Changes

If the nozzle is obliquely inserted, then the fluid will not flow into the rectum. If the nozzle is shifted from one place to the other, then this may cause anal injury. If the bladder is compressed slowly, then the enema- fluid may not reach the colon. If the bladder is strongly compressed, then the fluid may rush very fast even up to the throat. If the enema- fluid is very cold, then it may cause stiffness. If the enema – fluid is very hot, then it may cause burning sensation and fainting. If the enema – fluid is very unctuous, then it may cause numbness. If the enema- fluid is ''ati ruksha'', then it may cause aggravation of ''vayu''. If the enema – fluid is very thin or added with less quantity of salt, then it may lead to ''ayoga''. If the enema- fluid is administered in large quantity, then it may cause ''ati- yoga''. If the enema-fluid is viscid, then it may cause emaciation of the patient, and it moves in the colon very slowly. If the enema- fluid contains salt in excess, then it may cause burning sensation and diarrhea. Therefore, ''basti'' should be properly administered.[20-221/2]

It is said that the basti should be administered to the patient lying on left lateral side as the grahani and guda are situated on the left side of the body, and the vali (valves) get relaxed. Therefore, basti should be given when the patient is lying on his left side.(24-241/2)
