What is Virechan?

Ayurvedic Therapeutic Purgation for Pitta Purification

Virechan is the second of the five classical Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda. It involves medically supervised therapeutic purgation — the administration of specific herbal medicines that induce controlled bowel cleansing to eliminate accumulated Pitta, toxins (Ama), and vitiated doshas from the small intestine, liver, and blood.

Virechan is a 15-day programme comprising preparatory therapies (Purvakarma), the main treatment day, and a structured post-procedure recovery (Paschatkarma). It is performed exclusively by our Ayurvedic doctors and is the most effective treatment for all Pitta-related disorders — from skin diseases and liver conditions to inflammatory and metabolic disorders.
