Virechana Karma, the therapeutic purgation, is one of the five principal Shodhana therapies (Panchakarma) in Ayurveda. Primarily indicated for the expulsion of vitiated Pitta dosha, it plays a crucial role in managing a wide spectrum of disorders involving Pitta, Rakta, and metabolic dysfunction. With increasing global interest in detoxification therapies, Virechana Karma has garnered attention for its potential applications in gastrointestinal, dermatological, metabolic, and hepatic disorders. However, a systematic evaluation of its safety, efficacy, and therapeutic outcomes is essential for its broader acceptance and integration into contemporary healthcare.References
