WHAT
IS PANCHAKARMA?
Panchakarma
is a treatment which is based on ayurvedic concepts of doshas,
the body accumulates excess of doshas which is the main
reason for sickness, thus it a deep detoxification stronger
than any other system of cleaning .The cleaning removes
all kind of toxins physical and mental from body .
Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means “five actions”
or “five treatments.” This is a process used
to clean the body of toxic materials left by disease and
poor nutrition. Ayurveda says that imbalanced doshas create
waste matter. This waste matter is called Ama in Ayurveda.
Ama is a foul-smelling, sticky, noxious substance that needs
to be evacuated from the body as thoroughly as possible.
Panchakarma will stick out the excess doshas (or imbalances
in the dosha) along with the sticky Ama out of your system
by means of the body waste evacuation channels such as sweat
glands, urinary tract, intestines, etc. panchakarma is,
thus, a balancing operation.

intestine, an antacid powder for cleaning the liver, as
to liver alkaline substances can go and purgation tablets

One day after the treatment the person regains his strength.
Vasti: {Enema}: Basti involves
introducing medicinal substances such as sesame oil, calamus
oil, or other herbal decoctions in a liquid medium into
the rectum. Basti is especially good for vata disorders.
It alleviates constipation, distention, chronic fever, the
common cold, sexual disorders, kidney stones, heart pain,
vomiting, backache, neck pain and hyper acidity. Such vata
disorders as sciatica, arthritis, rheumatism, and gout can
can also be treated by Basti.
There are about 80 vata related disorders
in Ayurveda. About 80 percent of them can be treated with
medicated enemas. Since vata is mainly located in the colon
and bones, the medication is administered rectally.
This is basically two types:
When cleansing enema is given the purpose is to clean the
intestine. In this blood purifier, oil, honey and rock salt
are supposed to be given. A new catheter is put in the intestine
through anus and medicine is given , when it gets uncomfortable
the patient is supposed to do deep breathing so that the medicine
moves up .One should hold it for minimum 10 minutes to maximum
45 minutes.
The oleation enema is given for softening the colon before
cleaning it and in longer treatment for strengthening the
body from vatta imbalances, after the intestines are cleaned
two or three times they get clear. After this the strengthening
process starts with giving 100 ml of oil processed with herbs
or bone marrow enemas, or sesame oil enemas , this depends
on the purpose of treatment. As the amount of these enemas
is less it is easier to hold it the enemas help in chronic
constipation, weakness, anemia, joint problem and age related
problems.
It is advised that all panchakarma patients study the diet
and rejuvenation course in order to understand the concepts
of ayurveda for better understanding of panchakarma treatment
and understanding their body and mind .
Rest is compulsory during the treatment feel extremely weak
no form of yoga, physical exercise is allowed during the therapy.One
should not take Panchakarma cleaning lightly as it is a intensive
therapy and should not attempt it if one is not ready to undergo
all the procedures and should opt relaxation as this procedure
is more easy to perform.
In cases of extreme physical weakness or acute psychological
imbalance, or if one is not ready he shouldn't’t do
Panchakarma as it is treatment which always needs to be completed
when started, In this cases he can do the Ayurvedic relation
therapies like Shirodhara, massage of different styles, take
herbs for balancing the body and mind and then attempt it
when he feels ready to undergo it. Many centre never interrogate
the patient to see if he is ready for this procedure of not,
which results in people not being able to understand what
they have attempted and serious complication.
