Therapeutic enema is a fast acting safe and effective therapy better than therapeutic purgation. Nourishing therapeutic enema is contraindicated in the diseases suitable for purification and depleting therapeutic enema is contraindicated in weak, emaciated and debilitated persons. Specific drugs can be added to the main recipe of therapeutic enema in accordance to the ''dosha'' etc. to make it more effective. In this chapter, three formulations for therapeutic enema each for ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha''; four formulations each for cleansing the colon, for enhancing semen & muscle and for astringent action; two formulations each for stopping excessive discharge, burning sensation, cutting pain in anal region, tenesmus, over action of therapeutic enema; Three formulations for excessive life threatening bleeding; two formulations for bleeding disorder and one formulation of therapeutic enema for excessive urination including diabetes are described. − − − − === Introduction === − + + + − + − ===Sanskrit text, Transliteration and English Translation=== + + + Line 41:

Children and aged person are unfit for virēchana, on account of former having not attained completely developed dhātu (tissues) and bala (strength) and the latter due to excessive diminution of dhātu and bala. Asthāpana type of basti (decoction based therapeutic enema) in both the cases is most suitable procedure and the one that can produce all the desired actions. This basti therapy instantaneously provides bala, varṇa (complexion), harsha (exhileration), mārdava (softness) and snēhā (unctuousness) to the body of the persons.(6-7½)+ + − + + + − अनुवासनं निरूहश्चोत्तरबस्तिश्च स त्रिविधः||८|| + − शाखावातार्तानां सकुञ्चितस्तब्धभग्नरुग्णानाम् | + − विट्सङ्गाध्मानारुचिपरिकर्तिरुगादिषु च शस्तः||९|| + − उष्णार्तानां शीताञ्छीतार्तानां तथा सुखोष्णांश्च| + − तद्योग्यौषधयुक्तान् बस्तीन् सन्तर्क्य विनियुज्यात्||१०||+ − anuvāsanaṁ nirūhaścōttarabastiśca sa trividhaḥ||8|| + − śākhāvātārtānāṁ sakuñcitastabdhabhagnarugṇānām | + − viṭsaṅgādhmānāruciparikartirugādiṣu ca śastaḥ||9|| + − uṣṇārtānāṁ śītāñchītārtānāṁ tathā sukhōṣṇāṁśca| + − tadyōgyauṣadhayuktān bastīn santarkya viniyujyāt||10||+ + − anuvAsanaM nirUhashcottarabastishca sa trividhaH||8|| + − shAkhAvAtArtAnAM saku~jcitastabdhabhagnarugNAnAm | + − viTsa~ggAdhmAnAruciparikartirugAdiShu ca shastaH||9|| + − uShNArtAnAM shItA~jchItArtAnAM tathA sukhoShNAMshca| + − tadyogyauShadhayuktAn bastIn santarkya viniyujyAt||10||+ − The basti is of three types viz: anuvāsana basti (enema with fatty substance like oil etc), nirūha basti (enema with herbal decoction, honey, rock salt, herbal paste and fatty substance) and uttara basti (trans- urethral/vaginal administration of medicine).

<big>''' Abstract </big>'''
<p style='text-align:justify;'>This chapter deals with the effective formulations used as therapeutic enema in specific diseases by using disease specific drugs, considering the underlying factors in the disease and the patient.

Specific drugs can be added to the main recipe of therapeutic enema in accordance to the ''[[dosha]]'' etc. to make it more effective. In this chapter, three formulations for therapeutic enema each for ''[[vata]], [[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]''; four formulations each for cleansing the colon, for enhancing semen and muscle and for astringent action; two formulations each for stopping excessive discharge, burning sensation, cutting pain in anal region, tenesmus, over action of therapeutic enema; Three formulations for excessive life threatening bleeding; two formulations for bleeding disorder and one formulation of therapeutic enema for excessive urination including diabetes are described. </p>

Contraindications of nourishing enema and purifying enema shall be considered as per suitability of conditions during administration. Formulations of therapeutic enema for the treatment of specific ''dosha'' like ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'' and disease like excessive discharge, burning sensation, cutting pain in anal region, tenesmus, complications due to over action of therapeutic enema, life threatening bleeding, bleeding disorder and excessive urination including diabetes, colon cleansing, astringent effect and to enhance semen and muscle tissue are described in this chapter.

