A GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLISHING PANCHAKARMA
CENTRE/HOSPITAL/CLINIC
Panchakarma
is a purificatory therapy that can be use for both preventive as well as
curative purpose.
Ayurveda
is the traditional, holistic and complex medical system of India. According to
Ayurveda the human body is composed of derivatives of five basic elements i.e.
ether, air, fire, water and earth (Pancha Mahabhutas) and these derivatives
must maintain an equal balance within the body to maintain health.the healing
and prevention process of Ayurveda differs from other system of medicines or
treatment. If Tridosha (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) balance disturbed in body, the
Ayurvedic perspective supports that toxins or ‘AMA’, will accumulate and
saturate the tissues of the body, this can lead to disease. Ayurveda shares,
with other holistic, multidimensional systems, the ability to provide medical
care with a healing process that is customized to the patient, maintaining the
personalization.
Panchakarma
is one of the prominent Ayurvedic tools used to restore balance to the body. It
is a bio cleansing regimen comprising of five main procedures, which
facilitates better bio availability of the pharmacological therapies, help to
bring out homeostasis of body humors, eliminate disease causing complexes from
the body and check the recurrence and progression of disease. The five fold
measures comprehended in this therapy are VAMANA (Therapeutic Emesis),
VIRECHANA (Therapeutic Purgation), ASTHAPANA VASTI (Therapeutic Decoction
Enema), ANUVASANA VASTI (Therapeutic Oil Enema), and NASYA KARMA (Nasal
administration of Medicaments). Panchakarma procedures are preceded by SNEHANA
(Therapeutic Oleation) and SWEDANA (Sudation) procedure to make body system
conductive for elimination of bio toxins and cleansing of channels. It is an
effective therapy in managing autoimmune, neurological, psychiatric and
musculo-skeletal diseases of chronic and metabolic origin.
Panchakarma is designed to allow the body to
rid itself of wastes that have accumulated and lodged in the body, creating
blockages in the intelligent flow of the various systems, including the
circulatory, nervous and digestive systems. Once the cleansing process is
complete, the body can resume its natural functioning without interference.
SOME PREVENTIVE ASPECT:
·
Psychiatric disorders e.g. anxiety,
depression etc. (SHIRODHARA)
·
Diabetes (VAMANA & VIRECHANA)
·
Hypertension (SHIRODHARA)
·
Cancer (VASTI, RAKTAMOKSHAN)
SOME CURATIVE ASPECT:
·
Cardiovascular accident (SNEHANA,
SWEDANA & NASYA)
·
Obesity (UDVARTANA, VIRECHANA, LEKHANA
VASTI)
·
Allergic asthma & COPD (VAMANA,
VIRECHANA)
·

Panchakarma
or sodhana therapy is intended for purification of the body by which the
accumulated morbid humors responsible for diseases are expel out to produce an
ideal environment for proper functioning of body. Such purification allows the
biological systems to return to homeostasis and to rejuvenate rapidly and also
facilitates the desired pharmaco-therapeutic effects of medicines administered
thereafter. Panchakarma has a full role as promotive, preventive and curative
procedure. Proper scientific validation and documentation of this karma can
only help in promoting and establishing Panchakarma for public health care.
