These treatments are eliminating therapies, which means they expel the initiated doshas completely from the body. Virechana is one among the panchakarma.

Virechana is the procedure by which the vitiated Doshas are eliminated through the anal route. It is the treatment of choice for Pitta-predominant conditions.

How does this work?

Every single thing in this universe is composed of the Pancha mahabhuta( five basic elements of the universe).

They are:

Prithvi – Earth
Ap – Water
Tej – Fire
Vayu – Wind
Aakash – Space

Drugs used for Virechana are Prithvi and Ap panchamahabhuta (earth and water) predominant. They have adhobhagahara property, ie, they propel the doshas in the downward direction. After procedures like oleation( use of substances like ghee, oil, etc) and perspiration, the vitiated doshas reach the kostha, ie, the alimentary canal. From here, due to the properties of the Virechana drugs, the doshas are eliminated through the anal route.

Can this be administered in all conditions?

Virechana is the supreme treatment for pitta dosha predominant conditions. Therefore in conditions of pitta like gastrointestinal disorders( constipation, worm infestation, jaundice, etc), dermatological disorders like eczema, allergies, and diseases like fever, hemiplegia, bronchial asthma, etc, this procedure can be administered.

Virechana is a strong treatment and not everyone can tolerate the repercussions. Therefore pregnant women, weak patients, patients with tuberculosis, etc must not indulge in this treatment.

AyurVAID's Procedure

First and foremost, our main concern is to assess whether the patient is strong enough to tolerate the hassle of this procedure. Then selected patients to undergo first:

Purvakarma (pre-operative measures)

Snehapana for 3-7 days, then Abhyanga (massage) & Swedana( perspiration) for three days.

Pradhana karma

The medicine for purgation is to be given in the early morning at 6 AM, preferably on an empty stomach. Usually, the purgation will start after three hours. Warm water may be given in small doses when the patient feels thirsty or the urge for evacuation is not felt sufficient. Cold water should be used for drinking when the preparation of Jayapala (Croton tigliam) is used for purgation.

Paschat karma

When the evacuation of the bowel is complete as per the Lakshana described for Samyak Virechana (optimum features), the patient is advised to take complete rest. Thereafter Samsarjana krama(diet) is to be followed as per the directions of the physician.

Jaghanya (less)- 10 Vegas or bouts
Madhyama(medium)- 20 Vegas or bouts
Pravara(more) – 30 Vegas or bouts
