There is debate in Ayurveda community on action of ''basti'' i.e. whether ''basti'' have local action or systemic action. The example coated by Charaka: "as sun located high in the sky dries up moisture of earth, in the same fashion ''basti'' situated in the ''pakvashaya'' due to its potency draws the ''doshas'' present in the entire body, similarly, ''basti'' acts locally as well as systemically". To exert systemic effect the active ingredients of ''basti'' need to be absorbed. In general osmosis, pH difference, active absorption, facilitated diffusion, electrochemical gradient, micelles facilitated transportation etc. are the methods of intestinal absorption. Hence composition of ''basti'' need to be compounded in such a way so that the active ingredients of ''basti'' are absorbed by following any one of the principles as explained earlier. Further ''basti dravya'' also need to address intestinal motility related issues.

When we analyze the method of ''niruha basti'' preparation i.e ''kashaya, kalka, sneha, saindhavalavana'' etc. clearly indicates that ''basti kalpana'' is made very carefully to maintain desired pH, osmotic pressure, micelle formation etc.
