Abstract

Ayurveda has a special concept called “Padanshika Karma” that must be respected during the transition from Apathya to Pathya. Both Aahara and Vihara can apply the progressive adopting and leaving strategy known as Padanshika Karma. Different Acharyas have different opinions on this concept. So, many health disorders that go unnoticed are caused by abrupt abandonment and transfer to new things. Dosha will become vitiated if you abruptly stop following a particular diet regimen. To prevent the negative effects of abruptly stopping a Satmya or addictive substances, “Padanshika Karma” is used. With the help of the Padanshika Karma technique, the medication dosage is gradually reduced, lowering the likelihood of withdrawal symptoms. Symptomatic treatment is used to address withdrawal symptoms if they manifest. Padanshika Karma is a systematic and scientific method which when applied in any kind of addiction it can lead to de-addiction.
