Panchakarma Therapies

Ayurvediya Chikitsa (Ayurvedic treatment) has eight main branches which are further divided in to sixteen sub branches. The treatment is not aimed at simply relieving symptoms but to bring back the balance of physical-mental and spiritual aspects of an individual.

The physicians will explain to you how the condition is understood in Ayurveda as to the etiology, signs and symptoms, stage of disease, relieving and aggravating factors , what is beneficial to cure the condition and most importantly what would be the best line of management.

In Ayurveda treatment is basically 2 fold.

  • Shamana Chikitsa – This is a treatment where Doshas are pacified and controlled keeping them inside body.
  • Shodana Chikitsa- when there is a large imbalance of Doshas these are liquefied and removed from the body through nearest narutal route. This removal of doshas is called the cleansing treatment or the detox treatment. Depending on the individual these therapies vary. These purificatory therepies should be followed under the supervision of an Ayurvedic physician.
