Body purification Packages (Shodhana Chikitsa)
At Ayur Health Veda, we provide authentic and pure treatment that rejuvenates your body and spirit.
We offer body purification packages unique to each individual and their body type(dosha), by identifying the underlying factors responsible for the ailment.
Our body is constituted by three doshas (Tridoshas)namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Over a period of time, due to hectic routines, unhealthy habits, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, food habits, etc., there is an accumulation of toxins in our bodies. This causes an imbalance in these Tridoshas.
Shodhan means “elimination or expulsion or Cleansing”.
When our body accumulates excessive toxins and is unable to excrete them naturally, our body needs Shodhan Chikitsa.
Body purification Therapy (Shodhana Chikitsa) consists of five procedures mainly known as Panchkarma.
Concept of Tridosha-
According to Ayurveda, our body is constituted by 3 main components/ doshas namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
These doshas represent various systems of the body like nutrition, metabolism, and the nervous system.
The balance between these doshas is very important for the healthy state of a person. Whenever this balance is disturbed, diseases may manifest.
Ayurveda believes in maintaining and restoring this state of equilibrium between doshas for which it advocates various regimens and treatment modalities like Dincharya, Ritucharya, Adharniya Vegas, Rasayan- vajikaran, and Panchkarma.
Concept of Panchkarma-
Various methods by which the body is cleansed of all the unwanted waste are called Panchkarma.
These procedures are 5 in number hence the term Pancha (five) karma (procedures).
These five karmas not only help a healthy person maintain his health but also, include preventive and curative actions for various diseases which are otherwise considered untreatable in the modern era.
Panchkarma is an inseparable part of Ayurveda and it has been recommended that each and every person should undergo Panchkarma for maintaining good health. Also, it is recommended that it should be done before starting any medication so that the person can receive the maximum benefit from the treatment.
Brief description of Five Karmas-
• Vaman (Therapeutic emesis)-
It is a process of induced vomiting performed under the strict supervision of qualified Ayurvedic physicians and it helps clear the toxins from the whole body mainly from the upper Gastro to the duodenum (end of stomach) and chest region including the respiratory tract. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Kapha dosha.
• Virechan (Therapeutic purgation)-
It is a process of therapeutic purgation performed under the strict supervision of qualified Ayurvedic physicians and it helps clear the lower Gastro from the duodenum till the anal opening. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Pitta dosha.
• Anuvasana Basti (Medicated oil Enema)-
Enema of oils medicated with various Ayurvedic Herbs and minerals not only lubricate the rectal area but they get absorbed in the whole body and give nourishment to every cell of the body. It also expels lipid-soluble toxins and wastes out of the body through the anus. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Vata dosha.
• Asthapana Basti (Medicated Decoction Enema)-
Enema of decoction of various herbs and minerals mixed with other ingredients cleanses the body mainly from the transverse colon to the anus. It also gets absorbed in the body and works on every cell of the body hence helping in various diseased conditions and helping avoid developing diseases by removing toxins from the body. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Vata dosha.
• Nasyam-
Various medicated substances like oils or decoctions are instilled through the nose. It clears the respiratory tract and paranasal sinuses. This procedure mainly helps balance the vitiated Kapha dosha. Ayurveda believes that the Nose is the entry point of the brain hence these procedures help in various conditions of the brain and help in various diseases and helps calm and nourish your brain.
Karmas/procedures before and after Panchkarma–
While performing Panchkarma, three steps are followed.
•Poorv Karma-
Procedures performed before the main procedure of Panchkarma are called Poorv karma.These procedures enable a person to obtain the maximum benefits of panchkarma therapy. It includes mainly two procedures- Snehan (oleation) and Swedan (fomentation). Medicated oils or clarified butter (ghee) containing various herbs are used orally and applied on the whole body and after that whole-body sweating is induced.
With the help of these procedures, toxins lodged throughout the body are dissolved, melted, dislodged, and carried toward the gut for removal by expulsion.
•Pradhan Karma –
These are the main procedures of Panchkarma. On the basis of various observations of the physician, the proximity of the waste toxins to be expelled, and the requirement of the condition of the person, it is decided which of these five procedures are to be done. If Kaph dosha is increased or respiratory tract waste is more, Vaman may be selected. If Pitta dosha is prominent and waste is accumulated in the lower gastro region, Virechan may be selected.
•Pashchaat Karma-
After pradhan karma, some dietary regimen is followed for proper restoration of the body’s capacity for digestion and absorption.
