For the enhancement of ''agni'' (power of digestion and metabolism), the physician should advise the patient to consume a ''peya'' (thin gruel) and certain dietary preparations (as described earlier in [[Sutra Sthana]]) after ''vamana'' and ''virechana'', followed by ''mamsa rasa'' (meat soup), for the protection of his health. The patient should be given ''snigdha'' (unctous), ''amla'' (sour), ''swadu'' (sweet) and ''hridya'' (pleasing) food. A sequence of ''rasas'' (taste) with sour and salty tastes should be given first, then the food having ''swadu'' (sweet) and ''tikta'' (bitter) taste and lastly the food articles having astringent and pungent tastes should be given.[6-8]
