Virechana, or Purgation Therapy, is one of Ayurveda’s most effective detoxification methods for cleansing the body of excess Pitta dosha and deep-seated toxins. By administering safe, herbal purgatives, this therapy gently clears the bowel, supporting improved digestion, liver function, and overall metabolic health. As an integral part of Panchakarma, Virechana not only purifies the system but also helps restore inner balance, vitality, and long-term wellness.
At Westwind Ayurveda, Virechana therapy is carried out with the utmost care, following authentic Ayurvedic protocols. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s constitution and health needs, and guided by our experienced practitioners to ensure safety, comfort, and effectiveness. In a calm and healing environment, clients receive holistic care that nurtures both body and mind.
Advantages of Virechana Therapy
Deep Detoxification: Cleanses the liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract for complete internal purification.
Balancing Pitta: Regulates excess Pitta dosha, easing issues like acidity, inflammation, and related skin problems.
Healthier Skin: Supports relief from eczema, psoriasis, acne, and other Pitta-linked skin conditions.
Stronger Digestion: Improves digestive fire (Agni), enhancing metabolism and nutrient absorption.
Mental Calmness: Relieves stress and promotes clarity by eliminating both physical and emotional toxins.
Subtypes of Virechana Therapy
