Overview: Panchakarma Treatment
A word that came from Sanskrit scripture, Panchakarma essentially means ‘five treatments’ or ‘five actions.’ It is a treatment used for cleaning up the body of any toxic matter, often left by poor dietary habits and diseases.Further about the Benefits Of Panchakarma Treatment
Normally, our human body has a natural ability to effectively process and remove any such waste matter, including the vitiated doshas, but owing to our repeated dietary indiscretions, genetic predisposition, irregular exercise routines, and poor lifestyle habits, our metabolic co-factors, digestive enzymes and hormones responsible for regulating the internal homeostasis can get disorganized. When this happens, it can bring accumulation as well as spreading of harmful toxins throughout the whole body, leading to all kinds of diseases.
All such waste matter is referred to as “ ama” in Ayurveda (the Indian medicine system). Ama is essentially a sticky, harmful, and foul-smelling matter which must be completely eliminated from the human body.
Ama is a term denoting a product that is an undigested form derived from food that gets absorbed into the system without proper assimilation. Such partly digested material cannot be used by the system, and acts to clog it, eliciting an immune reaction.
Listed Benefits of Panchakarma include:
- Cleared toxins from the entire system
- Balanced Doshas
- Healed digestive system
- Enhanced immunity
- Decreased stress
- Anti-aging
- Improved skin luster
- Weight loss (if overweight)
- Deep relaxation
- Meditative outlook in life
- Enhanced mindfulness
Panchakarma treatment purifies the body’s tissues at the deepest level and involves nasal administrations, herbal enemas, oil baths, and everyday massages. On the whole, it’s a highly pleasurable experience that cleanses up the body from the core and is recommended as a seasonal treatment in Ayurveda, particularly for the maintenance of balance and hygiene at the physical and mental levels.
Panchakarma treatment helps in the effective removal of any excess doshas and aids correction of any imbalances in them too.
