Procedure of Virechana Therapy

Medicinal Formulation: A specific purgative herbal formulation is prepared, often consisting of natural herbs known for their laxative properties. The choice of herbs depends on the individual's dosha and condition.

Dosage: The patient is given the purgative herbs in the form of a powder, decoction, or tablet. The quantity and form are tailored to the individual's needs.

Timing: The purgative is usually administered in the morning, often on an empty stomach, to ensure optimal effectiveness.

Monitoring: After consuming the purgative, the patient is monitored for the onset of purgation, which involves frequent bowel movements to expel toxins and excess bile from the body.

Supportive Measures: The patient may be provided with supportive measures, such as herbal teas or additional treatments, to facilitate and ease the purgation process.
