[Adverse effects of anuvasana basti in contra-indicated conditions] If anuvasana basti is administered to the person who is empty stomach, it goes upwards due to the absence of any obstruction in the passage. In the acute fever, anaemia, jaundice and prameha, anuvasana basti causes excitement of dosha which further leads to Udara roga (obstinate abdominal disease including ascites). In the person suffering from piles, use of anuvasana basti may create obstruction in the piles leading to adhmana (abdominal distension). In the person suffering from anorexia, application of anuvasana basti further diminishes the desire for food. In case of suppression of power of digestion and weakness, the application of anuvasana basti makes the digestive power poorer. If anuvasana basti is administered to the persons suffering from coryza, splenic disorders and such other diseases, it causes the further excitement of dosha which are already aggravated. Therefore, the above mentioned persons are unfit for the administration of anuvasana basti.
