Abstract In the present era, awareness regarding preventive healthcare and holistic treatment approaches is steadily increasing, leading to renewed global interest in Ayurveda. Pediatric skin disorders are becoming increasingly common due to changing lifestyle, dietary habits, environmental pollution, and reduced immunity. Classical Shodhana therapies such as Virechana Karma are considered effective in the management of Kushtha and other Twak Vikara; however, their direct application in children is difficult because of the delicate constitution (Sukumara Sharira), low strength (Alpa Bala), and unstable digestive capacity (Manda Agni) in pediatric patients.
In this context, the concept of Mridu Shodhana and Nitya Virechana becomes clinically significant. Manibhadra Yoga, a classical Ayurvedic formulation described in Ashtanga Hridaya and other classical texts, acts as a mild daily purgative and offers gradual elimination of vitiated Doshas without causing excessive strain. The formulation contains Vidanga, Amalaki, Haritaki, Trivrutta, and Guda, which collectively possess Deepana, Pachana, Anulomana, and Mridu Rechana properties.
This review article aims to explore the classical references, pharmaceutical preparation, therapeutic properties, and probable mode of action of Manibhadra Yoga as a Nitya Virechana in Ekkustha. The article also highlights previous research works supporting its efficacy and safety. Due to its palatability, safety profile, and gentle detoxifying action, Manibhadra Yoga may serve as a suitable alternative to classical Virechana in children.
