What is panchakarma ?

Ayurvedic philosophy is “Rogasthu Dosha vaishamyam,dosha samyam arogatha”…The derangement in the equilibrium of doshas can cause a disease.The stress and strain offered by the environment,the food items that we take and the overactivity of our body make it highly volatile.So,the treatment methodology can also be classified as 1}SHAMANA {palliative Therapy} 2}SHODHANA{Cleansing or purification}

1.SHAMANA:It pacifies the deranged dosha through internal medication.It will not eliminate doshas or tamper with the equilibrium,but it helps to regain a normal state.

2.SHODHANA:The procedures of shodhana are meant for eliminating the morbid doshas from the body.These procedures are collectively termed as “panchakarma”.There are five important procedures.

They are:
· Vamana (emesis)
· Virechana (purgation)
· Niruhavasti (decoction enema)
· Anuvasana vasti (oil enema)
· nasal inhalation

IMPORTANCE OF PANCHAKARMA :

The characteristics of living beings are described as birth,existence,growth,reproduction,degeneration and death respectively.These phenomena exists in every individual cells.Childhood is a phase of growth and what ever wastes are produced will be removed as the excretory channels are patent enough.As the individual grows and attains maturity,production and excretion of metabolic wastes become almost equalized to that of excretion and it continues for a considerable period.After that the efficacy of the excretory channels decreases and the amount of waste tends to increase and this accumulation interferes with the growth and an inverse effect is obtained.We name this process as ageing or degeneration.Proven example is the accumulation of “free radicals” in the body.Hence the cleansing methodology i.e., “panchakarma” has to be adopted at this stage to obtain longevity.
