VIRECHANA: COMPLETE PURGATION OF BODY TOXINS
The process in which unwanted tissues are untied from the body through controlled purgation is called Virechana. Pitta rests in the naval region of our body. Virechana is said to be the best treatment to defeat the accumulation of Pitta. If we don’t overcome this accumulation of Pitta, it might lead us to liver disorders, diabetes, gastritis, etc. One of the Panchkarma therapies, which is made to eliminate the Pitta dosha, also bids an adieu to Kapha dosha. if Doshas are highly aggravated, then Shodhana (Detoxification) is required.
