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.
