Therapeutic Purgation for Deep Detox & Lifestyle Disorder Prevention
Virechan Karma is one of the core Panchakarma detoxification therapies focused on eliminating accumulated toxins (Ama) & excess Pitta from the body through controlled and safe purgation.
Unlike general laxatives, Virechan is a medically supervised, step-wise Ayurvedic purification protocol that resets metabolism, enhances liver function, improves skin clarity, balances digestion and restores lightness in both body & mind.
Patients frequently report feeling instantly refreshed, energized, mentally calm and physically lighter after undergoing Virechan.
AYURVEDIC VIEW / HOW IT WORKS
According to Ayurveda, Pitta governs digestion, metabolism, hormonal balance and skin radiance.
Unbalanced lifestyle patterns → junk food, stress, acidity, late nights, screens & emotional load → increase Pitta & generate Ama (metabolic toxins), leading to:
- Hyperacidity / Gastritis / Indigestion
- Skin issues (acne, rashes, psoriasis)
- Irritability / anger / mental heat
- Liver overload
- Obesity & lifestyle disorders
VIRECHAN KARMA INCULDE
Virechan works through:
| Ayurvedic Mechanism | Effect |
|---|---|
| Removal of accumulated Pitta from liver & small intestine | Relief from acidity, headaches & heat-related symptoms |
| Elimination of Ama through the bowel pathway | Improved metabolism, better digestion & energy |
| Deep cleanse of Rasa & Rakta Dhatu | Clearer skin, anti-inflammatory benefit |
