Panchakarma Detoxification

Panchakarma Treatment following the classical method (As per ancient treatises)

We are highly regarded as the best ayurvedic center in Kerala for delivering authentic panchakarma treatments in Kerala. We utilize both ancient and modern techniques to provide the finest Ayurvedic therapies available. Five major procedures to eliminate toxins from the nearest orifice are popularly called Panchakarma. Panchakarma treatment includes a set of five therapeutic treatments administered to the patient for the deeper and complete detoxification of the body. The presence of toxins which is accumulated, in the physical, pranic, and mental dimensions from past life accumulations, from the parents, society, improper diet, improper lifestyle, and living without awareness causes not fulfilling the purpose of creation in this universe. According to Ayurveda, detoxification is essential before undergoing any other major treatment. Even for healthy people, it is recommended to undergo this treatment once every 5 years to get rid of all the chemical toxins accumulated over the years. In some cases, Panchakarma treatment alone can use to treat many chronic diseases that will not require any further treatments afterward.

    Acharya sushrutha mentioned Asthapana vasti and Anuvasana vasti under the heading of Vasti. He included Rakta mokshana (bloodletting) as the 5th purification treatment in Panchakarma (detoxification treatments). Raktha mokshana is a procedure of removing the vitiated blood, in diseases caused by rakta and pitta. This therapy will be done only in accordance with the patient’s condition. Receiving authentic Panchakarma – detoxification treatments as per the classical way, requires 90-120 days. Each and every procedure will be monitored. By observing samyak lakshanas (the symptoms of proper saturation) then only the next treatment will be started.

    Purvakarma

    Preparatory procedure

    Before the actual Panchakarma – detoxification begins, there is a need to prepare the body with prescribed methods to encourage dislodging toxins from deeper levels.

    Deepana pachana chikitsa

    Agni (digestive fire ) is the most important parameter to be considered before starting panchakarma – detoxification treatments. Without a proper functional state of digestive fire, snehapana (oleation) does not give the desired results. It can lead to complications.

    1. Deepana Pachana treatments enhance the Agni ( Digestive fire )
    2. Ama pachana ( Clears the metabolic toxins )

    Thus it helps in better digestion and absorption. It reduces the risk of complications.

    1. Snehana (Oleation therapy)

    Snehana is the immediate treatment after Deepana – Pachana. It can be done internally and externally.

    Snehapana is the oral intake of medicated or non-medicated fat in required quantities. It helps to saturate the toxins before doing Vamana (Therapeutic vomiting) and virechana (Therapeutic purgation). It requires 3-7 days according to the state of vitiation of doshas and the individual’s constitution.

    Abhyanga is an external oil massage. After observing the proper signs of saturation of snehapana, Abhyanga should be done prior to Vamana and virechana.

    1. Swedana (Sudation Therapy)

    The process of inducing sweat through various procedures is known as swedana. Baspa sweda (Steam) is usually given before panchakarma.

    Swedana helps to mobilize the saturated toxins and then move from different parts of the body to the middle part of the body.

    Abyanga and swedana (Steam) are the preparatory procedure of all the panchakarma – detoxification treatments. Based on the panchakarma (detoxification) procedure both are giving the whole body or local parts.

    Herbal decoction enema

    Anuvasana Vasti

    Medicated oil Enema

    Administration of medicated oil or fat through the rectal route in a prescribed dose. Both (Asthapana vasti and Anuvasana vasti) vasti help to subside the vata dosha in our body. Vata dosha is predominant in the colon. It cleanses the colon.

    Nasya

    Nasal Therapy

    It is the nasal administration of medicine in the form of medicated oil or herbal juice extract or herbal powder or herbal smoke. The nose is the doorway to the brain. Administration of medicine through the nose cleanses the accumulated Kapha from the head and neck. PASCHAT KARMA (Post procedures after Panchakarma – detoxification treatments)

    Samsarjanakrama

    After Vamana and Virechana, jatharagni (Digestive fire) gets diminished. Samsarjanakrama is performed to augment this diminished Agni (Digestive fire). When all the Agni (digestive fire) remains in a normal state, then there is normal production of all dhatus (Tissue elements) and respective malas (waste products).
