Katibasti is one of the popular practices of Panchakarma as bahi parimarjan chikitsa (external procedure) in Ayurveda. It is a type of snigdha sweda. This is a combo therapy comprising of Synchronized snehana and swedana. Entire effect of Katibasti depends on the duration of procedure, surface area occupied and medicament used. The mode of action of drug i.e. pharmacodynamics depends on the phases involved in pharmacokinetics. In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta has explained the mode of action of external procedures with keen observations. Acharya Charaka says that the drug acts not only by virtue of qualities i.e. Virya but also with dravya prabhava, gunaprabhava and both. Dalhana also described that absorption and penetration depends on the duration and area covered. In this paper, emphasis has been made to explain the pharmacodynamics of kati basti as per Ayurveda in correlation with modern Science.
