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 ''pravahan'' 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 grāhi (astringent) drugs like nyagrōdh etc are used. Atiyoga accounts for depletion of dhātū as well as aggravation of vāta; to arrest elimination of dhātū astringent drugs are selected and they are administered through medium of milk which is nourishing and also pacifies vāta (37-38).
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).
