Ayurveda is an ancient medical science and has a solution for this situation in the form of Panchakarma. As stress and busy life schedule cause the vitiation of Vata, among Panchakarmas -especially Basti is very effective in maintaining our healthy life because Basti maintains the proper functions of Vata. When Vata has maintained properly then the normal physiological body function runs properly and decrease the chances of disease. As Vata regulates all functions of our body, we should maintain the equilibrium of Vata in our body to keep it healthy. Basti is also very useful to maintain the disorder of Vata such as hemiplegia, muscular dystrophy, sciatica, Parkinsonism, cerebral palsy. Along with digestion and metabolism, Basti maintains our inner beauty as well as our outer beauty. Conclusion: Basti is very useful in infertility. It is also useful in mental disorders. That__ampersandsignrsquo;s why Acharyas say,__ampersandsignrdquo; Basti is half treatment for any diseases__ampersandsignrdquo;. Basti is not only useful for a diseased person but also in healthy persons. In diseased person it cures disease and in normal person it maintains health.&#13;
