Changes

Persons who are habituated to take dry food, having strong digestive capacity, those indulged in physical exertion, sufferers of ''vata'' disorders, whose pelvic and hip regions are afflicted with ''vata'' and who are suffering from ''udavarta'' should be given ''anuvasana'' every day. As the water falling on sand gets absorbed immediately, similarly the fat given to these patients gets immediately digested. In case of others the ''agni'' generally digests ''sneha'' in three days. [46-47]

Advice regarding basti administration:

 

• Plain/ unprocessed fat should not be used for anuvasana basti as it produces abhishyanda (stuffiness) in the rectum.  

Advice regarding ''basti'' administration:

• Some portion of fat should be allowed to remain in basti because in attempt to give complete basti, some portion of vata also goes inside.

*Plain/ unprocessed fat should not be used for ''anuvasana basti'' as it produces ''abhishyanda'' (stuffiness) in the rectum.  

• Use of fats orally and through basti simultaneously should be avoided as it vitiates vata and agni. (48-49)
