What is Panchakarma?

What is Panchakarma?

It is based on the principles of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine.
Panchakarma not only treats the symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of illnesses, making it a comprehensive approach to healthcare.
Personalized diagnosis and treatment is a key component of the Panchakarma approach to healing.


The Five Treatments which Constitute Panchakarma Are:

  • VamanaTherapeutic emesis

  • VirechanaTherapeutic purgation

  • Niruha / Asthapana VastiDecoction enemas

  • Anuvasana VastiOil and ghee enemas, unctuous enemas

  • NasyaNasal medication


Producer:

1. Vamana – Emesis Treatment

This refers to removing the toxins by means of vomiting.
The person is made to vomit by giving many medicines. The vomiting continues for a short while.
Vamana treatment is given after preparation procedures called Purvakarma.
After the end of the procedure, a diet plan is advised to follow for 1–7 days.
Vamana treatment is usually given for Kapha imbalance diseases.
Duration: 3–7 days.


2. Virechana – Purgative Treatment

This refers to removing the toxins by means of purgation.
The person is made to have loose motions for a short while by administering medicines.
Virechana treatment is given after the preparation procedure called Purva Karma.
After the end of the procedure, a diet plan is advised to follow for 1–7 days.
Virechana is usually given for Pitta imbalance diseases.
Duration: From 3 days.


3 & 4. Two Types of Basti – Rectal Enema

The Ayurvedic enema is quite different from the regular enema given to relieve constipation.
Basti treatment is adopted in a wide range of diseases, predominantly of Vata imbalance.
There are two types of Basti:

  • Basti with oil

  • Basti with a mixture of herbal decoction, honey, salt, etc.


5. Nasya Treatment

Instillation of powders or Ayurvedic liquids through the nose is called Nasya treatment.
It is usually prescribed for diseases of the ear, nose, throat, headache, etc.


What is the Role of Diet in an Ayurvedic Detoxification Process?

A well-balanced Ayurvedic diet is essential for enhancing cleansing body mechanisms.
Foods, as per your specific dosha, will vary.
A light, easily digestible diet helps kindle Agni (digestive fire) and reduce Ama (toxins).
During and after Panchakarma, the right diet supports tissue rejuvenation and healing.
Long-term dietary discipline helps sustain the cleansing benefits and prevents disease recurrence.


What is the Role of Lifestyle Changes During an Ayurvedic Detox Treatment?

Apart from diets, changes in lifestyle also help to enhance detoxification through Ayurveda.
They help maintain doshic balance and prevent the re-accumulation of toxins after treatment.
Consistent daily routines strengthen digestion (Agni) and promote lasting healing.
