Panchakarma

Panchkarma is a part of the purification therapies of Ayurveda. "Panch" means five and ‘Karma’ means actions so literally translated, it is a set of five systematic actions used for purification of the body. It is used to bring the aggravated "Doshas" imbalance in balance and to flush out the accumulated "Ama" toxins from the body using the normal modes of elimination like intestines, sweat glands and the urinary tract.

Elimination is a natural body instinct but over a period of time, and in cases of dosha imbalance these wastes are not effectively eliminated from the body. These wastes tend to stick into the minute channels of the body known as the "Srotas" and start producing disease. Panchkarma is considered to be the most radical way to cleanse the body and thereby eliminate, once and for all the disease causing doshas and the toxins.

The treatment of disease with the help of Panchkarma is made up of three steps.

Purvkarma:

this consists of the following steps

1.Snehan (Oleation therapy): - medicated oils and ghee (clarified butter) are used. According to Ayurveda the Ghee (Clarified Butter) can travel between Cells of body very easily. Once The Ghee reaches to fine space between cells, all the fat soluble impurities are desolved in Ghee and finally the Ghee is thrown in to rectum by the body. The Ghee containing Impurities is eliminated by Virechan (Purgation). Virechan is obtained by electro-balanced purgatives, so the balance of electrolytes is maintained in body in spite of induced diarrhea.

2. Sweden (Steam Bath): -The Steam of medicated water helps opening fine pores on skin allowing the natural excretion path and heat of steam dilates the blood vessels allowing more blood to pass through muscles which supplies more nourishment.

Panchakarma:

The five steps are as follows:

1.Vamana: – Use of emetics – artificial vomiting is induced using herbs like, strong teas of locorice, salt and calamus. It is usually indicated for people with disorders of ‘Kapha’ (phlegm).

2. Virechan: – Use of laxatives – A strong purgative like senna or rhubarb is given. MAHC IS PERFORMING VIRECHAN WITH THE HELP OF ELECROLITE BALANCING PURGATIVE PREPARATION TO ELEMINATE TOXINS FROM THE BODY WITHOUT LOOSING ELECTROLYTE BALANCE OF BODY. It is normally used to eliminate high Pitta (fire) from its site in the small intestines.

3. Basti: – use of medicated enemas – cleaning enemas are primarily used to dispel high Vata (air) from the colon and to remove Doshas (Impurities). At MAHC we perform Basti with air tight, use and throw enema bags.

4. Nasya: – Nasal administration – medicinal oils or herbal mixtures are inhaled or pour in nose by drops (mixed with oils or ghee). This stimulates the nerve ending of nasal cavities resulting in better blood circulation in the sinuses. It is also good for balancing the ‘Prana vata’.

5. Rakta Mokshana: – Blood letting – this is not much in use these a days except in oriental systems of medicine.

Paschatkarma:

These include:

1.Samsarjan karma: - On completion of Panchkarma a special diet and instructions are prescribed from Maharshi Atreya Health Centre according to Prakruti (Constitution) and Life style. This diet helps the person to fulfill his/her calories requirement along with maintaining Doshas according to Ayurveda.


2. Rasayan: - It is a special form of tonification therapy. This is best done after the panchkarma. Special herbs are used to tone up the various systems of the body. The herbs are selected according to Prakruti and Disease. The duration for Rasayan is decided by experience physician at Maharshi Atreya Health Centre.

MAHC also provides ‘Shirodhara’, ‘Shirobasti’, ‘Katibasti’, ‘Hradaybasti’, ‘Janubasti’, ‘Akshibasti’ and many more self developed ayurvedic procedure.

Ayurveda recommends that everyone needs the Panchkarma. ideally it should be done three times a year, at the turn of spring, fall and winter. Today’s hectic life may not permit us such a luxury Thus MAHC recommends that every healthy human being should undergo Panchkarma once a year to stay fit and healthy through out the year.

One word of caution though, these are very specific and technical therapies and these should only and only be done under the supervision and direction of a well qualified Ayurvedic practitioner