In the previous chapter various diseases particularly of vital organs like heart, brain and kidney are described.

Certain drugs should be added later on to the main formulation of ''basti'' in accordance to the ''dosha'' and desired effect to make it more effective. As a general rule ''basti'' prepared from strong drugs should be used in chronic and severe diseases and ''basti'' prepared from mild drugs should be used in mild diseases.

''[[Basti]]'' if properly administered in accordance to the strength of the patient, ''[[dosha]]'', time, nature of the disease and constitution of the person by using the specific group of drugs prescribed for the treatment of the respective diseases will cure those diseases. No other therapeutic procedure is equivalent to ''[[basti]]'' as far as its actions like rapid and comfortable cleansing, immediate depletion and replenishment and is devoid of complications. [4-5]

Although ''[[virechana]]'' (therapeutic purgation) does eliminate the ''[[dosha]]'' but the drugs used for ''[[virechana]]'' are ''katu'' (pungent), ''teekshna'' (sharp) and ''ushna'' (hot) in nature, unpleasant in taste and causes ''duhkha'' (discomfort), ''udgara'' (eructations), ''utklesha'' (nausea) and ''koshtharuja'' (pain in gastro-intestinal tract). Children and aged person are unfit for ''[[virechana]]'', on account of former having not attained completely developed ''[[dhatu]]'' (tissues) and ''bala'' (strength) and the latter due to excessive diminution of ''[[dhatu]]'' and ''bala''. ''Asthapana'' type of ''[[basti]]'' (decoction based therapeutic enema) in both the cases is most suitable procedure and the one that can produce all the desired actions. This ''[[basti]]'' therapy instantaneously provides ''bala'', ''varna'' (complexion), ''harsha'' (exhilaration), ''mardava'' (softness) and ''sneha'' (unctuousness) to the body of the persons.[6-7½]

The ''[[basti]]'' is of three types viz: ''anuvasana [[basti]]'' (enema with fatty substance like oil etc.), ''niruha [[basti]]'' (enema with herbal decoction, honey, rock salt, herbal paste and fatty substance) and ''uttara basti'' (trans- urethral/vaginal administration of medicine). The ''[[basti]]'' is beneficial for the patients who are suffering with the affliction of ''shakha'' (extremities) by ''[[vata]], sankuchita'' (contractures), ''stabdha'' (stiffness), ''bhagna'' (fractures), ''vitsanga'' (constipation), ''adhmana'' (gaseous distention of abdomen), ''aruchi'' (anorexia), ''parikartika'', (cutting pain in anal region), rug (pain) etc. ''ushnartanam'' (patients afflicted with heat) should be given cold ''[[basti]]'' and for ''sheetartanam'' (those who are afflicted with cold) should be given warm ''[[basti]]'' by using suitable drugs based on proper reasoning.

