So Shodhan chikitsa was planned.Within 15 days patient got fruitful result. Although Patient had signs and symptoms of Amlapitta, we had planned Krimi Chikitsa on the basis of stool examinations report. After Virechana (Shodhan karma) Shaman was planned, as per Chikitsa Sutra stated in Krimi Chikitsa.7 i.e. Nidan Parivarjan, Prakriti Vighat, and Apakarshana (Doshavasechan). Shodhan was planned in the form of Virechana it helps in elimination of Krimi from the body. After that, Krimikuthar ras was planned for Prakriti Vighat. i.e destruction of toxin produced by Krimi. It is very important to plan above said management to get fruitful effect. Nidan parivarjan was done in the form of Pathyapathya Regime Pathya was advise in the form of Ushna Laghu supachya ahar,Daily Meditation for 10 mins , Abstinence of junk food and limited mobile screen time.
