Watch(Video): Oleation, The Purge, What to Eat After
In traditional Ayurvedic detox after oil is coming out in your stool, or the morning oleation makes you nauseous, your body is communicating that you have completed oleation.
After oleation you purge the g.i.tract. You can do a salt water flush (see other tip sheet), or organic, cold-pressed castor oil from the health food store.
On the eve of Day 4, eat an early, light dinner, or skip dinner. Before bed, take 2-4 tbsp. castor oil chased by a 1/2 c. fresh squeezed orange juice. If you are sensitive – 2 tbsp. If you are on the bulkier side and have more stagnation – take up to 4 tbsp.
The castor oil will purge your entire digestive tract, rendering 6-10 bowel movements, perhaps with some bile in the bowels within 4 hours. If you don’t have 6 bowel movements, you can take more castor oil in the morning.
If you feel nauseous, chew on a dime slice of ginger root. Repeat as desired. Don’t eat until after you have purged.
After your Purge
Eat only when your earnest hunger returns. Traditionally, after castor oil the diet is a rice or barley water, followed by a thicker grain soup. It’s soothing and nourishing to your gut.
Over the years I have found that fresh green juice, broth, and fermented foods – like miso soup or sauerkraut work very well, especially for those who get constipated or bogged down from grains. So, if that is you, do that instead of the traditional grain soup.
Below is the traditional diet following the purge.
For those who don’t want to cook 4 pots of rice, you can make Cooked Rice, and then water it down according to the ratios. This Manda, Peya, Vilepi digestive recovery is standard Ayurvedic post-purge cuisine.
Rice or Barley Water (Manda) Manda means liquid. When purging, most people lose their appetite. Manda is the first meal to be taken when the appetite returns (four hours). It is basically water in which white basmati rice is boiled. Use 14 parts of water to 1 part of Basmati rice. It should be served lukewarm with a tsp of ghee and a pinch of black salt.
Rice or Barley Soup (Peya) Peya means soup. Two to three hours later the patient should feel hungry again. Peya is a thin, light porridge. Make with eight parts water, one part rice. Cook until very soft.
Thick Rice or Barley Soup (Vilepi) Vilepi means thick soup. It should be served for the third and fourth meals. Cook with four parts water to one part rice. Add black salt, a pinch of raw sugar, and sautéed spices in ghee such as ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fennel.
Cooked Rice (Odana) Odana means cooked rice. It is rice as we know it normally. It should be served at the fifth meal. Odana is cooked 2:1 water to grain.
Mung Dal Soup (Yusha) Of all lentils, mung daal is the easiest to digest. Yusha is rice with yellow mung dal added served as a soupy mixture for the 6th meal. Akrita yusha is without spices, fat and salt. Krita yusha is with spices, fat and salt. Use four parts water to 1 part basmati and 1/2 part split mung lentils. Recommended spices are black pepper, dry ginger, ghee, and salt.
Rice and Daal Mixture (Kitchari) A kitchari is any dish of rice and beans. Rice and beans together provide all twenty amino acids. Fats, carbohydrates and proteins are the building blocks of ojas. Cooked with ghee, kitchari is ojas building. Kitchari may be eaten for many meals and is very cleansing. It helps with recuperation and rejuvenation.
