Mode of action of Purgative (drugs) to induce virechana

• Purgative drugs are basically hot (Ushna) in potency. Also they are sharp (Teekshna) and have the ability to enter the minute channels in the body (Sookshma), diffuse (Vyavayi) and spreading in nature (Vikasi)

With the above said abilities

• The induced drug enters into minutest channels (sookshma)
• The hot (ushna) potency liquefies Doshas / Toxins in the body
• Attacks toxins / Doshas and breaks it down (Teekshna) and liquefied Doshas will be brought to (lower part of) stomach
• Because of dominancy of Prithvi & Jala Bhoota predominancy, Apana Vayu is stimulated and the Doshas are expelled through rectal / anal root

There are many kinds of preparations which induce Purgation - like Lehya (electuary), Churna (Powders), Taila (oils), Ghrita (Ghee), Vati (Tabs) etc. Based on the Dosha predominance, the purgatives can be combined with various medicines.
