Panchakarma - Ayurvedic Detoxification Therapy

Literally meaning “five actions”, Panchakarma is the process of removing unwanted byproducts refered as toxins from the body. According to Ayurveda, our body is crisscrossed by channels or tube like structures which aid a number of physiological processes such as breathing, blood circulation, supply of nutrients, and filtration of toxins.

The accumulation of these toxins in the body leads to the occurrence of diseases which further clog our microscopic and macroscopic channels. Panchakarma therapy is used to remove these toxic clogs from the body in order to normalize the physiological process.

Panchakarma therapy is a detoxification therapy that helps to reduce the negative effects of stress on the body and mind. This therapy aims to eliminate toxins from the body along with restoring balance of the body. Panchakarma works to enhance the strength, energy and mental clarity of an individual. Along with strengthening the immune system, Panchakarma brings about deep relaxation and sense of well being in an individual. Panchakarma includes a set of five actions: 

• Vamana: It is mainly used to eliminate toxins through therapeutic vomiting. Also known as medical emesis, Vamana is widely used in treating Kapha disorders. 
• Virechana: One of the Panchakarma therapies, Virechana is also known as medical purgation. It is mainly used to treat Pitta related disorders and gut related issues. Other health conditions that might benefit from virechana are bronchial asthma, psoriasis and diabetes. It is considered the best panchakarma treatment to manage skin disorders. 
• Basti: It is used to treat vata disorders. It is a treatment which is done with medical substances like herbal oils, and decoctions into the rectum of the person. It is mainly advised in the case of burn out, loss of appetite, calorie diet and overwork. 
• Nasya: It is a Panchakarma treatment for body cleansing. It is mainly used for clearing nasal passages and has been found useful to treat chronic sinusitis. A number of clinical trials of nasya have been carried out for ENT and mental health conditions.
• Rakta Moksha: It is a traditional Ayurvedic method used for the purification and cleansing of blood. With a number of toxins present in the gastro-intestinal tract, blood absorbs these toxins and circulates them throughout the body. Ayurveda sometimes uses leech therapy for raktamokshana. Currently Pure Herbal Ayruved Clinic is not offereing Raktamokshana Therapy.
