Instructions to be followed during treatment
During the period of treatment or the existence of disease, Ayurveda advises total physical and mental rest to enable quick recovery. This is described in the form of several restrictions and a very strict diet alongwith a regimented lifestyle. It is very
important that this is followed strictly as instructed by the physician.
The ayurvedic texts say that the patient who has undergone Pancha karma (purificatory therapies) will be physically weak with a poor appetite. Hence one should be given proper care with due precautions against hazards.

Usage of warm water for all activities (washing, abolition, bath, drinking etc.)
Maintenance of celibacy
Keeping the senses under control and avoiding desires, reading, writing and any
activity, which strains the sense organs and mind.
Allowing the natural urges of the body like passage of flatus, urine, bowel movement, sneezing etc.
No exercise
Resisting anger, gloom, depression
Remaining away from cold, sun or wind
Restricted movement of the body
Minimum and mild speech
Avoiding prolonged static posture
Not keeping a very low or a very high pillow under the head
Abstaining from sleep during daytime
Using footwear at all times so that the feet does not come in direct contact with the bare ground
This regimen is the same generally for all therapies and also for all those who are
afflicted with disease.
You can check with the physician whether all the above restrictions are required for you or whether some of them can be relaxed for you, based on your condition.
