Let’s Get Started with Ayurveda with Dr. Pradip Kumar Seth, (BAMS)  In this article post, we are going to go deep down on a perfect method of treatment which not only target the disease but also improves health overall i.e. Panchakarma Therapy. We are going to cover what this therapy is, how it functions and why today the importance of it is so imperative. We all have heard of the Ayurvedic medicines.

What is Panchakarma?

Panchakarma stands for five purification actions in Sanskrit. One of the ancient Ayurvedic therapies to detoxify the body and restore its equilibrium. This therapy is administered through five main step: Vamana (therapeutic vomiting), Virechana (therapeutic purgation), Basti (medicated enema), Nasya (nasal administration of medicines), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting).

Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the elements of our body that keep us in good health. But the balance can get disrupted due to known and unknown lifestyle issues like poor diet, stress, genetic predisposition or seasonal changes. If it goes out of balance, toxins begin to form in the body, causing multiple diseases. Panchakarma effectively evacuates these toxins through the channels of the body and purifies them, which treats a disorder and restores health.

How is Panchakarma Performed step by step ?

Pre  Treatment (Purvakarma): Special therapies like oil massages and steam therapy to get the body ready for detoxification. They start to loosen up the toxins and tease your body ready for the important work ahead.

Pradhanakarma (Main Treatment) This is the central part of Panchakarma and accelerates purification by fivefold therapies.

Vamana: Medical Purgation; to cleanse the toxins from the top of Gastrointestinal tract through Vomiting.

Basti – Herbalized medicated enema to cleanse toxins from the colon.

Nasya – Medicines are given through the nostrils to treat head and neck toxins.

Raktamokshana: Bloodletting is done to draw out impure blood from the body as per conditions.

Other changes in diet and lifestyle are also recommended during this phase so the body can easily acclimatise to its refreshed status.
