Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,
Importance of laxatives in Ayurveda treatment;
In most of the Ayurveda prescriptions will have the Laxative
medication either in medicated oil, ghee or Powder form.
Ayurveda believes the principle “prevention is better than cure”
and in general all the illnesses is treating with the cleansing therapy.
In Ayurveda cleansing and rejuvenating the system in order
to attain the balanced state of the three life forces and maintains the healthy
state of mind and body.
The treatment basically classified into two, Pacifying and Cleansing.
After the
Cleansing therapy Pacifying medication will be continuing till attain the
perfect health.
And also in cases where
the illness is not that severe and do not affected the system deeply,here
directly going for the Pacifying
medications.
The Cleansing therapy is involving five steps,five fold cleansing therapy
called ‘Panchakarma’ therapy.
They are Vomiting (Vamanam),Purgation (Virechanam),
Medicated enema (vasthi), Medication through Nostrils (Nasyam) and the blood
letting (Rakthamoksham).
The Physician will fix the suitable methods upon the
need of the condition of patient.
The Purgation (Virechanam) can be two forms either as the part of cleansing
therapy or mild cleansing (mrudhu virechanam).
How the purgative medicine works?
In a diseased stage, the body contaminated in blocked
channels all along the body (Srothas).
That is happening in two ways:
1.
When the wind element (Vatha Dosha)aggravates,
drying up the lubricating agents in each and every tissues.
2.
When the Earth and Water elements (Kapha Dosha) aggravates there also the blockages occurring due to the fat accumulation
excessively.
In both of the above cases,we have
to take effort to clear the blockages by various methods.
Purgation with
laxative medicines is one among them.
When we take the mild laxatives regularly
it digesting and clearing the blocks and taking the impurities to the stomach
then draining out.
It promotes the better circulation of body fluids and proper
functioning of the nervous system.
And also
the absorption of food and eliminating the waste through sweat ,urine and stools will happen properly.
Then we apply the medication to rejuvenate the
system simultaneously, hence we get rid of the illnesses.
Hope you got a brief idea,your
comments always will be appreciated .
