In pashchat-karma, the steps of gradual dieting have been mentioned. Sansarjan krama is a specific diet plan designed for a patient who has undergone Vamana or Virechana procedure. Following this special diet is considered extremely important in order to restore the strength and smooth functioning of Agni after undergoing complex therapeutic procedures. The significance of seriously and strictly following this dietary regime has been described in Ayurveda with a beautiful simile.<blockquote>यथाऽणुरग्निस्तृणगोमयाद्यैः सन्धुक्ष्यमाणो भवति क्रमेण||१२|| </blockquote><blockquote>महान् स्थिरः सर्वपचस्तथैव शुद्धस्य पेयादिभिरन्तरग्निः||१३|| <ref>Charaka Samhita (Siddhisthanam Adhyaya 1 Sutram 12-13)</ref></blockquote>For taking the patient to his normal diet, various foods with their recipes have been described. The diet should begin with Peya (Rice water), then Vilepi, Krta Yusha (green gram soup), Akruta Yusha, Mamsa-Rasa (meat soup) with the increase in quantity and quality gradually, this process is known as Samsarjana Krama.

It is to be worth mentioning here that Panchakarma described in Ayurveda is not merely emesis, purgation or enema but it is a complete therapy for the various disorders. It is an important line of treatment in which the diseases are cured by elimination of doshas from the body. However for the success of the therapy the contraindications of each Karma should be borne in mind so that complications or side effects may not occur.
