What Is the Meaning of Purgation in Bengali? - #11821
I recently came across the term purgation in Ayurveda, especially in the context of detoxification therapies like Virechana in Panchakarma. But I want to understand—what is the meaning of purgation in Bengali, and how is it used in traditional medicine? From what I have read, purgation refers to the process of cleansing the body by inducing bowel movements. In Ayurveda, Virechana therapy is a controlled purgation process used to remove excess Pitta dosha and toxins from the body. What is the Bengali term for purgation, and how is it commonly explained in traditional medicine? I also read that purgation is used for treating chronic conditions like liver disorders, acidity, and skin diseases. Some sources say that Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Castor Oil, and Haritaki are used to induce natural purgation. Are these commonly used in Bengali Ayurvedic medicine? Another interesting thing I found is that purgation is not just a treatment but also a natural digestive process. Some people take herbal laxatives or detox drinks to help with constipation and digestive issues. Are there any home remedies in Bengali medicine that promote gentle purgation? Lastly, are there any precautions or risks associated with excessive purgation? Some sources mention that overuse of laxatives or strong purgatives can lead to weak digestion, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. How can purgation be done safely to avoid these side effects? If anyone knows the meaning of purgation in Bengali and its significance in Ayurveda or traditional medicine, please share your insights! I’d love to learn how detoxification through purgation is used for improving health and digestion.
