Panchakarma (Detoxification & Intensive Rejuvenation
Therapy)
What is Panchakarma?
|
|

|
Panchakarma is
a curative management plan for diseases. As the name suggests,
Pancha in Sanskrit stands for Five and Karma are therapeutic
measures thereby meaning five types of therapeutic measures.
These are undertaken for the purification of the body. Ayurveda
considers this necessary before the start of many other therapies.
The logic being -that the body needs to be purified (cleaned
of impurities) and rejuvenated in health before it can be
treated for complex health problems. In fact Panchakarma on
its own is a cure to many problems.
The Panchakarma
therapy of Ayurveda comprises of five basic types of advanced
treatment for elimination of vitiated Dosha (toxic materials)
from the body. One can consider this as a cleansing program
of toxins from the body. There are many subtypes of this therapy
and different types of herbal massages, steam bath, external
oil treatments, Basti (medicated enemas), Virechana (purgation
through herbs), Vamana (emesis through herbs), Nasya (nasal
administration of oils) etc. are incorporated. These practices
are extremely helpful in relieving deep seated diseases as
well as it is also beneficial for maintaining and improving
physicalandmentalhealth.

Therapies given to each patient in Panchakarma depends on the
body type and health problems.
PURVAKARMA:
Pre-purification Measures for Panchakarma Before the actual
operation of purification begins, there is a need to prepare
the body in prescribed methods to encourage the body to
let go of the toxins. The two procedures are Snehana and
Swedana.
|
1. Snehana (Abhyangam)
is the oil massage. Oil is applied to the entire body
with a particular type of massage which helps the toxins
to move towards the gastro-intestinaltract. Oil massage
also makes the superficial and deep tissues soft and supple,
thus helping toremove stress and to nourish the nervous
system. Snehana is given daily for three to seven days,asindicated.
2. Swedana is sudation or sweating and is given
every day immediately following the Snehana. An herbal
concoction may be added to the steam to further loosen
the toxins from the individual. Swedana liquefies the
toxins and increases the movement of toxins into the gastro-intestinaltract.
PRADHANAKARMA:
Main Purification measures of Panchakarma are as
follows Vamana: Emesis Therapy When there is congestion
in the lungs causing repeated attacks of bronchitis,
colds, cough or asthma, the Ayurvedic treatment
is therapeutic vomiting, Vamana, to eliminate the
Kapha causing the excess mucus
|
Virechana:
Purgation Therapy When excess bile, Pitta, is secreted
and accumulated in the gall bladder, liver and small
intestine, it tends to result in rashes, skin inflammation,
acne, chronic attacks of fever, biliary vomiting,
nausea and jaundice. Ayurvedic literature suggests
in these conditions the administration of therapeutic
purgation or a therapeutic laxative.
Nasya: Nasal Administration The nose is the
doorway to the brain and it is also the doorway
to consciousness. The nasal administration of medication
is called Nasya. An excess of bodily humors accumulated
in the sinus, throat, nose or head areas is eliminated
by means of the nearest possible opening, the nose.
Basti: Enema Therapy Vata's predominant site
is the colon. Ayurvedic Basti involves the introduction
into the rectum of herbal concoctions of sesame
oil, and certain herbal preparations in a liquid
medium. Basti, is the most effective treatment of
Vata disorders, although many enemas over a prescribed
period of time are usually required. It relieves
constipation, distention, chronic fever, cold, sexual
disorders, kidney stones, heart pain, backache,
sciatica and other pains in the joints. Many other
Vata disorders such as arthritis, rheumatism, gout,
muscle spasms and headaches may also be treated
with Basti. Basti therapy is divided in two main
types, i.e. Anuvasana Basti or medicated oil enemas
and Niruha Basti or medicated enema of decoctions
and medicated oils

body
-To enhance the power of digestion and metabolism

-To restore normal health
-To gain the strength, increase the virility
and improve the progeny.
-To rejuvenate and bring back youthfulness
-To increase the power of sense organs and
motor organs |

According to Ayurveda, every human being is
a unique phenomenon of cosmic consciousness.
The three Dosha (humors) determines every
individual's psychosomatic temperament or
constitution. Vata (ether plus air), Pitta
(fire plus water) and Kapha (water plus earth)
are called the Tridosha, meaning the three
Dosha. The internal environment is governed
by Vata -Pitta -Kapha (V-P-K), which is constantly
reacting to the external environment. The
wrong diet, habits, lifestyle, incompatible
food combinations (e.g. milk and fish, melons
and grain, yogurt and meat or cooked honey
etc.), seasonal changes, repressed emotions
and stress factors can all act either together
or separately to change the balance of V-P-K.
According to the nature of the cause, Vata,
Pitta or Kapha undergo aggravation or derangement
that produces Ama (toxins). To stop the further
production of Ama Ayurvedic literature suggests
putting the person on a proper diet with appropriate
lifestyle, habits and exercise, and administering
a proper cleansing program such as Panchakarma.

Seasonal
Purification by Ayurveda & Yoga
The
base for health maintenance and
disease prevention in Ayurveda
is purification. some of the guidelines
are given for routine seasonal
cleansing practices of Ayurveda
and yoga.
|
Winter
to spring : During the juncture
of seasons between to spring (APRIL)
KAPHA, the bioforce of growthstructure
and mucus is aggravated. Ayurveda
recommends the method of 'Vamana'
(use4 of emetics to induce vomiting
other practices include heat elimination
therapies, nasya (nasal medication),
Exercise, Fasting, less sleeping
and Dry Massage. In yoga, the
main purificatory methods are
'Vamana Dhauti (purification by
vomiting),and vastra Dhauti (purification
by means of a cloth) other practices
used include Neti (Nasal Cleansing)
and Kapal-bhati (skull shinning)
Spring To Summer : During
the juncture of seasons from spring
to summer (june) PITTA, the bioforces
of heat , is naturally aggravated.
In Ayurveda, the main purificatory
practice used is Virechana (purgation
and Rakta mokshana (Blood Letting).
Massage is also recommended. In
Yoga, varisara dhauti or shankha-
prakshalana (intestinal washing
with saline water) is used. Also
nauli (Intestinal churning) and
Kapal-bhati are practiced.
Summer To Autumn : During
the juncture of season from summer
to Autumn ( october) VATA, the
bioforce of movement and dryness
is naturally aggravated. In ayurveda
Basti (medicated herbal enema)
is main purificatory practice
recommended. Other practices include
oil massage, svedana (sweating)
and snehan (oiling ). In yoga,
basti (enema ) is also recommended
with certain breathing practices
and postures to help maintain
the balance of the air and movement
producing bioforce.
Autumn to winter : During
the juncture of season from Autumn
to winter (december ) KAPHA, the
bioforce ofgrowth and mucus begins
to accumulate and vata , should
naturally be pacified. None ofthe
bioforces are inherently aggravated.
None of the bioforces are inherently
aggravated. often, however when
an individual's Agni is not balanced
it will increase erratically during
this time to meet the demands
of the cold and diminishing light
of winter. This will cause dryness
(A vata derangement as well as
some pitta disturbance due to
the erratically inflaming agni.
When dryness become a prominent
symptom then Snehan (oiling) in
the form of oil massages, oil
enemas, nasal medication and increasing
essential fatty acids in ones
diet can be very helpful. |
