Virechana

Virechana is a key detoxification process in Ayurveda's Panchakarma, focusing on the therapeutic elimination of excess Pitta dosha from the body. This process involves the use of herbal purgatives to cleanse the gastrointestinal tract, removing accumulated toxins that can cause various imbalances and diseases. By targeting Pitta, Virechana is particularly beneficial for conditions like skin disorders, digestive problems, and liver dysfunction. The treatment is typically administered following preparatory steps like Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation) to loosen toxins, and is followed by a specific diet and lifestyle regimen to support the body's recovery.
Virechana is one of the primary Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda, focusing on the natural detoxification of the body. This ancient Ayurvedic treatment involves the controlled purging of toxins from the body, primarily through the digestive system, by inducing therapeutic vomiting or diarrhea.
