Saṃsarjana-kriyā

Gradual nourishment protects healing gains. Saṃsarjana-kriyā is the structured dietary regimen followed after cleansing therapies in Āyurveda. It rekindles digestion, restores strength, and stabilises doṣas through a carefully graduated diet, ensuring the body adapts safely after detoxification without relapse or weakness under medical supervision.
