Virechana
Metabolic and Liver Purification
Virechana is a clinical purgation therapy designed to clear excess Pitta and deep tissue toxins from the liver and gallbladder.
Traditional significance and modern relevance.
As one of the five primary actions of Panchakarma, Virechana is the classical treatment for metabolic and inflammatory conditions. We align each therapeutic movement with clinical metrics, tracking skin circulation, neuro-adrenal load parameters, and systemic purges.
Recommended for purifying blood parameters, resetting metabolic fires, and clearing skin disorders.
Liver Detoxification
Flushes accumulated toxins and excess bile out of the hepatic pathways.
