Shana Bath

'Snana is not an ayurvedic treatment. A daily bath after an 'Abhyanga' or self-administered oil massage is part of the ayurvedic dinacharya (daily routine). If a suitable type of oil is used, Abhyanga helps to soothe Vata. A different type of oil that is suited to one's ailment can be used for the head. While applying oil all over the body, care should be taken to ensure that the face, ears and soles of the feet are also massaged gently.

A bath in warm water is preferable after an Abhyanga. Roots, barks and leaves of herbs suited to one's prakruti (constitution) and ailments may be boiled in this water, which should be cooled to a moderate temperature before being used. Never use hot water for the head. Cleaning agents like green gram paste should be used for the body, and a herbal shampoo for the hair. Avoid bathing at noon, while the environment is hot. Baths can be had in the morning or afternoon, before sunset. Bathing immediately after meals is not recommended. Application of some choorna (herbal powder) on the crown helps to prevent colds. Choornas or herbal powders like Rasnadi, Panchagandham or Kachoradi may be used.
 

 

Pathya (Diet regimen)
Pathya is an integral pan of Ayurvedic treatment. The patient is advised to follow a new diet regimen during and for sometime after the treatment. The diet regimen during the course of treatment is aimed either at increasing the potency of the drugs or preventing their side effects. The physician recommends a paihya that would achieve the desired result.

Peyadikrama
During the Panehakarma therapy, ihecttiuini (toxins) accumulated in thcdhutus and various channels of the body are brought into the gaslro-inleslinal tract, from where it is expelled. In this process of elimination, the digestive fire naturally gets weakened. The patient is therefore advised to take semi solid foods for some time to re-establish the digestive capacity.
Peyadikarma  is the diet schedule, which begins with 'Peya' as the first semi-solid food. Peya is rice soup made of broken rice. It is ideal if shastika rice is used. From the fourth meal onwards, the patient is given Vilepi. Vilepi is rice soup of thick consistency. After the seventh or eighth meal the patient can resume a normal diet.
