''Asthapana basti'' is contra-indicated in the stage of ''ajeerna''[21] or ''ama''.  ''Asthapana'' and ''anuvasana basti'' are indicated in the treatment of ''baddhodara''[22], so ''baddhodara'' mentioned in the contra-indications of ''asthapana'' should be read as ''baddhodaradhmana'' means it is contraindicated in ''adhmana'' due to ''baddhodara''[23]. ''Asthapana basti'' is contraindicated in ''kushtha roga'' but in a particular stage of the disease, Charaka has exceptionally indicated the ''asthapana'' and ''Anuvasana basti'' [24]. [14]

Āsthāpana-basti is considered the best therapy in vātika disorders. [25] It is given in disorders caused by other dosha. Basti can be administered in the vitiation of vāta, pitta, kapha, saṃsarga (vitiation of two dosha), sannipāta (vitiation of all the three dosha) and even in vitiation of rakta (blood) also.[26]  Application of first asthāpana-basti removes or purifies vāta, second basti removes or purifies pitta and third to kapha dosha [27] , purification of three dosha should be understood of either occlusion or association of vāta with other dosha. Different applications of asthāpana-basti show that by processing and combination with different medicines, it exerts many effects such as saṃśodhana, saṃśamana, saṃgrahaṇa, vājīkaraṇa, bṛṃhaṇa, karśaṇa, vayaḥsthāpana [28]  etc. Type of basti depends upon the nature of disease such as basti given in the condition of vāta-mala sanga will be different in comparison to basti given in shuddhātisāra, basti applied in the case of bala-kṣaya, māṃsa-kṣaya and retas-kṣaya will be of different composition in comparison to basti administered in kṛmikoṣhṭha. In vātika disorders also, only asthāpana-basti is not given for longer duration that’s why karma-basti, kāla-basti and yoga-basti have been discussed by ancient Ācāryas for the rational use of the therapy. In all these types, asthāpana and qnuvāsana basti are administered in a particular sequence for the better efficacy.
