In Kasa management, chyavanprasha is followed by what?

• A. A rasayana after chyavanprasha
• B. Virechana after chyavanprasha
• C. Purgation after chyavanprasha
• D. Snehana after chyavanprasha

Answer: (A)

Key idea: in cough management, strengthening and nourishing the body is a priority, so a rasayana approach is used to boost immunity and resilience. Chyavanprash is a classic rasayana that provides nourishing, immune-boosting effects. In this regimen, the next step is to continue with rasayana after chyavanprash to sustain and consolidate those benefits, especially for ongoing respiratory vulnerability. Cleansing procedures like virechana or purgation are aimed at removing doshas and toxins and aren’t the typical follow-up after a nourishing rasayana in this context. Snehana is nourishing-oleation therapy but isn’t the standard immediate follow-up after chyavanprash for cough management.
