Abstract

Panchakarma therapy aims at the elimination of excessive Doshas from the body to maintain the state of health for a longer duration, while the Shamana therapy is for suppression of vitiated Doshas within the body. Virechana is one of the Panchakarma therapy. Virechana is the bio-purification procedure of Ayurveda when Doshas are expelled out from the body through the anal route then it is called Virechana. Normally, after Virechana Karma, patient does not complain of having any untoward like those present after diarrhea due to dehydration. Thus, Virechana Karma is one of the important bio-purificative method which is indicated for complete elimination of Doshas and thus result in eradication of diseases. Patient was treated with Shodhana in the form of Virechana Karma followed by oral medication. The patient reported symptomatic improvement.
