About Panchakarma
Ayurvedic medicine is one of the oldest
healing systems in the world, originating in
the ancient civilizations of India
documented 5000 years ago. Ayurveda in
Sanskrit means "knowledge of life."
Panchkarma is based on the central concept
of Ayurveda that disease is caused by the
build-up of toxins which causes an
imbalances in three doshas in the mind -
body complex.
Panchkarma - Ayurvedic Complete
Detoxification and Cleansing Programme
Panchkarma is Ayurveda's primary
purification and detoxification treatment.
Panchkarma is derived from two words i.e.
PANCH meaning five and KARMA meaning steps (
cleansing procedures). These five procedures
of eliminating toxins from the body are
Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and
Raktamokshana. This series of five procedure
helps remove deep rooted toxins from the
body thereby balancing the doshas (energies
that govern all biological functions).
According to Ayurvedic medicine, a person's
natural state is one of health, happiness,
and inner well-being. This means that the
body is free of toxins; organs function
normally; the mind is at peace and emotions
are balanced and positive. Unfortunately,
with the pressures of daily life over time,
toxins build up in the body causing both
physical and mental ailments. Panchkarma can
reverse these negative effects and restore a
natural state of health and wellness by
cleansing the body of toxins, restoring
balance to the system, and improving bodily
function.
WHY PANCHKARMA?
Panchkarma treatments have been shown to
create measurable brain wave coherence and
to lower metabolic activity. They allow the
body and mind to drop into a profound level
of peaceful-ness. In this state of
relaxation, it is possible to cleanse toxins
from tissues as well as to release deeply
held emotional tensions. You will experience
calmness and clarity resembling the crystal
water of a still mountain lake.

Panchkarma is a unique experience that
leaves the mind and body feeling relaxed and
rejuvenated. Many illnesses result from the
build-up of toxins in the body that can
impair the functioning of its natural
defenses such as the lymph, circulatory, and
immune systems. Panchkarma promotes healing
and restoration by eliminating these toxins
from the body. However, unlike other
detoxification programs, Panchkarma is a
gentle process that achieves deep cleansing
without discomfort, allowing the
rejuvenating energies of the body to flow
freely.
The main aim of this treatment is to
eliminate the internal causative factors of
the diseases. Large quantities of toxic
bi-products are formed in the body as a
result of continuous metabolic process.
Although most of these toxins are eliminated
naturally by the body's excretory system,
some may get deposited in the various
tissues of the body, which ensures the
vitiation of Doshas, Dhatus etc. and then
the normal functioning of the system is
impaired. Similarly, disease causing toxins
accumulate in the body as a result of
various factors like unhealthy life style ,
wrong food habits, incompatible combination
of food items, suppression of the body
urges, emotional imbalance etc.
Panchkarma is the cornerstone to Ayurvedic
management of disease. Panchkarma is the
process which gets to the root cause of the
problem and corrects the essential balance
of 'Tridosha' in body. Panchkarma is not
only good for alleviating disease but is
also a useful tool in maintaining excellent
health.
Although Panchkarma is often thought of as
the entire procedure, it really is only one
part of a group of therapies belonging to a
class of cleansing procedures called 'shodhana'.
There is also a group of milder techniques
called 'Shamana' for those not strong enough
for shodhana.
