Abstract Nitya Virechana, a form of daily therapeutic purgation, is a specialized modality within the Panchakarma branch of Ayurveda that emphasizes the controlled and regular elimination of vitiated doshas, particularly Pitta, from the body. Unlike classical Virechana, which requires extensive preparatory procedures such as Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (fomentation), Nitya Virechana is gentler and administered without these preliminary steps. It is particularly suitable for chronic disorders, individuals with compromised strength (alpa bala), and conditions marked by excessive dosha accumulation. This review explores the classical basis of Nitya Virechana, referencing authoritative Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita, which emphasize its utility in managing abdominal and chronic systemic disorders. The rationale for its application lies in its ability to clear obstructed srotas (body channels) and maintain doshic balance with minimal risk of adverse effects. The selection of purgative drugs is tailored based on the doshic predominance, the patient’s constitution (prakriti), digestive fire (agni), and seasonal factors (ritu). Various dravyas, including Eranda Taila, Haritaki, Trivrit, and Triphala, are employed in suitable forms and dosages to achieve specific therapeutic outcomes like Anulomana, Sramsana, Bhedana, and Rechana. Clinical applications of Nitya Virechana extend to conditions such as Kushtha (skin disorders), Gridhrasi (sciatica), Udara Roga (ascites), Tamaka Swasa (asthma), and Amavata (rheumatic disorders). By offering a sustainable and manageable approach to detoxification, Nitya Virechana presents itself as a cornerstone therapy in the long-term management of chronic ailments. This article underscores the significance of clinical discernment in the judicious use of this therapy, ensuring safety, efficacy, and alignment with Ayurvedic principles.
