What is Panchakarma?

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s most comprehensive detox and rejuvenation system. It removes deeply rooted toxins (Ama), strengthens digestion, and re-establishes harmony between Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

At Ukroots, Panchakarma unfolds in three structured phases:

The Three Phases of Panchakarma

What is Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation)?

Virechana is a controlled Ayurvedic purgation therapy that cleanses the body by eliminating excess Pitta dosha through the intestinal tract. It primarily targets the liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and blood, making it highly effective for metabolic, digestive, and skin-related conditions.

This therapy works at the root level, gently flushing toxins rather than suppressing symptoms.

Who Should Consider Virechana Therapy?

Virechana is recommended for individuals experiencing:

✦Hyperacidity and gastric disorders

✦IBS and irregular bowel movements

✦Liver and gallbladder imbalance

✦Acne, pigmentation, rashes, and dull skin

✦Hormonal imbalances

✦Heat-related disorders and inflammation

Our Ayurvedic physicians assess your constitution and health history to ensure Virechana is suitable and beneficial for you.

Virechana Therapy Process at Ukroots

1. Purvakarma — Internal Preparation

Snehapana (Internal Oleation)
Medicated ghee or oils are administered internally over several days to loosen toxins and bring them into the digestive tract.

Mild Abhyangam and Swedana may also be included based on individual needs.

2. Pradhana Karma — Herbal Purgation

On the main therapy day, carefully selected herbal formulations are given to initiate controlled purgation. The process is supervised closely to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal detoxification.

3. Paschatkarma — Post-Purification Care
