Panchakarma Full Course Package
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.
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, includes 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 benefits out of the treatment.

Karmas 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, the 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.
