Abstract

Basti is one of the most vital measure described in different texts for the internal purification of the body. Panchakarma plays a major role in eradicating the disease and its wide applicability bound Acharyas to describe it as 'Chikitsardha'. Because of its said peculiarities, we decided to search and elaborate its descriptions in various texts starting from the oldest one i.e. Vedas. Basti has been described in nearly all texts starting from Veda, Purana upto Yogic and all Ayurvedic Samhitas. Although various Acharyas described its various types and applications but most of the Ayurvedic Samhitas mentioned Basti especially for pacification of Vata Dosha.
