− | Fourth chapter of Siddhi sthana deals with various formulations of sneha basti (unctuous enema) and management of complications due to its improper administration. Sneha basti formulations, their clinical applications, reasons for snehabasti occlusion, symptoms of impediment, ailments caused by administration of basti on empty stomach, their treatments and matra basti etc. have been explained in detail. Vitiated vata, pitta, kapha, excess food and stools are responsible for impediment and empty stomach administration leads to improper movement of sneha basti. Liquid, hot, light, wholesome food and warm water use are needed to avoid these complications. Continuous excess use of both anuvasana and niruha is to be avoided as they cause utklesha- agnimandya (aggravation of kapha-pitta dosha, decrease in digestion and metabolic process) and vata prakopa (vitiation of vata) respectively. Matra basti, that is similar to lowest dose of oleation, can be used in any season with no dietary restrictions. | + | Fourth chapter of [[Siddhi Sthana]] deals with various formulations of ''sneha basti'' (unctuous enema) and management of complications due to its improper administration.
