BackgroundSnehapana is the essential step prior to Vamana and Virechana (therapeutic vomiting and purgation). But it was found that 10-15% patients are reluctant towards Snehapana hence may deprive the benefits of Shodhana. These inconveniences made us think about effective alternative to counter drawbacks of Snehapana. On the basis of literature review and pilot study, it was confirmed that, Anuvasana Basti can be administered as an alternative for Snehapana.ObjectiveTo evaluate samyak snigdha lakshana achieved by administration of Anuvasana Basti and to evaluate outcomes of Vamana and Virechana.Materials and methodsSpecially designed basti pouches were used according to doses. In group A, constant dose of processed sesame oil (120Â ml) and rock salt (500Â mg) was used. In group B, the dose was escalating started with 120Â ml and 500Â mg with 25Â ml and 100Â mg increase in sesame oil and rock salt respectively for maximum seven days.ResultsPatients from group B showed better results than group A i.e. 29 patients showed symptoms of proper oleation. Mridu koshtha required minimum dose and duration for getting proper symptoms of oleation. Outcome of Vamana and Virechana were also very promising.ConclusionsHence it can be concluded that Anuvasana Basti in escalating dose can be used as an alternative for Snehapana.
