| Panchakarma
|
 |
|
Ayurvedic
treatment is of two types –
Purificatory and Pacificatory
(Shodhana and Shamana). Of these,
the purifcatory are of five
types and is termed as Panchakarma.:
Vasti, Vamana, Virechana, Nasya
and Raktamoksha, which eliminates
toxins from the body, achieves
deep cleansing without discomfort,
allowing the rejuvenating energies
of the body to flow freely. |
|
| |
| |
 |
“Panchakarma
has become familiar to all and many
think that this is all that there
is to Ayurveda. It may be mentioned
that the later day physicians of Kerala
who improvised the process to develop
a specialized form of oil therapy
simplified Panchakarma. Popular oil
therapies like Pizhichil and Dhara
are the outcome of the probing of
the later day Ayurvedic physicians,
especially those of Kerala. A course
of Pizhichil and Dhara is an excellent
measure to rejuvenate the body and
the mind and is today mostly used
in place of more rigorous therapies
like Panchakarma and Rasayana.”
