Ayurveda or Ayurvedic science is common in the history of mankind from the ancient age. Though with the modern day technology there is a wide array of chemicals, the concern about their side-effects can’t be neglected. Panchkarma is a cleansing treatment which originated from Sanskrit where “panch” means five and “karma” means action. “Panchkarma” believes that the human body is guided by a vital energy and there are 107 vital points in our body called as “marma” points. “Panchkarma” stresses on rejuvenating those points by proper choice of the herbs to cure ailment without using unnecessary drugs. The Ayurveda is most popular in America and Canada now-a-days. There are so many good Ayurveda treatment centres across the globe. Planet Ayurveda is one of the best with its highly skilled doctors, most appropriate infrastructure, the latest research about the use of herbs and techniques for beautification and healthy living.

“Panchkarma” involves natural therapies in three stages namely

1. Poorvakarma,

2. Panchkarma (primary)

3. Paschatyakarma.

Planet Ayurveda, with their eminent doctors, is helping people curing their diseases.

1. Poorvakarma: “Poorvakarma” is the stage before the primary Panchkarma. The stage is for preparation for the cleansing. This stage consists of (i) Snehan and (ii)Swedan.

(i)Snehan: Snehan or oleation is the 1st step. Two types of oleation are done namely internal and external oleation.

In internal oleation, different oils preparations are used depending on the body type and pathology. Different ghee, medicated or plain, is also consumed along with food. The quanty of ghee varies from a teaspoon to a tablespoon.

• We have different layers of fat cells anatomically. The oil containing fat, exchanges the toxic elements.

• Some essential fats such as omega-3s, omega-6s and omega-9s are not produced in body normally. Fat supplied with oil and ghee provides them.

• Bad fats in the body are replaced by the good ones provided externally. So it helps fighting in cases of alcoholism and diabetes.

• Fat keeps heart healthy and circulates nutrients throughout the body.

(ii)Swedan: Swedan or sweating is another detoxicating process where the body temperature is raised by either wet heating, dry heating, heating in particular places to raise the temperature or a steam bath is provided using herbs by best ayurvedic doctors.

• Increasing body temperature kills bacteria, tumors, fungi, viruses.

• Sweating also simulates the natural killer cells in the body to prevent the growth of the cancer cells.

2. Primary Panchkarma: Primary Panchakarma involves five steps including (i)Vaman, (ii) Virechan, (iii)Basti, (iv)Nasya and (v)Raktmokshan.

(i)Vaman: Vaman means vomiting. As most of the people don’t have a good idea about vomiting, fasting is generally prescribed. As per the condition, the patient fasts on vegetable, protein and herbal smoothies.

• It gives complete rest of the body.

• Excessive toxins are burnt.

• Immune systems become very active.

(ii)Virechan: Virechan is purging where the patient is given castor oil with juices, ginger etc. for purging. Generally the patients will have loose bowel movements for three to eight times. A good purge is considered when there is an evacuation of clear liquids.

Virechan gives the cleansing for liver, spleen and gall bladder.

(iii)Basti: Basti corresponds to introduction of the medical products into rectum. It is also called enema. There are two types of enemas namely cleansing and restorative. Medical introduction in rectal part actually treats the large intestines which contain about 500 species of bacteria producing vitamin B12 in our body. The cleansing method uses a mixture of triphala, honey, salt or Epsom salt.

The restorative basti is offered after the cleansing to replenish the micro flora which might have been eroded in the cleansing phase. Using Ayurveda treatment with Yogurt culture, ghee, acidophilus, sesame and other herbs like ashwagandha, trifal and centella asiatica are used.

(iv)Nasya: Nasya or nasal treatment is done along with a sauna therapy and massage. In this process the sinuses are heated by wet or dry heating. Sometimes, drops of liquids from specialized herbs are used in the nostril.

• Heat expands sinus to drain easily.

• Herbal oil helps to drain the mucus and relieves nasal passage.

(v)Raktamokshan: This is the last step in this natural therapy which is actually bloodletting. Often blood donating is suggested alternatively. Researches revealed that the toxic elements in the blood get reduced by this and people lives 5 to 10 years longer.

3. Post Panchkarma involves application of adaptogenic and restorative herbs for body maintaining optimally. Planet Ayurveda, being a leading one in the field of natural medicine provides consultation and quality treatment for mankind.
