 Panchkarma
|
|
| |
|
"Panch" means five and "karma"
means action. So, panchakarma means five different ways of treatment.
According
to Ayurveda, diseases formed in the body are due to the formation of toxins
or ama. Regular cleansing of the body by removing this "ama"
is recommended.Panchkarma is this cleansing process which helps in the
elimination of this "ama" from the body and thus prevents
formation of disease.
It is a cleansing therapy to strengthen the body’s metabolic functions
with herbal medicines and controlled food habits.
The basis of the therapy is elimination. As the wastes and excess of doshas
are eliminated from the body the person becomes healthy.
Those
who suffer from chronic disease are said to benefit by it tremendously.
In ayurvedic terms, it also helps those who undergo a seasonal imbalance
of tridoshas.

This therapy is recommended for maintaining youthfulness and building
immunity and resistance against diseases.
The panchakarma treatment is found to be helpful in chronic diseases where
treatment with allopathic medicines has its limitations.
Rheumatoid arthritis, skin diseases, hemiplegia, polio, epilepsy, insomnia,
hypertension, cardiac problems, intestinal diseases, peptic, duodenal
ulcers, ulcerative colitis and asthma are some of the conditions where
this therapy is of help.

Nasal
cleansing - Nasya/Shiro virechana
Ayurveda
suggests that the nose is the gateway to the head.
Medicated
powders, decoctions, oil drops, pastes, plant juices, infusions,
and even smoke as medication is administered into the nasal
passages.
This therapy is specially advised for diseases of the head and
neck including the five sense organs (indriyas).
It is used to treat migraine, chronic rhinitis, epilepsy etc.

The aggravated doshas above the region of clavicle – in
the head and neck are eliminated through the nose through this
process.
Decoction
or medicated oil enema therapy - Basti
“Enema is half of the medicinal therapy, or even the complete
treatment”
(charak – sidd. Ch. 1/39)
Basti
therapy is primarily used for vata excess, either alone or as
the predominant dosha deranged.
It is being practiced with a high clinical value.
This process is not like modern enema as differient medications
like herbal decoctions, herbal oils etc are used depending upon
the condition being treated.
Basti
is useful in chronic constipation, lower back pain, arthritis,
sciatica, gout, and rheumatism.
It also heals numerous neurological disorders like parkinson disease,
muscular dystrophy, hemiplegia, osteomylitis, osteoporosis, muscle
and nerve atrophy.
It helps in mental conditions such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy,
mental retardation, and sensory disorders.
Basti has multidimensional utility, it can fulfill the purpose
of elimination, palliation, nourishment and rejuvenation.
At KARE, we are getting spectacular results for various diseases
like arthritis, neurological problems etc with the help of Basti
treatment.
Bloodletting
therapy – Rakta Mokshana
It
involves releasing toxic blood from various body sites, although
mainly from the back.
Bloodletting is useful when wishing for immediate results with
pitta disorders such as skin, liver, spleen, and conditions like
gout, headaches and hypertension.
It is an invasive procedure administered by a licensed physician
only.
It is done either with the help of blunt or sharp instruments,
or using leeches. When blood becomes impure it can cause and spread
diseases. Removal of impure blood benefits the body.
Bloodletting is a helpful in removal of pitta dosha especially
when it is in excess. When it is acute and it does not respond
to the usual treatment then this therapy is helpful.
It is considered an important method to treat blood related and
pitta related diseases.
At KARE, we have had excellent results in treating patients of
varicose veins by Rakta mokshana therapy.
