Overview: Panchakarma Treatment
A word that came from Sanskrit scripture, Panchakarma essentially means ‘five treatments’ or ‘five actions.’ This treatment cleanses the body of toxic matter, often left by poor dietary habits and diseases. Further about the Benefits Of Panchakarma Treatment.
Normally, the human body has a natural ability to process and remove waste matter, including vitiated doshas. However, due to repeated dietary indiscretions, genetic predisposition, irregular exercise, and poor lifestyle habits, the metabolic co-factors, digestive enzymes, and hormones that regulate internal balance can become 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 a sticky, harmful, and foul-smelling substance that the body must eliminate.
Ama refers to an undigested substance derived from food that the body absorbs without proper assimilation. Such partly digested material cannot be used by the system, and acts to clog it, eliciting an immune reaction.
