  Article: Panchakarma: Detox the Ayurvedic Way - by Dr Amitha Rudraraju, Shymala Ayurveda  
     
 

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. The benefits of Panchakarma are enormous. One should try it to see and feel the difference. 

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. This eventually weakens our systems, which leads to causation of chronic, degenerative, and non-specific diseases. These can evolve into serious specific diseases, ultimately damaging an individual's health and wellness.

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. This cleansing process is known as panchakarma.

Panchakarma comprises the following therapies:
Vamana (emesis)
Virechana (purgation)
Nasya (nasal administration of oils)
Anuvasana Basti (nourishing enema)
Shodhana Basti (curative enema)

Panchakarma can help by reversing these negative effects of daily living. It can restore your natural state of health and wellness by cleansing your body of toxins, bringing balance into your system and improving bodily function. It can also help you sustain this process by making positive changes in lifestyle. Panchakarma is a unique natural, holistic, health-giving series of therapeutic treatments that cleanse the body's deep tissues of toxins, open the subtle channels, bring life enhancing energy, thereby increasing vitality, inner peace, confidence and well-being.
