Changes

If  ''anuvasana basti'' is administered to the person who is empty stomach, it goes upwards due to the absence of any obstruction in the passage. In the acute fever, anaemia, jaundice and ''prameha'', ''anuvasana basti'' causes excitement of ''dosha'' which further leads to ''Udara roga'' (obstinate abdominal disease including ascites). In the person suffering from piles, use of ''anuvasana basti'' may create obstruction in the piles leading to ''adhmana'' (abdominal distension). In the person suffering from anorexia, application of ''anuvasana basti'' further diminishes the desire for food. In case of suppression of power of digestion and weakness, the application of ''anuvasana basti'' makes the digestive power poorer. If ''anuvasana basti'' is administered to the persons suffering from coryza, splenic disorders and such other diseases, it causes the further excitement of ''dosha'' which are already aggravated. Therefore, the above mentioned persons are unfit for the administration of ''anuvasana basti''. [18]
