Panchakarma - a recipe for better health
Ayurveda uses two main modalities in the treatment of disease-Shamana or palliative and Shodhana or purification therapy.
Panchakarma is purification therapy, which reverses the disease mechanism. Panchakarma or five actions are the therapeutic means of eliminating impurities from the body. It is a series of five therapies or steps that remove deep rooted stress, impurities and toxins from physiology while balancing the doshas - those energies or forces that governs all biological functions.
The miracle of human body is that it has a natural healing intelligence, which is capable of constantly rejuvenating it self. Regardless of our life style, profession, eating habits or geographical locations toxins are accumulating in our bodies. They build up over time leading to many chronic diseases. There is a simple elegance to the approach and effectiveness of Panchakarma.
Panchakarma therapy recognizes and uses the specific qualities of the patient's physiological make up to heal. It takes the advantage of naturally occurring cycles. Ayurveda aims to establish the ability to leave every aspect of life to it's fullest, in complete conscious to nature's infinite intelligence, a state often referred to as enlightenment.
