Benefits of Virechana by Veda5, Best Ayurveda & Yoga Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh, Kerala & Goa, India

Virechana is one of the Panchakarma therapies

Virechana is one of the Panchakarma therapies wherein purgation is induced by drugs and it specifically aims at the elimination of excessive Pitta from their site in the liver, gall bladder, and small intestine (it does not deal with the large intestine). The bitter purgatives are used depending on the concern. This purification therapy is preferred for Pitta and liver disorders (e.g., gall stones). According to Ashtanga Hridayam, the time of purgation is after Vamana (emesis), and after 9:00a.m. (the end of the Kapha time of the day).

The assessment of Virechana is based on various parameters termed as Shuddhi (cleansing) criteria like Vaigiki (number of bouts of stool passed), Manaki (quantitative measurement of stools), Laingiki (symptoms based assessment), and Antyaki (assessment based on end point of purgation) Shuddhi. The Doshas eliminated are classified on the basis of number of bouts of evacuation as low, medium, and high quantities (i.e., Hina, Madhyama, and Uttamshuddhi). These are 10, 20, and 30 times respectively. After purgation in such high numbers, if there is an electrolyte imbalance, it needs to be evaluated and the levels are to be compared before and after Virechana therapy.
