Panchkarma is a powerful purification Ayurvedic therapy that provides a unique opportunity for the system to repair and rejuvenate. 'Panch' means five and 'Karma' means actions so literally translated, it is a set of five systematic actions used for purification of the body. It is used to bring the aggravated doshas into balance and to flush out the accumulated 'ama' toxins from the body using the normal modes of elimination like the intestines, sweat glands and the urinary tract.

PANCHAKARMA

The deep cleansing process, unique to Ayurveda that enables the body to release excess doshas and toxins from its cells and expel them is called Panchakarma, which basically denotes detoxification or elimination of toxins from the body. Although the human body is considered as a great, intelligent, natural healing system capable of rejuvenating itself, the formation of toxins reduces that natural capacity. It is then Panchakarma that plays a crucial role in that correction.
Panchkarma programme can be divided mainly in three stages:
Poorva karma-preparatory procedure: Takes 3 to 7 days which include Oleation (Snehana) therapy and Fomentation (swedana)therapy
Pradhan (main) Karma - Consists of the five essential detoxification therapies, namely.
Emesis (Vamana) Therapy, Purgation (Virechana) Therapy, therapeutic Enema (basti)
Therapy Nasal medication (nasya) Therapy, Bloodletting (Rakta mokshana)
Paschat (post) Karma - Crucial follow-up that includes diet, Ayurvedic herbs and lifestyle
