Panchakarma
Panchakarma is theeffective healing therapy in Ayurveda Science and Medicine. It promotes Healing, Purification, and Rejuvenation.
Panchakarma in Sanskrit means “five actions” or “five treatments”, a process that cleans the body of residual toxic materials left by disease and compounded by lack of proper nutrition, and builds immunity against infections. Though the body has the innate ability to efficiently process and remove these foreign materials, including the vitiated (Prakopa) doshas, the modern carefree lifestyle practices dent this.
The digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones, and Agni which regulate the body’s internal homeostasis become disorganized due to one’s repeated dietary indiscretions, poor exercise patterns, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition. This leads to the accumulation and spread of toxins throughout the physiology resulting in disease. This waste matter which is a foul-smelling, sticky, harmful substance is called ama. Ama needs to be completely removed from the body.
Panchakarma removes excess doshas, corrects imbalances, and eliminates the harmful ama out of your system through the body’s own organs and pores of elimination (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach, intestines, etc.). Panchakarma purifies the tissues at a very deep level.
Panchakarma is personalised based on the needs of an individual depending on the constitutional type, dosha status, age, digestive ability, and immune conditions among other factors. Depending on each individual’s need, all or only parts of the five therapies are utilized, and procedures are administered in a definite sequence for a specified period of time.
