Rejuvenation therapy administered without purifying the body does not help, just like colouring a dirty cloth does not shine. The rasayana should be resorted by the person who is self-controlled, undergone oleation, blood letting etc. Before taking the rasayanas, the body should be cleansed internally.
|
Purification of the body is done by
|
|
- Drinking warm water.
- Ingesting the powder of triphala, sweet flag (Acorus calamus), embelia, turmeric, pepper and dry ginger in equal parts.
- After the body has been cleansed and the person has been put on rehabilitatory diet, he should be given thin barley-gruel mixed with ghee to drink for a period either of three nights or five days or seven days until his intestines have been purged of all faecal accumulations.
