Abstract Panchakarma which helps elimination of vitiated Doṣhas and restoration of physiological balance. The success of Panchakarma therapy largely depends on proper Purvakarma, which include Dipana-Pachana, Snehana, and Swedana. In general considered as Purvakarma in certain condition where rukshana karma is indicated prior to shodhana like the diseases of kapha and meda predominance santarpana janya vikaras. Rukṣaṇa is not merely an adjunct but a crucial Purvakarma modality that ensures that the body is adequately prepared for Shodhana procedures when direct administration of Snehana is contraindicated or ineffective.
Clinically, Rukshaṇa plays a vital role as Amahara thereby promotes agnideepana, which are prerequisites for effective Shodhana. By improving Jatharagni and Dhatvagni, Rukṣhaṇa facilitates proper digestion and metabolism, thereby reducing the pathological substrate responsible for disease manifestation. The reduction of Kapha and Meda through Rukṣhaṇa enhances Doṣha vilayana and it helps for proper shodhana such as Vamana and Virechana.
Rukṣhaṇa is achieved through various modalities including Udvartana, Takra pana, Rukṣha Ahara sevana, Langhana and administration of Dipana–Pachana Auṣhadhi like Trikaṭu, Musta, Chitraka, and Pippali. Udvartana, in particular has shown significant clinical utility in reducing Meda dhatu, improving circulation, alleviating Srotorodha, and promoting laghutva in the body. Dietary interventions emphasizing Laghu, Rukṣha, and Ushna foods further complement these procedures by sustaining Agni and preventing re-accumulation of Ama.
