Panchakarma

Panchakarma is a structured Ayurvedic detoxification therapy designed to eliminate toxins, restore balance, and rejuvenate the body. It is carried out in three essential stages: Purva Karma (Pre-treatment), Pradhan Karma (Main Procedure), and Paschat Karma (Post-treatment Care).

1. Purva Karma (Pre-Treatment Procedures)

Before the main detoxification, preparatory therapies help mobilize toxins and prepare the body for cleansing. These include:

• Snehana Karma – Internal and external oleation to loosen toxins.
• Abhyanga – Ayurvedic oil massage for relaxation and detoxification.
• Shirodhara – Continuous pouring of warm oil on the forehead to calm the nervous system.
• Kati Basti – Warm oil therapy for lower back pain relief.
• Janu Basti – Specialized knee treatment for joint health.
• Akshitarpana – Eye nourishment therapy for vision and eye health.
• Swedana Karma – Herbal steam therapy to open pores and remove toxins.

2. Pradhan Karma (Main Detox Procedures)

Once the body is prepared, the five core detoxification treatments (Shodhana) are performed:

• Vamana – Induced therapeutic vomiting to remove excess Kapha (mucus).
• Virechana – Purgation therapy to cleanse the liver and intestines.
• Basti – Herbal enema to detoxify the colon and balance Vata dosha.
• Nasya – Nasal administration of herbal oils to eliminate toxins from the head region.
• Rakta Mokshana – Blood purification therapy to remove impurities from the bloodstream.

3. Paschat Karma (Post-Treatment Care)

Following detoxification, the body is gradually restored to normal functioning through:

• Dietary guidance – Light, nourishing meals to rebuild digestive strength.
• Herbal supplements – Ayurvedic medicines to support recovery and immunity.
• Lifestyle recommendations – Personalized daily routines to maintain balance and prevent toxin accumulation.
