VIRECHANA (PURGATION) F&Q's
Virechana is a detoxification procedure in Ayurveda focused on expelling excess Pitta dosha from the body through therapeutic purgation. It involves the intake of herbal laxatives under expert supervision to cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and eliminate toxins.

Preparation typically includes a pre-purgation phase involving dietary adjustments, internal oleation with medicated ghee, and possibly external oleation and sudation treatments. These steps are crucial for softening the body’s tissues and facilitating the removal of toxins.
Virechana is effective in managing several Pitta-dominated conditions, such as hyperacidity, skin disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fevers, headaches, and certain types of arthritis. It helps in purifying the blood and improving digestion and metabolism.
Post-Virechana, individuals often report improved digestion, enhanced energy levels, reduction in Pitta-related symptoms, clearer complexion, and an overall sense of well-being. It also helps in rebalancing the body’s doshas and preventing disease recurrence.
Virechana, like any Ayurvedic therapy, is not one-size-fits-all. “Aatreya Panchakarma” would conduct a thorough assessment of an individual’s health, dosha imbalance, and medical history to determine suitability. It’s generally not recommended for very young, elderly, or those with certain health conditions.
