Panchakarma, central to Ayurveda, involves a comprehensive cleansing process that addresses both body and mind, including the “ten indriyas” – the five sense organs and five organs of action. It effectively detoxifies the body and restores dosha balance disrupted by toxins from poor nutrition, stress, and an imbalanced lifestyle. A typical Panchakarma program may include oil massage, snehapanam, nasyam, virechanam, snehavasthi, shirodhara, pizhichil, njavarakizhi, karnapuranam, tarpanam, shirovasti, medicinal steam baths, herbal drinks, and medicines. For average health, a 21-day course is ideal, though a 14-15 day course can also yield significant, lasting results.
Panchakarma
Ayurveda, the oldest science of health maintenance, emphasizes Panchakarma as its foundational procedure for ensuring health, vitality, and a zest for life. According to Ayurveda, diseases originate from the accumulation of toxins in the body, akin to a clogged water pipe that can obstruct the entire system if not cleaned. Similarly, the human body requires timely detoxification through a well-developed system to maintain balance and prevent blockages. This system, known as Panchakarma, involves five distinct actions—where "Panch" means "five" and "karma" means "action"—each tailored to specific needs and applications.
Nasyam
A procedure for cleansing the head and upper respiratory tract involves steaming the collar zone of the head and face, performing a massage, and introducing special oil-based drops into the nose and mouth to facilitate the elimination of toxins. This method helps with headaches, colds, migraines, glaucoma, hoarseness, central nervous system disorders, and other issues. It also helps to normalize the Kapha dosha.
Vamana
A cleansing procedure using emetics, though rarely used today and often replaced by other similar procedures, is designed to remove toxins from the upper body. It is typically prescribed for advanced chronic diseases and helps with conditions such as chronic upper respiratory tract diseases, obesity, psoriasis, swelling, and hyperacidity. This procedure also helps to balance the Kapha dosha.
Virechana
A procedure for cleansing the middle part of the body using laxatives, which can be administered in the form of tablets, drops, or tea, is typically performed on one day during the Panchakarma course. This procedure helps address issues with the stomach, liver, small intestine, kidneys, pancreas, and other related organs, and is effective in balancing the Pitta dosha.
Anuvasana
Enemas with medicated oil help eliminate toxins and lubricate the body, enriching it with nutrients. These small enemas normalize the functioning of the intestines and stomach while improving the mental and energetic state of a person. They are particularly effective in balancing the Vata dosha, treating mental disorders, sleep problems, and other related issues.
Niruhavasti
Enemas with medicinal decoctions have cleansing properties and are aimed at removing toxins from the lower part of the body. They help improve metabolism and treat issues such as infertility, spasms, constipation, arthritis, rheumatism, and gynecological problems, balancing both Vata and Pitta doshas. Before starting the main Panchakarma procedures, it's essential to undergo oiling of the body, known as snehapana. This technique targets the skin, the largest organ of the body, and involves saturating the smallest cells with oil to reach toxins accumulated in deep layers. Oiling, massage, and steam procedures help remove some toxins and direct the remainder to the gastrointestinal tract for further elimination. An Ayurvedic doctor customizes the procedures based on individual problems, diseases, and constitution, as Ayurveda encompasses not only massages and medications but also a comprehensive approach including body rejuvenation, nutrition, and the restoration of vessel elasticity. For optimal results, a Panchakarma course is recommended for 14-21 days.

Rasayana Chikilsa, also known as rejuvenation therapy in Ayurveda, is designed to maintain youthfulness and agility by revitalizing the body and mind.
