The word Panchakarma,’Pancha’ means five and ‘Karma’ means action or therapy. So Panchakarma means five actions or therapies. Panchakarma presents a unique approach of Ayurveda with specially designed five procedures of internal purification of the body through the nearest possible route.

Some of the diseases like improper digestion, lack of sleep, allergies, heart diseases etc. diseases are caused mainly due to deeply seated metabolic toxins. Panchakarma eliminates these metabolic toxins from the body, allowing permanent healing of tissues and channels.

Panchakarma includes Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti karma & Raktha Mokshan, using a varied kinds of Ayurvedic medicines. As far as the treatment methods are concerned Ayurveda has described the use of Shamana (Palliative treatment) and Shodhana (Bio-Purifaction methods - Panchakarma) methods.
