=== Introduction ===

In the previous chapter various diseases particularly of vital organs like heart, brain and kidney are described. Vāta is the main causative factor for these diseases of vital organs and basti is the best therapy for the effective treatment of vāta thereby to maintain the health of vital organs. In the present chapter, effective dosha and disease specific basti formulations are described. Basti can be practiced as a rectal route of drug administration in any disease by using specific drugs in accordance to the strength of the patient, dōsha, season, disease and constitution of the patient. It is fast acting, easier and safe cleansing therapy can cause both nourishment and depletion effect on the body by using the specific drugs. It is better than therapeutic purgation as far as safety and palatability is concerned, can be used in all age groups and can produce any desired effect. Contraindications of nourishing enema and purificatory enema shall be considered as per suitability of conditions during administration. Formulations of therapeutic enema for the treatment of specific dōsha like vāta, pitta and kapha and disease like excessive discharge, burning sensation, cutting pain in anal region, tenesmus, complications due to over action of therapeutic enema, life threatening bleeding, bleeding disorder and excessive urination including diabetes, colon cleansing, astringent effect and to enhance semen and muscle tissue are described in this chapter. Certain drugs should be added later on to the main formulation of basti in accordance to the dōsha and desired effect to make it more effective. As a general rule basti prepared from strong drugs should be used in chronic and severe diseases and basti prepared from mild drugs should be used in mild diseases.
