Matra vasti is a type of sneha vasti – fat enema. It has been highly praised for its extensive and multi-dimensional use. The dose of matra vasti is half that of anuvasana vasti i.e. half of 3 pala or 12 tola. Thus the dose of matra vasti is 1 ½ pala or 6 tola (72 grams approximately). Charaka and vagbhata are of the opinion that the dose of matra vasti should be equal to that of hrisva sneha matra (minimum dosage of oral consumption of sneha).
