Virechan preferred for Pitta and liver disorders (e.g., gall stones). Because this cleansing weakens the
digestive fire, it is not always recommended for Vyu Doshas. Kapha Doshas, however,
benefit from this therapy, as they have excess bile, congestion, fat, or phlegm.

This is the simplest method of Panchakarma and has most easily observed effects. It is an
excellent method to heal various conditions, including abdominal tumours, haemorrhoids,
smallpox, patches of skin discoloration on the face, jaundice, chronic fevers, and enlarged
abdomen.

Virechana has less chances of complication and those can be easily managed.

It also helps constipation, old fevers, acute diarrheal, dysentery, food poisoning, kidney
stones, boils, carbuncles, excess bile, or toxic blood conditions. For those who have not had
Vamana (emesis), there are 3 days of snehapana, followed by 3 days of body oleation and
sudation before beginning Virechana (purgation). If Virechana follows a Vamana therapy,
then after the 7 days of proper diet (samsarjana), 2 days of regular meals are eaten. On the
9th day, snehapana (drinking ghee) is begun for 3 days. The following 3 days persons
receives oil abhyanga and sudation for three additional days. On this 15th day (since starting
samsarjana) Virechana is begun. If sudation (sweating) is contraindicated, then Virechana
begins after the third day of snehapana (drinking ghee).
