sanskrit

[Rehabilitation diet after purification] Sansarjana karma (rehabilitation diet) should be initiated from the same evening or the next day after vamana (therapeutic emesis). The patient should take bath with lukewarm water. [First, Second and Third meal] His first meal should consist of a lukewarm gruel (manda) prepared with an old, red variety of shali rice (Oryza sativa Linn.), well cooked with fourteen times water by volume. The gruel should be very thin and liquid, taking into consideration the weakened digestive power of the patient. It should be repeated for the second and third meal. [Fourth, Fifth and Sixth meal] For the fourth meal, a gruel (vilepi) prepared with four times water by volume and with red shali rice, well cooked, warm and without unctuous substance or salt, or with a small quantity of unctuous substance and salt should be given. Warm water is to be taken after the intake of gruel. The same type of diet is to be continued for the fifth and sixth meal. [Seventh, Eighth and Ninth meal] For the seventh meal again, well cooked rice (odana) prepared with red shali rice of two prasrita (approximately 160 gram) along with a very thin soup of mudga ( green gram, Phaseolus mungo Lines.) , added with a small quantity of unctuous substance and salt should be given. Warm water should be given to the patient after his consuming the porridge. The same diet is to be repeated for the eighth and the ninth meal. [Tenth, Eleventh and Twelth meal] For the tenth meal, a thin meat soup of common quail, grey partridge etc., prepared with water and salt should be given. Warm water is to be taken after this. This is again to be repeated for the eleventh and twelth meal. Thereafter, the patient should take food having different tastes and should start taking his normal diet from the seventh night.

sanskrit

[Procedure of virechana (therapeutic purgation)] On completion of the post-therapeutic, rehabilitative, dietetic program, oleation and fomentation therapies should be administered again. When the patient has come to normalcy, has slept well, and the food taken by him has been digested, he should be asked to offer homage to agni (fire) and the Gods, and perform auspicious chants. Brahmins should then be invited to recite the svastivachanas (auspicious chants) on an auspicious day with favorable nakshatra (star constellation), karana and muhurta. The patient should thereafter be given a drink made up of the paste of root of trivrit (Operculina turpethum R. B.) in one karsha (12 gm) dose after stirring and mixing up with suitable liquids. Variations in dosha, medicinal drugs, place of residence, time, strength, body, diet, suitability, mind, constitution, and age should be factored in while administering this therapy. After the patient has been administered purgation therapy properly, the complete regimen prescribed for vamana (therapeutic emesis), except herbal smoking, should be followed till he regains normal strength, complexion and health. After he feels physically and mentally normal, has slept well and the food taken by him is fully digested, he should take full bath, apply unction, wear garlands, untorn cloths and favorite ornaments, and appear before friends and relatives. Thereafter, he should be free to lead a normal life.
