− | Ayurveda states only two types of therapies i.e. ''samshamana'' (''dosha'' pacifying) and ''samshodhana'' (cleansing). ''Vata'' is responsible for all diseases as beside its own hazards it moves other vitiated dosha also. ''Basti'' has duel nature of action i.e. cleansing with ''dosha'' pacification.
