An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! But where can we find that ounce of potion for immortality?
Our goal in life is to be healthy, enjoy life and stay away from pain and suffering. However, in reality many of us are far away from that goal. A vast majority of people suffer from heart problems, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, skin problems such as Psoriasis and Eczema or some other chronic disorder. Our environment has much to do with these problems.
Panchkarma can be taken for as few as seven consecutive days to a more common fourteen days treatment and as many as thirty days and more.
“Healthy tissues bestow happiness and vitality.
Polluted tissues bring misery and disease.”
- The Kashyapa Samhita Classical Ayurveda Text
Ayurveda basically emphasizes two types of therapy i.e.
(i) Eliminatory and (ii) Pacificatory. Panchakarma comes under the Eliminatory therapy.
The five fold purification therapy that seeks to correct the imbalance of the body's doshas or bio-energies (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) in order to maintain their inherent equilibrium. The Panchakarma therapy of Ayurveda comprises of five types of advanced treatment for elimination of vitiated Dosha (toxic materials) from the body.
Charak's Classification:
· Vamana Karma (Emesis Therapy)
· Virechana Karma (Purification Therapy)
· Anuvasana Vasthi (Unctous enema Therapy)
· Nirooha Vasthi (Decoction Enema Therapy)
· Nasya Karma (Errhine Therapy)
Ayurveda is followed in a well-defined therapeutic structure, as preventive and curative methods, in order to deal with various ailments.
Shodanam (elimination)aims to remove excess Dosha (toxins) from the body. Shodanam includes Purvakarma (initial treatment) and Pradhanakarma known as Panchakarma (the main treatment comprising of five distinctive methods) and Paschathkarma (post treatment).
Samanam (alleviation) is a group of milder methods to remove toxins from the body of those who are not strong enough to undergo shodanam.
Rasayanam the rejuvenation therapy is aimed to restore the tissues through herbs and minerals. Rasayanam helps restore the vitality and leads to longevity and slowing or stopping of aging process. It compensates for wear and tear due to age and diseases. Rasayana chikitsa follows detoxification of the body through Panchakarma procedures. It presents youthfulness, energy, enhances memory and brilliance, nourishes the senses and ensures longevity.
Satvajaya (Mental Hygiene/Mental Healing) There are different categories to Satvajaya, that includes mantra (sounds), Yantra (physical devices), Tantra (directing energies of the body), meditation, gems and crystals etc. to bring equilibrium in the body and mind.
