Virechana Panchakarma
The virechana panchakarma where the pitta dosha is bought under control & usually accumulates in the gall bladder, liver etc in the form of bile. Excess Pitta toxins are thrown out via stool excretion.
Virechana Panchakarma can be of benefit for gastro-intestinal problems, auto-immune diseases, respiratory system & cleaning of the gut. It provides oil to the intestines and can improve flatulence, indigestion & sinusitis.
Recommended length of Detox:
Our Ayurvedic detox programs need a minimum of 7 nights, because of this it is advisable to allow for extra nights before and at least after your detox before departing for your onward travel. This allows for rest and recovery time. Two types of Panchakarma can be completed in a 14 night stay, but the extra rest days are still advisable. We recommended a stay of 8 or 15 nights.
