Abstract

Background: SharadRitu is a time for Pitta Prakopa. The body that is habituated to cold of Varsha Ritu, all of a sudden gets
exposed to heat of the sun rays. The Pitta which was accumulated in rainy season gets provoked by Ushna guna of this
season. This result in the Prakopa of Pitta and Shamana of Vata Dosha and person will land up in Pittaja Vikara. As Rakta is
having Ashraya Ashrayee Sambhandha with Pitta, diseases related to Rakta are also bound to occur. Virechana is the
purificatory measure administered in Sharad Ritu for preventing and controlling Pitta Prakopa. Aim: To evaluate the role of
Virechana in Sharad Ritu on features of Pitta Prakopa. Methods: Subjects having features of Pitta Prakopa were screened
in both SDM College of Ayurveda & Hospital Hassan and Ashwini Ayurveda College, Tumkur, Karnataka State. A total of 54
subjects aged between 16-60 years of age, who gave informed consent were considered for Virechana therapy in Sharad
Ritu. Subjects with acute systemic diseases were excluded from study. Result: When statistically analysed with Wilcoxen
test, the reduction in symptoms were significant in most of the features except for skin lesion, heaviness of body and
giddiness. Conclusion: Sharad Ritu is a season for Pitta Prakopa and Virechana Therapy has a significant role in controlling
features of Pitta Prakopa in Sharad Ritu.
