Five basic elements of our body- Ather, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. These elements create a balance in the body called disorder or “dosh.” The three major dosh in Ayurveda are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Any imbalance in these dosh results in certain disorders ultimately leading to diseases.
Panchakarma treatment is performed by keeping individual imbalance in mind. It is uniquely done according to the dosh of an individual. The treatment involves carefully designed procedures including oil massage, herbal stem treatment, and purgation according to the unique needs of an individual. Panchakarma treatment consists of two basic measures. Firstly pre-purification is performed in the form of Snehan and Svedana. Then the actual cleansing method Shodana is done in the presence of ayurvedic experts.
