Virechanam

Virechanam

Virechanam, or purgation, is an Ayurvedic procedure used to eliminate accumulated toxins from the digestive tract, particularly the small intestine. It is highly effective in balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas and is a key detoxification component.

Virechanam normalizes appetite, improves digestion, and enhances the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. It also clears the mind, stimulating intellectual capacity and clarity of thought, making it an excellent treatment for Pitta and Kapha disorders.

The day before Virechanam, you are given special food to increase acid secretion in the gut. On the day of the treatment, it begins with an oil massage and steam therapy at 7:30 am. Afterward, your therapist or doctor will administer the purgative medicine orally. You’ll need to prepare for frequent bowel movements, which may occur every 15 to 60 minutes. If the purgation is incomplete, a therapeutic enema may be administered in the afternoon, or the process may be repeated the next day.

During the treatment, you will be advised to drink water regularly, take rest, and remain in your room. Light food like rice gruel is provided when you feel hungry.
