What are the five treatments of Panchakarma?

Panchakarma, which includes five major procedures, is meant to purify the whole body by eliminating the accumulated toxins from it. This package includes treatments like Virechana (Purgation), Vamana (Emesis), Vasthi (Enema), Nasya (Nasal Administration) & Raktamoksha (Blood-letting). The specialty of this treatment is that it can be administered both in a healthy, as well as the diseased person. When a healthy person subjects himself to Panchakarma, it has a preventive, restorative and rejuvenative effect on the body.

In the beginning of the therapy, the body is prepared for the actual process of elimination. This is done by the following processes:

(a) Deepana and Pachana: The purpose of these treatments is to keep the digestive fire at its best, by means of oral medication.

(b) Oleation can be done both internally as well as externally. Medicated ghees oils are administered orally in Internal Oleation [Snehapana], where as synchronized massage Pizhichil Kayaseka], etc., are External Oleatio  methods. Both these methods lubricate the body channels and loosen the  toxins accumulated in the body.

(c) In the Eliminative Phase, the physician, based upon the condition of the patient’s disease, decides the type of the Panchakarma treatment

The therapy will be supplemented and complemented by effective Yoga and Meditation class, conducted by professional yoga masters.
