Description
Panchakarma is an ancient Indian practice.
Panchakarma is a method of cleansing the body of all the unwanted wastes (toxins) after lubricating it.
The term Panchakarma consists of two words: Panch means “five”, Karma means “procedures”.
The body can be divided on the basis of the parts that need cleansing: Head, GIT, upper & lower.
The five main Karmas to cleanse the complete body are:
1). Vamanan (Therapeutic emesis)- induced vomiting helps in clearing the upper gastro till the duodenum & part of the respiratory tract.
2).Virechanam (Purgation)- induced purgation helps in clearing the lower gastro from the duodenum to the anus.
3). Anuvasana (Enema using medicated oil) – helps lubricate the rectal area & take out all the lipid soluble waste out through the anus.
4). Nasyam (Nasal instillation of medicated substances)- helps clear the respiratory tract & para-nasal sinuses.
5). Astapana Vasti (Therapeutic decoction enema) – cleanses the area from the transverse colon till the anus.
