Virechana Therapy
Therapeutic Purgation for Digestive Balance, Liver Detox & Radiant Skin
At Ukroots — An Organic Village Resort, Panchakarma therapies are practiced as authentic Ayurvedic healing rituals that cleanse the body, balance the doshas, and restore natural vitality. Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation) is a classical Panchakarma procedure specifically designed to eliminate excess Pitta dosha, which is often responsible for digestive disturbances, inflammation, and skin disorders.
Under the careful guidance of experienced Ayurvedic doctors, Virechana offers deep internal cleansing and long-lasting metabolic balance.
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
Purvakarma — Preparation Phase
Prepares the body through oil therapies and heat treatments to mobilize toxins.
Pradhana Karma — Main Detox Phase
Includes specialized therapies such as Virechana, Vamana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana.
Paschatkarma — Recovery Phase
Focuses on healing, nourishment, and lifestyle correction for sustained wellness.
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.

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
