The name ´Ayurveda´ comprises of two Sanskrit words – that is, ´Ayur´ - ´life´, and ´Veda´- science, so ´THE SCIENCE ABOUT LIFE´. Ayurveda is seen as the ´mother of all the healing systems´. The most perfected, worked-through system of medicine, that consequentially looks at a person in his complexity, and as a unique individual that is influenced by inner and outer effects. The aim of Ayurveda is
harmony – health, which is our original nature. All illnesses, be they physical or psychological are the consequence of a certain break from our original state of encoded balance. When we find the reason for the unbalanced state we can revive the natural state of balance, i.e. This is how Ayurveda looks for and often finds hidden reasons that only in the final outcome are demonstrated as health problems. It does not only concentrate on the removal of problems that have already appeared, but on the real reason for their appearance, and with this at removing the possibility of their return. Panchkarma
Today’s hectic lifestyle,which results in improper diet,producing waste materials not beneficial to the body. They are not properly excreted through the body, resulting in the hazardous accumulation. These can evolve into serious specific diseases, ultimately damaging an individual’s health and wellness. The ancient Indian science of ayurveda mentions certain procedures which help in preventing diseases’rather than curing a person after the diseases have occurred. Panchkarma is a group of five procedures which help to remove the waste material from the body,helping in the elimination of the root cause and resulting in quick control over the diseases.It is a unique, natural, holistic, health-giving series of therapeutic treatments that cleanse the body’s deep tissues of toxins, open the subtle channels, bring life-enhancing energy thereby increasing vitality, inner peace, confidence and well-being. Shodhana treatment aims at removal of the causative factors of somatic and psychosomatic diseases. The process involves internal and external purification.Shodhana therapies expel the aggravated doshas from the body. Panchakarma treatment focuses on metabolic management. It provides needed purificatory effect, besides conferring therapeutic benefits. This treatment is especially helpful in neurological disorders, musculo-skeletal disease conditions, certain vascular or neuro-vascular states, respiratory diseases, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Branches of Panchkarma:
Vamana - Emetic Therapy (Supervised Vomiting),
Virechana - Laxatives,
Basti - Herbal Enema
Nasya - Nasal Administration
Rakta Mokshana - Blood Letting
Pre-Panchakarma procedures (external and internal oleation and induced sweating) .As the dosha are located in remote areas of the body, generally there is no direct outlet for their elimination. Therefore, some preparatory treatments are first induced in order to soften the dosha and move it to either the stomach or the intestine from where the dosha is eliminated using the above-mentioned techniques.The Panchakarma therapeutic process appears quite simple in its application. However, its effects are powerful and effective. Dr.Ravi Chavda ,B.A.M.S.,M.D.(A.Med)
