Virechana is a Sanskrit word that means “laxative” or “purging” and may refer to any substance used purging. Virechana is one of the therapies used in ayurveda, the traditional Indian medical system. More specifically, it is one of the panchakarma toxin-eliminating treatments.
Virechana is used to treat skin diseases, various bowel and gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, asthma, headaches and gynecological problems.
In Virechana detoxification therapy, vitiated doshas and toxins are eliminated through the rectum. The therapy involves intake of Ayurvedic and herbal medicines that destroy the doshas and toxin from the body and bring them to the abdomen. Since Pitta is situated at the level of intestines, it is best to expel it from the anal route. The Ayurvedic medicines used for the therapy may vary from person to person depending on the patient's digestion strength.