Tattva Vimarsha:
Thus, completes the tenth chapter entitled as successful therapeutic enema of [[Siddhi Sthana]] of the treatise compiled by Agnivesha, revised by Charaka and supplemented by Dridhabala because of its non-availability. [10]
== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==
*In order to attain curative effects, ''[[basti]]'' should be properly administered in accordance to the strength of the patient, ''[[dosha]]'', time, nature of the disease and constitution of the person by using the specific group of drugs prescribed for the treatment of the respective diseases.
*''[[Basti]]'' (trans rectal drug administration through enema) is the fast acting and comfortable cleansing therapy that any other therapeutic procedures. It can lead to immediate depletion and replenishment.
*The ''[[basti]]'' is advantageous over ''[[virechana]]'' (therapeutic purgation) as it can be administered in children and old age with comfortable cleansing effect.
*''[[Basti]]'' is beneficial for the patients of affliction of ''[[vata]]'' disorders including conditions like ''sankuchita'' (contractures), ''stabdha'' (stiffness), ''bhagna'' (fractures), ''vitsanga'' (constipation), ''adhmana'' (gaseous distention of abdomen), ''aruchi'' (anorexia), ''parikartika'' (cutting pain in anal region), ''rug'' (pain) etc.
Vidhi Vimarsha:
*''Ushnarta'' (patients afflicted with heat) should be given cold ''[[basti]]'' and for ''shitarta'' (those who are afflicted with cold) should be given warm ''[[basti]]'' by using suitable drugs based on proper reasoning.
Apart from selection of basti for treating vāta, it should be selected in accordance to the disease (3).
*Nourishing type of ''[[basti]]'' (''[[brimhana]] anuvasana [[basti]]'') is contraindicated in the persons who are suitable for cleansing treatments and to the patients suffering with the diseases indicated for cleansing treatments like obesity, skin diseases and excessive urination including diabetes.
The concept described in verse 4 can be explained with the example that the kṣāra basti indicated in the treatment of āmavāta may not be suitable if the patient is devoid of bala, with the dominance of vāta dōṣa, vāta prakr̥tī, and in griṣhma rutu (4).
*Cleansing ''[[basti]]'' (''[[shodhana]] asthapana [[basti]]'') is contraindicated in the persons who are suffering from consumption, phthisis, debility, fainting, emaciation, dehydration of the body, as well as in those whose life is sustained due to retention of ''[[dosha]]'' itself.
During emergency where immediate cleansing or rapid nourishment is required without much preparation basti can be safely used (5).
*The specific liquid media for preparing ''[[basti]]'' solution, drugs for preparing formulations and additives shall be decided as per ''[[dosha]]'' dominance and disease specificity. ''[[Basti]]'' formulation can be made more potent and suitable to particular ''[[dosha]]'' or condition by adding appropriate drugs to the main formulation like adding ghee and milk to achieve more aphrodisiac effect.
When the oral root cannot be used for some reasons (e.g. Ca oesophagus, stomach) , basti can be a great help to maintain and nourish the patient by giving yapana, brumhana types of basti. (6-8).
== Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences ) ==
The above principle can be explained by these examples viz. raktapitta is due to excessive heat hence in the treatment cold basti is indicated on the other hand āmavāta is due to excessive cold hence in the treatment hot basti like kṣāra basti is indicated (10).
Always one should take a precaution before selecting the type of basti; cleansing basti should never be given in emaciated, debilitated or dehydrated persons because even mild loss of fluid and electrolytes may result in fall of blood pressure and subsequently shock, replenishing basti should never be given in obesity which may cause further increase in weight and adiposity (11-12).
Apart from selection of ''[[basti]]'' for treating ''[[vata]]'', it should be selected in accordance to the disease (3).
