''Asthapana basti'' is considered the best therapy in ''vatika'' disorders. [25] It is given in disorders caused by other ''dosha''. ''Basti'' can be administered in the vitiation of ''vata, pitta, kapha, samsarga'' (vitiation of two ''dosha''), ''sannipata'' (vitiation of all the three ''dosha'') and even in vitiation of ''rakta'' (blood) also.[26] Application of first ''asthapana basti'' removes or purifies ''vata'', 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 ''vata'' with other ''dosha''. Different applications of ''asthapana basti'' show that by processing and combination with different medicines, it exerts many effects such as ''samshodhana'', ''samshamana'', ''samgrahana'', ''vajikarana, brimhana, karshana, vayahsthapana'' [28] etc. Type of ''basti'' depends upon the nature of disease such as ''basti'' given in the condition of ''vata-mala sanga'' will be different in comparison to ''basti'' given in ''shuddhatisara, basti'' applied in the case of ''bala kshaya, mamsa kshaya'' and ''retas kshaya'' will be of different composition in comparison to ''basti'' administered in ''krimikoshhtha''. In ''vatika'' disorders also, only ''asthapana basti'' is not given for longer duration that’s why ''karma basti, kala basti'' and ''yoga basti'' have been discussed by ancient sages for the rational use of the therapy. In all these types, ''asthapana'' and ''anuvasana basti'' are administered in a particular sequence for the better efficacy.
