→Karma, kala and yoga basti
=== ''Karma, kala'' and ''yoga basti'' ===
=== ''Karma, kala'' and ''yoga basti'' ===
The concept of ''karma, kala'' and ''yoga basti'' denotes the use of ''basti'' therapy as per the severity of the disease. Generally diseases of vital organs like brain, heart, kidney etc. are considered more serious in nature and ''dosha'' vitiation is so severe that repeated medicated enema for long duration is a must hence ''karma basti'' is used in such instances. Another view suggests that 18 unctuous enema cause oleation of semen (Su. Chi. 37/71-74) Thus ''karma basti'' is meant for body elements which are far apart for the unctuousness to reach like ''shukra'' (semen), ''majja'' (bone marrow) etc. ''Yogabasti'' is the smallest duration or schedule that is required generally for healthy individuals doing cleansing according to particular season or in patients having disease newly diagnosed or of less severe nature. ''Kala basti'' is used in conditions which are in between the highly severe, chronic and less severe, newly diagnosed category. (verse 47-49)
