Panchakarma refers to the five principal practices used to cleanse the body of its excess bodily humors called Doshas. Maharishi Charaka,the first recorded the Ayurvedic texts introduced these cleansing practices as the axis around which all Ayurvedic healing therapies revolve, defining it as the one primary independent discipline to be employed in order to promote health. Charaka considerd it a requisite procedure before surgical operations or the administration of any of the rejuvenation therapies. Panchakarma benefits both the healthy and the unhealthy and is considered to be most effective therapy for preventing and curing diseases, as well as for revitalizing the entire human organism.
It is a process for the removal of waste products and toxic substances, which are deposited at weak points in the body on a regular basis due to seasonal changes, air pollution, water and food impurities and also by the stress and tensions of normal life.
Panchakarma includes three karmas i.e Poorva-karma (Preparation of the Body), Pradhan-karma (Main Panchakarma process) and Pashchat-karma (diet, Rasayana therapy). A particular Panchakarma therapy is given according to individual constitution and ailments.
