Virechana (Purgation Therapy)

Overview

Virechana, or Purgation Therapy, is a crucial Ayurvedic detoxification procedure offered at Westwind Ayurveda in Mysore. This therapy involves the administration of herbal purgatives to cleanse the bowel and eliminate Pitta-related toxins from the body. As a part of the Panchakarma treatment, Virechana helps in restoring balance and promoting overall health and wellness. At Westwind Ayurveda, we ensure that Virechana is performed following traditional Ayurvedic principles, under the supervision of experienced practitioners.

Advantages of Virechana Therapy

1. Deep Detoxification: Virechana effectively removes toxins from the liver, gallbladder, and gastrointestinal tract, promoting internal cleansing.
2. Pitta Balance: It helps in balancing the Pitta dosha, alleviating symptoms like acidity, inflammation, and skin disorders.
3. Skin Health: Beneficial for treating skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne by reducing Pitta-related toxins.
4. Digestive Health: Enhances digestive fire (Agni), improving digestion and metabolism.
5. Mental Clarity: Reduces mental stress and promotes clarity and calmness by purging emotional and physical toxins.

Subtypes of Virechana Therapy

Classical Virechana

• This subtype uses traditional herbal preparations to induce purgation, following the classical Ayurvedic protocols.
