Introduction
=== Introduction ===
The previous chapter “Panchakarmiya Siddhi” dealt with the indications and contra-indications of pancahakarma and its applications. Now one of the content of Kalpana Siddhi, “basti kalpana” is elobarated in the present chapater. Basti chikitsa is regarded as the prime treatment modality among the panchakarma. It not only has curative action, but also has preventive and promotive actions. Basti therapy is considered as chikitsārdha (half of major treatments) among all therapy and some physicians even recognize it as a complete therapy because basti has a wide therapeutic area. It not only cures vātika disorders but also samsarga and sannipāta condition of dosha, kaphaja and pittaja disorder, shākhāgata (diseases of limbs) and koshţhagata rogas (diseases of GIT) by making various permutations and combinations of different types of medicaments. Considering this rationale the third chapter is devoted for basti karma and given first place in the Siddhi sthana among the panchakamra.

Basti is not merely termed as ‘enema’; rather it is a highly complex, sophisticated, and systemic therapy having a wide range of therapeutic actions and indications. It is considered as prime treatment modality for vata dosha. Contrary to this, enema is simply used for evacuation of colon and in few instances to rehydrate for therapeutic purpose.
