What is Panchkarma?

Ayurveda has given the world a lot of things. These things have changed the way humans live The importance of Ayurveda is immense and it is one of the most widely practised traditional systems of medicine. The breadth of Ayurveda comes from its multifaceted nature as well as to its branches that have facilitated the use of medicines according to the maladies present.

Arguably the most renowned of these branches is Panchkarma techniques of Ayurveda. The name Panchkarma literally means “Five Actions” which is apt given the fact that this technique depends on five different elemental actions that control the body namely Vomiting, Purgation, Niruham, Anuvaasan, and Nasyam. In a way, this Panchkarma healing technique is the pillar upon which a majority of Ayurvedic techniques stand. All of the styles and methods that Ayurveda has, they all have been inspired or derived somehow from these elemental actions.

Panchkarma works best with the use of medicated oils that are used to purge the human body of any impurities that it might be harbouring inadvertently. It is one of Ayurveda’s classical methods, and your physician decides whether it is suitable for you. Panchkarma is the true embodiment of Ayurvedic values and it lives up to its reputation.
