ABSTRACT

The study has been carried out for the comparative analysis of relevant literature in order to highlight the present topic "Clinical study on effect on Virechana karma (therapeutic purgation)". Total no. of 40 cases has been selected from OPD and IPD of Panchakarma department, through proper history taking and clinical examination prior to Virechana Karma. Only Virechana Karma Yogya subjects were selected for the Virechana Karma. Analysis of Virechan Karma on the basis of Vegiki (purgative bouts), Maniki (quantity), Langiki (clinical features) and Aantiki (end product) features were done in this study. In this study a highly significant relief was found in patients i.e. p<0.001 due to Virechana mainly vitiated Pitta Dosha (the heat energy in the body) and secondary Kapha dosha (mucus) and Vata Dosha (subtle energy associated with movement) are being expelled out which might have accounted for better relief in Virechan Yogya (indicated) individuals (Pitta Pradhan Vyadhi (vitiated pitta), Raktaj Roga (hemopoietic diseases), Shodhan Yogya Avastha (detoxification), etc.) in the above group of patients. Virechana Dravyas have properties like Tikshna (hyperfunction), Sukshma(subtle), Ushna (heat), etc. are described in Ayurvedic classics which play a vital role in the mode of action of Virechana Karma has also been explained under probable mode of action.
