ByMuskaan Listings

Panchakarma Treatment in Ayurveda defines health as a condition where the body is clear of toxins and organs are functioning normally, the mind is at peace and emotions are calm and happy. In a stressful and toxic environment, our physical and mental systems accumulate toxins causing deterioration in functioning of body-mind complex which opens the door for chronic, degenerative and non-specific diseases to develop. These can evolve into serious specific diseases, ultimately damaging an individual’s health and wellness.

Panchakarma is the ultimate Ayurvedic detoxification of body and mind. It also strengthens the immune system to restore health and well-being. It is a compendium of therapies that are highly individualized based on the Ayurvedic constitution type (Prakruty), imbalances (if any), digestive fire, age, immune status, health conditions & many other factors. Depending on an individual’s needs all or part of five therapies are utilized. Panchakarma programme starts with the initial consultation by our physician to determine the individual’s Body-Mind constitution, health condition(s) and appropriate degree of intensity of detoxification required.  Based on the initial consultation, one, two or more therapies are prescribed for the day. These therapies are conducted using the constitution specific Ayurveda oils and/or medicines.

Below is the description of variety of therapies used in a Panchakarma programme :

  • Vamana, induced emesis using Ayurveda medicine or SNEHAPANA, internal oleation therapy
  • Virechana, purgation induced by Ayurveda medicines
  • Nasya, Detoxification of upper respiratory tract by administration of Ayurveda drugs in nasal cavity
  • Basti, Ayurvedic herbal enema to cleanse out toxins from lower colon
  • Swedana, herbalized individual steam bath

Maintaining a healthy daily routine with regular dietary patterns, exercise, sleep and sexual pattern is important to maintain the benefits of the procedure.