The use of specific āvāpa can be explained with examples viz. uṣakādi gana prativāpa is added in lekhana basti (Su. Ci. 38/82) to achieve more lekhana effect, māmsarasa is added in mustādi yāpana basti (Ca. Si. 12/16-1) to make it more suitable for vāta and to enhance its ability to nourish māmsa dhātū. Uṣṇa Jala is added in basti because it causes ṣrotośodhana and vātānulomana which are essential actions in basti karma apart from its suitability to all dōsha and dhātū (13-17).
The concept described in verse 4 can be explained with the example that the ''kshaara basti'' indicated in the treatment of ''amavata'' may not be suitable if the patient is devoid of ''bala'', with the dominance of ''[[vata dosha]]'', ''[[vata]] [[prakriti]]'', and in ''grishma ritu'' (4).
Mainly cleansing (both purgative and emetic) drugs are used in colon cleansing basti by effectively cleansing pakvāśaya which helps in regulating vāta dōsha, not only in pakvāśaya but all over the body (25-27).
During emergency where immediate cleansing or rapid nourishment is required without much preparation ''[[basti]]'' can be safely used (5).
Mainly aphrodisiac and rejuvenating drugs and high protein substances are used in śukramāṁsalāḥ basti. Few researches were conducted at IPGT&RA, Jamnagar, India on śukramāṁsalāḥ basti by using some of these drugs to find out their effect on seminal parameters and sexual functioning. Positive effect was noted on both of these parameters (28-29). Ref.
''[[Virechana]]'' drugs are unpalatable and may produce some sort of discomfort and not suitable in children and aged people, whereas ''[[basti]]'' can be given in all age groups and capable of producing all type of action. When the drug is unpalatable, oral administration of medicine is difficult and rectal administration can be easily done. ''[[Virechana]]'' may result in severe fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance causing dehydration and subsequent complications hence should be avoided in weak persons like children and aged on the other hand ''[[basti]]'' may not cause such severe fluid loss or electrolyte imbalance hence it is safe to use ''[[basti]]'' in any age group; moreover any desired effect can be achieved by ''[[basti]]'' like by using ''lekhana basti'' one can cause ''lekhana'' ( weight reduction), by using ''vrishya basti'' (aphrodisiac) one can increase the virility.
Both parisrāva and dāha are mainly due to pitta hence milk based basti are advised for these conditions further for effective management of dāha ghee is added and mainly pitta hara drugs are used (32-33).
In parikartikā to manage cutting pain and promote healing cold basti of medicated milk with honey and sugar is advised (34-35).
When the oral root cannot be used for some reasons (e.g. Ca oesophagus, stomach) , ''[[basti]]'' can be a great help to maintain and nourish the patient by giving ''yapana, [[brimhana]]'' types of ''[[basti]]''. [6-8].
The above principle can be explained by these examples viz. ''raktapitta'' is due to excessive heat hence in the treatment cold ''[[basti]]'' is indicated on the other hand ''amavata'' is due to excessive cold hence in the treatment hot ''[[basti]]'' like ''kshara basti'' is indicated (10).
Mainly rakta basti is prepared by using pitta śāmaka, jīvanīya drugs and fresh blood of animals. In jīvādāna and raktapitta there is aggravation of pitta and excessive loss of blood from the body. Based on the principle of dravya sāmānya the fresh blood of specific animals is used along with other jīvanīya (life promoting) drugs as rakta basti to make up for severe blood loss, faster than any other remedial measures, it is a classical example of application of fundamental principle of samanya (38-43).
Basti can be used as rectal route of drug administration in any disease by using specific drugs in accordance to the disease and disease specific basti can be designed. (44-45).
Always one should take a precaution before selecting the type of ''[[basti]]''; cleansing ''[[basti]]'' should never be given in emaciated, debilitated or dehydrated persons because even mild loss of fluid and electrolytes may result in fall of blood pressure and subsequently shock, replenishing ''[[basti]]'' should never be given in obesity which may cause further increase in weight and adiposity (11-12).
