अतिप्रवृद्धदोषस्य पूर्वं लोहितपित्तिनः | अक्षीणबलमांसाग्नेः कर्तव्यमपतर्पणम् ||१३||

sanskrit

In cases where the doshas (bodily humors) have excessively increased, especially in individuals with aggravated red bile (lohitapittina) and weakened strength, muscle tone, or digestive fire (agni), it is important to first perform fasting (apatarpana). This helps in reducing the excess doshas and restores balance before proceeding with further treatment.
