Panchakarma

Panchakarma is the Ultimate source for Mind-Body Healing & Detoxification. It is a Sanskrit word meaning five actions/treatments. It is one of the most effective healing practices in Ayurvedic Medicine. It is an ultimate mind-body healing experience for detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system, and restoring balance and well-being. Normally the body has the inbuilt capability to efficiently process and remove the waste materials, including the degraded doshas. However, changing lifestyles, poor physical activity, improper food habits, genetic disorders, digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones, and so on are turning out to be a vital reason that regulates the body’s internal homeostasis and turn it disorganized. This leads to accumulation and spread of toxins all over the body causing disease. This body waste is called ama in Ayurveda. Ama is harmful to the body and has to be flushed out from the body. Panchakarma helps get rid of harmful Ama from the body. It is recommended based on the illness and condition of the patients on a seasonal basis; as well as when an individual feels out of balance or is experiencing illness. It is one of the most effective healing modality in Ayurvedic Medicine. It promotes Detoxification and Rejuvenation. It has three phases that include Purvakarma, Pradhanakarma and Paschaatkarma. Panchakarma begins with an initial consultation where the individual or patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type) and the nature of the health problem (if any) are determined before appropriate therapies are prescribed.
