Panchakarma is a method of cleansing the body of all the unwanted waste after lubricating it. Panchakarma are 5 (five) in number; hence the term PANCHA (five) – KARMA (procedures). Panchakarma treatment is unique in the sense that it includes preventive, curative and promotive actions for various diseases.
The five Panchakarma therapies are Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Therapeutic purgation), Nasya (Nasal medication), Anuvasana Basti (Medicated oil enema) and Niruha Basti (Herbal decoction enema).
Benefits Of Panchkarma Therapy
- Purification of the Body and Soul: This therapy is the ultimate solution to get rid of all impurities and toxins from the body and thus purifies the mind, body and soul.
- Basis for Complete Wellbeing: Panchakarma therapy is one of the finest ways to achieve a healthy and stress-free body.
- Balancing the vitiated doshas: As per Ayurveda, doshas are the main governing factors of the human body. It is due to the imbalances in these doshas that our body sometimes responds in an abnormal way, and we fall prey to various kinds of ailments. Panchakarma therapy thus helps to restore the balance between the doshas for proper functioning of the body. It helps to maintain a balance between all the three doshas that are responsible for governing our body.
