Program
Virachana is medicated purgation therapy which removes Pitta toxins from the body that are accumulated in the liver and gallbladder. It completely cleanses the gastrointestinal tract. It is a safe procedure without side effects.
The benefits of Virachana can help you to root out a chronic fever, diabetes, asthma, skin disorders such as herpes, paraplegia, hemiplegia joint disorders, digestive disorders, constipation, hyperacidity, vitiligo, psoriasis, headaches, elephantiasis, and gynecological disorders.
Panchakarma is a therapy that can be done regularly (quarterly, half-yearly or yearly) to rid the body of toxins and provides protection from all kinds of diseases. As such, Panchakarma is ideal not only for people with health problems but also for health since it helps in cleansing and rejuvenation. It works on all levels of the human energy system that includes the mind, body, and emotions.
Panchakarma helps in the purification and rejuvenation of the body and mind. It does so by restoring the balance of doshas and elimination of toxins. The therapy should be followed by a proper diet and lifestyle so that the positive changes triggered by Panchakarma are maintained, and noticeable results can be seen.
Though Panchakarma may provide quick relief in relaxing and rejuvenating a healthy individual, in people with ailments it may take some time to show effects.
By Panchakarma treatment, more than 50 - 60% of Ayurvedic treatment gets completed. But to treat diseases completely, Ayurvedic medicines will be required for a specific amount of time.
After undergoing Panchakarma treatment, there is a set of diet and lifestyle rules to be followed for a period of three to seven days to enjoy the maximum benefits of Panchakarma.
Reasons why Panchakarma treatment is superior to other therapies
- It evacuates metabolic toxins and eradicates the excessive doshas
- It rejuvenates, detoxifies, nourishes, and strengthens the body tissues. Thus, it gives new life to the body
- It prevents the body from many diseases
- It protects the health of normal healthy individuals
Key benefits of Ayurveda
- Ayurveda is the most scientific, systematic, time tested, and efficacious medical science for the restoration of the health in modern human being
- Based on nature’s own laws, Ayurveda is a proven holistic medical science
- In recent times, Ayurveda has gained universal acceptance because of its unique potential of herbal treatments and Panchakarma therapies
