'''Saindhava lavana (rock salt):''' Saindhava lavanais the purest form of rock salt, considered the best among all varieties of salt and advisable for daily consumption. It possesses 85% NaCl and 15% trace materials, whereas anothersaltcontains 97% NaCl.It is salty and slightly sweet in taste; madhuravipaka (sweet post digestive effect), sheetaveerya (cold potency), light to digest and unctuous in nature. In bastitherapy, rock salt is added to prepare an emulsion. It helps to dissolve and expel dosha from the intestines.<ref>Sarker A, Ghosh A, Sarker K, Basu DJ, Sen DJ.

'''Jaggery:''' In vaitarana basti, jaggary is used instead of honey(madhu). Saindhavaalong with jaggary makes a homogenous mixture, to form a solution having properties to permeable the water easily. The retention of the irritative substances may be favored by making its solution as nearly isotonic as possible by using colloidal fluids as a combination of this bastidravya, it also helps in carrying the drug into the micro-cellular level.It also contains polyphenols, a phenolic compound withantioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Jaggery is a very useful substance for oedema patient, when it is consumed along with ardraka, abhaya, sunthi, or pippali. It is also good for the patients with dysuria, constipation, cardiac problems, asthma, allergies, chronic fever, piles, throat and lung infections, malabsorption syndrome (grahani) and kaphavataja roga. <ref>Srivastav P.
