Virechana: Classical Pitta Detox Therapy Explained


What is Virechana?


Virechana, or Virechana Karma, is a purification therapy and one of the five therapies of Panchakarma. Panchakarma is used to prevent and manage many physical and mental health concerns.


Treatment


The Virachana therapy is medicated purification therapy, cleansing the body from excess pitta accumulation, purifying blood and clearing toxins. The therapy primarily concentrates on the toxins accumulated in the liver and gallbladder, thus cleansing the gastrointestinal tract completely.

Virechana Karma, described in the Charaka Samhita, is the classical therapy for disorders arising from vitiated Pitta dosha.


Types of Virechana Karma


  • Anulomana
  • Sansarjana
  • Bhedana
  • Rechana

Procedure


In Virechana, vitiated doshas and toxins are eliminated through the bowel. The therapy involves Ayurvedic Medicine that loosens the doshas and brings them to the gut. Since Pitta sits at the level of the intestines, it is expelled through the anal route. The medicines vary from person to person depending on digestive strength, and the patient follows a light, warm diet.

The therapy procedures tend to change depending on the actors like body and mind constitution, age of the person, mental condition and emotional stability.

  • Eliminates toxin accumulation in the GI tract
