Cleanse the body, balance Pitta, and restore inner clarity through Ayurvedic purgation therapy
What is Virechana?
Virechana is one of the five core therapies of Panchakarma, the classical Ayurvedic system of detoxification and rejuvenation. It is a controlled therapeutic purgation procedure used to eliminate excessive Pitta dosha and accumulated toxins (Ama) from the body, particularly from the liver, gallbladder, and small intestine.
At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, Virechana is prescribed and administered with precision under the supervision of experienced Ayurvedic physicians. It is highly effective for a range of chronic health conditions as well as for seasonal detox and disease prevention.
How Virechana Works
The process of Virechana involves three main stages:
- Poorvakarma (Preparatory Phase):
- Internal oleation (Snehapana): Administration of medicated ghee or oils to loosen deep-seated toxins.
- External oleation and steam therapy (Abhyanga and Swedana): To mobilize toxins toward the gastrointestinal tract.
- Pradhanakarma (Main Procedure):
Administration of specially formulated purgative medicines to induce controlled bowel movements and expel toxins through the lower digestive tract.
- Paschatkarma (Post-procedure Care):
- A carefully monitored diet and lifestyle regimen (Samsarjana Krama) to restore digestive strength and support tissue regeneration.
- The entire process is personalized based on the patient’s Prakriti (constitution), Vikriti (imbalance), age, strength, season, and specific health condition.
