Panchakarma Packages
Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word meaning “five actions or treatments.” The Panchakarma is the most significant treatment for purification and detoxification in Ayurveda. Panchakarma is a process of purifying the whole body to attain proper balance of Vatha, Pitha and Kapha (Three body humors). Panchakarma encompasses five therapies: Vamanam (Induced vomiting), Nasyam (Nasal medication), Virechanam (Induced purgation), snehavasthi (Oil enema), kashayavasthi (Decoction enema) and Rakthamoksam (Blood letting). These five therapies collectively help remove deep routed stress and illness causing toxins from the body while balancing the three Doshas (energies that govern all biological functions). The treatment involves daily massages and oil baths, herbal enemas and nasal administrations. Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for maintaining mental and physical hygiene and balance. Pancakarma is basically a bio-cleansing regimen which facilitates the body system for better bioavailability of the pharmacological therapies, besides achieving homeostasis of doshas. It also increases the acceptability of the body to various dietary regimens and use of rejuvenation therapy (Rasayana) for promoting health as well as for therapeutic regimens. These therapies help in the elimination of disease causing factors and maintain the equilibrium of body tissues (Dhatus) and humours (Doshas).
