ABSTRACT

Ayurveda advocates two main types of therapeutic procedures namely Shodhana (purificatory therapies) and Shamana (palliative) procedures. As Agni (digestive fire) is the main for the production of the diseases, it should be well protected after administering the different purificatory procedures. Life-span, complexion, strength, health, enthusiasm, corpulence, luster, immunity, energy, heat process and vital breath all these depend on bodyfire. One dies if this fire is extinguished, lives long free from disorders if it is functioning properly, gets ill if it is deranged, hence Agni (digestive Fire) is the root cause of all diseases and therefore it should be protected while performing the treatment also. Samsarjana Krama (order of dietetic regimens) is a graduated dietetic regimen administered after therapeutic Vamana (emesis) and Virechana (purgation). Keywords: Shodhana, Purificatory therapies, Krama (order), Panchkarma, Agni (digestive -fire)
