Virechana Therapy
Therapeutic purgation
Virechana is one of the five classical procedures of Panchakarma treatment. This page explains what it involves and when an Ayurvedic physician may consider it.
Overview
Virechana is classical therapeutic purgation used after oleation and sudation in appropriately selected patients. It aims to clear excess Pitta-related accumulation under clinical supervision.
When physicians discuss it
It may be considered for certain Pitta-dominant or mixed patterns after full assessment. Lab reports and concurrent medicines are reviewed first.
Treatment approach at Vedamrita
Preparation, supervised purgation and structured aftercare are mandatory. Unsupervised purgatives and DIY cleanses are unsafe and not recommended.
Where Virechana is planned
