Dear Narayani;

Do you know how to guide her thru the home/self version panchakarma

cleanse? With vata/pitta vikruti, the ghee oleation sounds very

important, as well as the self massge and bastis. Dr. Lad's Home

REmedies book gives a good version, using dashmoola (water decoction)

as a good base standard. Depending on how long she does it for

occasional or alternate oil -even plain sesame can be good, about 1/2

cup may be indicated. But it is not my training to do the

personalization preferred for best results over the internet or in

person. Perhaps there are other advices available. The western

alternative medicine style cleanses are not going to be beneficial for

her vata vikruti. The dietary adjustments as I understand are except

for the ghee, and possible lassi midday, a dairy, sugars, honey, fried

and meat free version of her doshic recommended diet during the

oleation, then light the night of virechana (castor oil purgation) and

until the results of that are settled down. THen pretty much

recommended is the kitchari monodiet during abhyanga and basti days,

taking as many days to come back to a more varied diet afterwards as

she was on teh cleansing process.

Namaste;
