Panchakarma is a very unique Ayurvedic treatment, requiring proper guidance by a highly trained and skillful Ayurvedic practitioner. One should always consult an Ayurvedic physician before undergoing this treatment. Panchkarma is tailored to suit each individual, bearing in mind their unique constitution and specific disorder, and thus requires close observation and supervision.
panchakarma In our busy, stressful and toxic world, our bodies are severely affected by stress and strain. As a result, our physical and mental systems accumulate toxins, causing deterioration in the way our bodies function. The internal environment in the body is governed by vata, pitta and kapha, which are constantly reacting to the external environment. An improper diet, lifestyle, incompatible food combinations (such as milk and fish, cooked honey etc.), seasonal changes, repressed emotions and stress factors can all act either together or separately to change the balance of vata, pitta and kapha.
According to the nature of the cause, vata, pitta or kapha undergo aggravation or derangement, which affects the agni (gastric fire) and produces ama (toxins). This ama enters the bloodstream and is circulated throughout the body, clogging the channels. The retention of toxins in the blood results in toxaemia. To stop the further production of ama, Ayurveda suggests that a person should follow a good lifestyle, diet, exercise and cleansing process
The main preparatory practices called purva karma are oleation and fomentation. The oleation was started with the ghee, and continues now with daily warm oil massage. Ayurveda is a science of natural health care that originated in India as a sister science to yoga. It is approximately 5,000 years old and yet its teachings are timeless.
