Virechana

When it comes to Ayurvedic treatment of spinal disc problems, the main thing what is important to do is- balancing of Doshas. Because as per Ayurvedic ideology, no disease can occur without imbalance of Doshas. There are certain Ayurvedic Doshas responsible for spinal disc problems. We consider these doshas at Sukhayu. Therefore we have far better results in spinal disc problems. We have thousands of slip disc cases treated without surgery. To balance these Doshas, we rely more on classical Panchakarma. Virechana for slip disc treatment is one of the main procedure among five of Panchakarma procedures.

Virechana is a part of Panchakarma that means clinical induction of purgation. Purgation in other words means loose motion. Mostly this procedure goes well . The word virechana came from Sanskrit which means purging. Purging here refers to a process that discards impurification from the body. In Panchakarma, Virechana comes in the purification process. It is one of the therapies in ayurveda and is a traditional medical method to cure.

How is Virechana done

Virechana starts with oral intake of medicated ghee in incremental quantities for 3 to 4 days. Ghee is administered empty stomach. The dosages of Ghee keeps on increasing. This follows external oil application. A doctor in the clinic periodically conducts specific ayurvedic examination before assigning the patient for virechana.

The process is followed for about 3 to 4 days to discard toxics from the body. The duration of the process may increase depending on the health and age of the person. Virechana therapy is very effective in detoxifying the body. The herbs that are used in Virechana process focus on cleansing the intestines, colon, stomach, sweat glands and liver. After the treatment, the tolerant will have to follow a strict diet for 10 days to re-establish proper digestion.
