Colon cleansing - cleaning with herbal mixtures (Virechana)

Depending on the doctor's diagnosis, an ayurvedic herbal remedy is used to clean the bowels: a mild-acting powder, one or more pills that have a stronger effect, or a cleansing enema. Colon cleansing is particularly important for the success of subsequent applications and an integral part of Panchakarma (internal cleansing).

On the morning, when you take the powder or the pills with your stomach sober instead of breakfast, you should gradually take a specially prepared herbal tea and warm water. After that you should not eat anything anymore. After a while, it probably rumples and tweaks a bit in the stomach and abdomen and in the form of a diarrhea, the intestine empties several times that day. Eventually, nausea may appear.
