Panchakarma
The Ultimate Mind-Body Healing & Detoxification
Panchakarma is the ultimate mind-body healing experience for detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system, and restoring balance and well-being. It is one the most effective healing modality in Ayurvedic Medicine. It promotes Detoxification and Rejuvenation. It is recommended on a seasonal basis, as well as when an individual feels out of balance or is experiencing illness.PanchaKarma – Rejuvenating Detox
Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means “five actions” or “five treatments”. This is a process used to clean the body of toxic materials left by disease and poor nutrition. Normally the body has the innate ability to efficiently process and remove these waste materials, including the vitiated doshas. However due to one’s repeated dietary indiscretions, poor exercise patterns, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition the digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones, and agnis which regulate the body’s internal homeostasis become disorganized. This can lead to the accumulation and spread of toxins throughout the physiology resulting in disease. This waste matter is called ama in Ayurveda. Ama is a foul-smelling, sticky, harmful substance that needs to be completely evacuated from the body.
Panchakarma will remove the excess
doshas and correct imbalances in them as well as eliminate the harmful
ama out of your system through the body’s own organs and channels of
elimination (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract,
stomach, intestines, etc). Panchakarma purifies the tissues at a very
deep level. It involves daily massages and oil baths, herbal enemas,
nasal administrations. It is a very pleasurable experience. Ayurveda
recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for maintaining mental
and physical hygiene and balance.
Panchakarma is a five-fold therapy; it
is highly individualized based on the needs of the individual depending
on the Ayurvedic constitutional type, doshic imbalances, age, digestive
strength, immune status, and many other factors. Depending on each
individual’s needs all or only parts of the five therapies are utilized.
Specially trained therapists must administer these procedures in a
definite sequence for a specified period of time. In addition, although
Panchakarma is for the most part a delightful and comfortable therapy,
there can be periods of discomfort associated with the profound release
of toxins, which does occur. It is therefore essential that a
knowledgeable expert who can recognize the signs of properly and
improperly administered Panchakarma supervise the therapy. Fortunately
these signs were meticulously recorded by the ancient vaidyas.
Like all medical procedures, Panchakarma
Therapy always must begin with an initial consultation by a qualified
Ayurvedic Physician who can determine the individual’s prakriti
(constitutional type), the nature of the health problem (if any), and
the appropriate degree of intensity of the prescribed therapies.
Panchakarma treatments have been shown
to create measurable brain wave coherence and to lower metabolic
activity. They allow the body and mind to drop into a profound level of
peacefulness. In this state of relaxation, it is possible to cleanse
toxins from tissues as well as to release deeply held emotional
tensions.
