Individuals with soft bowel movement require a maximum dose of three days of acchapana (sneha alone) while those suffering from krura koshtha (hard bowel) require the seven-day long (maximum) dose regimen.

 

Individuals with soft bowel movement require the following as purgatives: jaggery, sugarcane juice, whey of curd, milk, water of curd, milk pudding, krishara (rice cooked with black gram), ghee, juice (decoction) of kashmari (Gmelina arborea), triphala (combination of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica and Emblica officinalis), pilu (Salvadora persica Linn.), draksha (Vitis vinifera Linn), warm water or fresh wine.

Individuals with soft bowel movement require a maximum dose of three days of ''acchapana'' (''sneha'' alone) while those suffering from ''krura koshtha'' (hard bowel) require the seven-day long (maximum) dose regimen.

These do not help an individual suffering from hard bowel movement because of the prominence of vata in their grahani (duodenum). “Soft bowel individuals” have predominance of pitta and less kapha and vata in their duodenum, and hence gets purgation easily. [65-69]
