The Pancha Karma is
the cornerstone of the Ayurvedic management of
disease. While diet, lifestyle and herbal
supplements play important roles in creating
and maintaining health, Pancha Karma is a
form of Ayurvedic therapy process which gets
to the root of the problem and fix the
essential balance of mind, body and emotions.
The purpose of
Pancha Karma is to developed an increased
efficiency of medicines, foods and rasayanas
(tonics). Before medicine, food or rejuvenative
tonics are taken, it is vital for the body to
become receptive so that is is capable of
absorbing and assimilating what is being taken
and that the accumulated wastes and toxins are
eliminated. Furthermore this therapy definitely
enhances one's natural immunity and therefore
providing additional protection against diseases
and disorders. Ayurveda advises undergoing
Pancha Karma during seasonal changes to keep the
metabolism strong and restrict toxins from
accumulating in the mind and body.
Among the different
eliminative steps in Pancha Karma that helps to
eliminate toxins are as follows:-
-
Therapeutic
vomiting (vamana) helps elimination from the
stomach and thoracic cavity.
-
Purgation (virechana)
helps elimination from the small intestine.
-
Therapeutic
enema (vasti) works on the colon to
eliminate toxins and strengthens the
tissues.
-
Nose drops (nasya)
cleanse toxins from the head and sinuses.
