Niruha basti shows more of cleansing and purifying action whereas anuvasana type of basti is nourishing type. Thus basti is chosen depending upon the desired action. When both the types of basti are used in succession or alternatively, cleansing and tonic both the actions are performed at a time. One type of basti works better when paired with the other type also. Therefore many a times niruha and anuvasana bastis are administered in alternate manner or one after the other.

Basti is a type of Panchakarma which is known as detoxification or cleansing therapy. Since such therapies include administration of strong medicines and immediate elimination of body wastes through different routes of body, it needs careful observation. Therefore it is also extremely important to screen patients for their fitness before undergoing these procedures. Ayurveda scholars have listed certain conditions when the basti should not be given because then it might lead to serious adverse effects. These are called as contraindications for basti and are listed below.
