TREATMENT GIVEN TO THE PATIENT IS :-

1 Udvartan :-

Udvartana is an ayurvedic treatment based on powders composed of minerals, herbs and medicinal species. Although it is true that in the vast majority of abhyanga and other panchakarma treatments the use of medicated oils is essential, in certain cases, dry powder is much more useful and recommended to some patients. So, this type of abhyanga is given the generic name of the Udvartana massage.

Procedure – In Udvartana, dry powder abhyanga is done in such a way that we are elevating the hairs from a ‘downward-pointing direction’ and push them to change their direction and point upwards.

2 Lepam :-

Lepa is the fine paste of the selected drugs used for external application. In Ayurveda lepa is mentioned for both ‘chikitsa’ of various diseases and beauty.

Procedure–The selected herbal drugs are collected and pounded to a fine powder form in a khalvayantra and add the required quantity of water to make a thin paste. The paste is applied to the whole body for a certain period. After the paste gets dry, it is removed with clean cotton and a warm bath is given to the patient. For moisturizing, aloe vera gel is applied to the whole of the body

3 Virechan :-

Virechana is a Sanskrit word that means “laxative” or “purging” and may refer to any substance used to induce purging. It mainly includes the administration of purgative substances for the cleansing of pitta through the lower pathways.

Procedure –This therapy involves the intake of Ayurvedic and herbal medicines that destroy the doshas and toxin from the body and bring them to the abdomen. As Pitta is situated at the level of intestines, it is best to expel toxins through the anal route. The Ayurvedic medications that are used for the therapy may vary from person to person depending on the patient’s digestion strength. During the whole treatment, the patient will be subjected to oral intake of Ayurvedic medicines followed by fermentation. The patient will also be subjected to a personalized light and warm diet.
