Cleanse Your Body and Revitalize Your Health with Purgation Therapy
At Dr. Rekha Health Wisdom Ayurveda and Panchkarma Centre, we offer Purgation Therapy (known as Virechana), one of the most effective Ayurvedic treatments for detoxifying the body and restoring balance to the Pitta dosha (fire and heat energy). This therapy is a powerful tool in Ayurvedic medicine for cleansing the digestive system, eliminating toxins, and improving overall health.
What is Purgation Therapy (Virechana)?
Virechana is a therapeutic process used in Ayurveda to cleanse the body by purging excess toxins and waste through the bowels. The therapy focuses on balancing the Pitta dosha and is particularly useful for managing conditions associated with digestive issues, skin diseases, and inflammatory conditions. Purgation therapy is one of the key treatments in Panchkarma, an ancient Ayurvedic detoxification process that removes accumulated toxins (ama) and rejuvenates the body.