The use of specific ''avapa'' can be explained with examples viz. ''ushakadi gana prativapa'' is added in ''lekhana basti'' [Su.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 38/82] to achieve more ''lekhana'' effect, ''mamsarasa'' is added in ''mustadi yapana basti'' [Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 12/16-1] to make it more suitable for ''[[vata]]'' and to enhance its ability to nourish ''[[mamsa dhatu]]''. ''Ushna jala'' is added in ''[[basti]]'' because it causes ''shrotoshodhana'' and ''vatanulomana'' which are essential actions in ''[[basti]] karma'' apart from its suitability to all ''[[dosha]]'' and ''[[dhatu]]'' (13-17).
''Dashamula basti'' for ''[[vata]]'' disorders, ''yashtimadhu ksheera basti'' for ''[[pitta]]'' disorders and ''lekhana basti'' prepared with ''triphala'', alkali and cow urine for ''[[kapha]]'' disorders are some of the common ''[[basti]]'' in practice for specific ''[[dosha]]''.
''[[Vata]] hara'' drugs are used along with fat and meat soup in preparing ''[[basti]]'' for ''[[vata]]'' disorders, ''[[pitta]] hara'' drugs are used along with fat and milk in preparing ''[[basti]]'' for ''[[pitta]]'' disorders and ''[[kapha]] hara'' drugs are used along with alkali, cow urine and little fat in preparing ''[[basti]]'' for ''[[kapha]]'' disorders (19 - 24).
Mainly cleansing (both purgative and emetic) drugs are used in colon cleansing ''[[basti]]'' by effectively cleansing ''pakvashaya'' which helps in regulating ''[[vata dosha]]'', not only in ''pakvashaya'' but all over the body (25-27).
Mainly aphrodisiac and rejuvenating drugs and high protein substances are used in ''shukramamsalaḥ basti''. Few researches were conducted at IPGT&RA, Jamnagar, India on ''shukramamsalaḥ basti'' by using some of these drugs to find out their effect on seminal parameters and sexual functioning. Positive effect was noted on both of these parameters (28-29). Ref.
''Sangrahika basti'' can be of use in chronic conditions of ''atisara'' to arrest fluid loss and dehydration (30-31).
Both ''parisraava'' and ''daha'' are mainly due to ''[[pitta]]'' hence milk based ''[[basti]]'' are advised for these conditions further for effective management of ''daha'' ghee is added and mainly ''[[pitta]] hara'' drugs are used (32-33).
In ''parikartika'' to manage cutting pain and promote healing cold ''[[basti]]'' of medicated milk with honey and sugar is advised (34-35).
''Piccha basti'' is described for the treatment of ''pravahika'', one of the main ingredients of ''piccha basti'' is ''shalmali'' (Ca. Ci. 15/225-229); ''shalmali'' is rich in mucilage content which helps for wound healing. The disease ''pravahika'' is correlated with ulcerative colitis and in clinical practice ''piccha basti''is given in ulcerative colitis shown encouraging result in terms of reduction in symptoms like tenesmus and mucus and blood discharge with stool. ''Shalmali'' is rich in ''picchila'' (slimy) property which causes ''ropana'' (wound healing) and reduces pain hence used in ''pravahana'' in which there is painful mucus discharge with stool (36)
''Nyagrodh'' and similar plants are rich in tannin hence used as astringent to stop diarrhea. In ''atiyoga'' of ''[[basti]]'' there will be excessive diarrhea in order to stop it mainly ''grahi'' (astringent) drugs like ''nyagrodh'' etc. are used. ''Atiyoga'' accounts for depletion of ''[[dhatu]]'' as well as aggravation of ''[[vata]]''; to arrest elimination of ''[[dhatu]]'' astringent drugs are selected and they are administered through medium of milk which is nourishing and also pacifies ''[[vata]]'' (37-38).
Mainly ''[[rakta]] [[basti]]'' is prepared by using ''[[pitta]] shamaka'', ''jeevaniya'' drugs and fresh blood of animals. In ''jeevadana'' and ''raktapitta'' there is aggravation of ''[[pitta]]'' and excessive loss of blood from the body. Based on the principle of ''dravya samanya'' the fresh blood of specific animals is used along with other ''jeevaniya'' (life promoting) drugs as ''[[rakta]] [[basti]]'' to make up for severe blood loss, faster than any other remedial measures, it is a classical example of application of fundamental principle of ''samanya'' (38-43).
''[[Basti]]'' can be used as rectal route of drug administration in any disease by using specific drugs in accordance to the disease and disease specific ''[[basti]]'' can be designed. (44-45).
