Virechana, a key part of Panchakarma in Ayurveda, is a detoxification procedure that purges accumulated toxins from the body, restoring balance to the Doshas and rejuvenating vitality.

It is particularly beneficial for addressing most GI disorders, metabolic disorders like obesity, and chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo. Patients undergo Purvakarma preparations followed by consuming specialized herbal formulations to induce controlled purgation. This process is closely monitored by experienced practitioners to ensure safety and effectiveness. Following Virechana therapy, patients often report enhanced digestion, clearer skin, and a sense of overall well-being as the body rids itself of toxins. This procedure not only alleviates specific symptoms but also promotes long-term health and well-being.
