Virechan

One of the five treatments of Panchakarma, Virechana is the ayurvedic way of detoxification of the body from Pitta. Virechan refers to the Sanskrit word meaning purging of a particular substance that might induce purgation in the body. This controlled process assembles ama (toxins) in a small intestine from stomach, liver, and then discharges it. Virechana frees the body from toxic Pitta and leads to the formation of healthy Pitta thereafter, to aid digestion and metabolism.
