Panchakarma

Panchakarma is a combination of five procedures that involve elaborated methods of purification to release stress, and prepare the body tissues to accept the maximum benefits of nutrition, foods, and exercises. 

Any person of the age group 18 to 70 can opt for Panchakarma; however, it is only prescribed to those patients who are fit for Panchakarma procedures as per guidelines mentioned in classical Ayurveda textbooks. It has few restrictions on pregnant women, weak persons, children, etc. 

It addresses all types of diseases by balancing all the three doshas of the body. 

No, it eliminates the toxins from the body and starts showing its effect gradually; however, one will find lightness and relief in muscular stiffness.

Light vegetarian diets are offered during the treatment. After the process, depending on the inclinations, a specific diet is prescribed. 

The general duration required for Panchakarma treatments is a minimum of 07 days to a maximum of 60 days. However, there is no pre-decided package for Panchakarma treatment as the needs of every individual are different as per his/her health condition. 

A healthy person should take all the five Panchakarma procedures for good health and prevention of disease. However, in certain disease conditions, one or more can be employed depending on the doshic predominance and state of health of an individual. 

Panchakarma procedures expel the accumulated toxic materials from the body and diseases managed by Panchakarma therapies may never occur whereas other therapies are palliative in nature.

An individual taking Panchakarma procedures should strictly follow the diet and lifestyle regimen recommended by the expert Vaidya.

No, Panchakarma treatments are helpful for healthy persons as well to promote good health and prevent the disease. It is helpful to balance the dosha imbalanced due to seasonal variations.
