''Anuvasana basti'' and ''asthapana basti'' are considered the best therapy in ''vatika'' disorders.[31] It has been stated that patients suitable for ''asthapana basti'' are suitable for ''anuvasana basti'' is general instruction, because ''krimikoshthi'' and patient suffering from heaviness in the body are suitable for ''asthapana basti'' but not for ''anuvasana basti''. In ''krimikoshthi'', first of all ''asthapana basti'' is administered, then ''vamana'' and ''virechana'' to purify the ''koshtha''. When ''koshtha'' is purified, then ''anuvasana basti'' is advised as it is discussed in [[Vimana Sthana]]. So it should be accepted that instructions given in the text are applicable in most cases, but not in all cases. [19]
