Abstract

REVIEW ON VIRECHANA KARMA (THERAPEUTIC PURGATION)

Himanshu Sharma* and Pushpinder Singh

ABSTRACT

Purification is given more importance because disease once cured by pacification may circumstantially be provoked again, where as it cannot ever do so once it is totally expelled by biopurification method. Shodhana is necessary because without this any palliative treatment do not work properly Among the Panchkarma therapy by Virechana, Pitta Dosha clears not only from the Amashaya but from all over the body i.e., from cellular level.
