PanchaKarma. What is it?

Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means five actions or; five treatments. Panchakarma Treatment” is the most famous detoxification process of “Ayurveda“.

It is one of the unique therapeutic procedures in Ayurveda advocated for the radical elimination of Disease causing factors and to maintain the Equilibrium of Doshas. It includes five natural methods of purgation or elimination, giving the body intensive detoxification while balancing the three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

It is the process that gets to the root cause of the problem and corrects the essential balance of Tridosha in the body by eliminating deep-rooted stress and illness-causing toxins from the body.

Panchakarma (Purification Therapy) deals mainly with the removal of toxins and waste materials from the body to purify the biological system from gross channels to eradicate the disease completely.  It is helpful in the prevention of disease, preservation and promotion of health, as well as the management of psychosomatic, neurological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and many other chronic degenerative diseases and autogenic conditions.  Panchakarma plays a vital role in Ayurvedic therapeutics and occupies an important place in the Ayurvedic system of medicine.

Panchkarma is intended not only for the elimination of the toxins but also for the replacement of the tissues. These therapies are very significant as with these treatments not only the disease is cured but also prevent relapse. All the Panchkarma procedures are indicated both in healthy person and diseased. In healthy person this is done with the purpose of preventing the disease and in diseased for cure of illness. we have a kerala massage center in dwarka
