps in medoroga as well as it cleans the channels. Madhu and tila taila are medohara in nature. Hence they help in breaking the pathogenesis.

Also, [[Basti|basti]] improves functioning of [[Agni|agni]] and stimulates sequential formation of good quality [[Dhatu|dhatu]].

This [[Basti|basti]] contains decoction of castor plant (Erandamula Kwatha), which is the best for pacifying [[Vata dosha|vata]]. As this [[Basti|basti]] reaches microchannels and does liquefaction of [[Dosha|doshas]], it produces balya , varnya , deepana and brimhana effects.

Probable mode of action

The main constituent of this madhutailika basti is honey (madhu) and sesame oil (tila taila). Madhu is yogavahi (drug carrier) in nature due to which it spreads to minute channels (sukshma srotasa) and increases potency of basti. Tila taila is snigdha (unctuous), madhura (sweet) and ushna (hot) in nature. It reduces laghu (light to digest) and ruksha (dry) properties of vata. Saindhava has laghu, snigdha guna. It reaches micro channels and causes liquefaction of dosha. Erandamula is vata-kaphaghna in nature. The most of the contents of this basti are vata-kaphaghna in nature.

Madhumeha is one of the kapha and kleda dominant disease with vitiation of [[Mamsa dhatu |mamsa]], meda, rasa, and ojas. Madhutailika basti purifies the vitiated components with the help of honey and salt. It breaks the bondage of dosha (doshasanghata) and purifies channels (srotoshodhana). It enhances strength (bala) and digestion (agni) leading to proper nourishment of dhatu. In medoroga, functions of agni are disturbed leading to improper formation of dhatu and only meda dhatu is excessively formed. Madhutailika basti owing to its vata-kaphaghna nature helps in medoroga as well as it cleans the channels. Madhu and tila taila are medohara in nature. Hence they help in breaking the pathogenesis.

Also, basti improves functioning of agni and stimulates sequential formation of good quality dhatu. In Udavarta, there is reverse movement of vata, basti is the best treatment to provide natural direction to vata dosha. This basti contains decoction of castor plant (Erandamula Kwatha), which is the best for pacifying vata. As this basti reaches microchannels and does liquefaction of doshas, it produces balya , varnya , deepana and brimhana effects.
