Virechana Treatment: Process, Types, Benefits,
It is an integral part of Panchakarma treatment. In Virechana patients are treated under the controlled therapeutic purging for a certain period of time. The objective of this treatment is to remove imbalanced or excess pitta dosha.
Pitta dosha is responsible for all the digestive system functions, and metabolism in the body when it is in a balanced state. If pitta dosha goes out of control, it causes digestive tract disorders, skin diseases, liver and spleen diseases, etc. Medicines can be given to get the increased pitta to its normal levels if the vitiation is mild. But,if vitiation is severe then the increased pitta has to be expelled out of the body. It is here that the process of Virechana comes in handy.
In Virechana Treatment mainly 3 steps are involved in this process. They are
- Poorva karma (Preliminary process)
- Pradhana Karma(Main step or main treatment procedure)
- Pashchat Karma (After treatment protocol)
