Panchakarm is the primary healing modality within the ancient Ayurvedic science. It offers balancing rejuvenation for mind, body, and consciousness. We call this ‘wellness ’, which is achieved through a series of unique, natural, holistic, health giving, deep cleansing therapeutic treatments. These treatments rid the body of toxins and restore constitutional balance improving health, strengthening immunity, reversing negative effects of stresses which slow the aging process, and enhance self reliance, strength, energy, vitality and mental clarity.

The Patanjali Yogpeeth provides ‘Panchkarm’ treatment, strictly in accordance with the ancient traditions of Ayurveda and under the strict guidance of Acharya Balkrishan Ji Maharaj.

A Process involving steps that call for expertise and experience, Panchkarm comprises 5 steps- ‘Vaman’ (Vomiting), ‘Virechan’ (Purgation), ‘Vasti’ (Enema), ‘Nasya’ (Nasal Cleaning) and ‘Raktamokshan’ (The removal of impure blood). The ambience, surroundings of the Patanjali Yogpeeth encourage the patients to remain in tranquility. Today, the Patanjali Yognepeeth is India’s most preferred destination for those who want to be healed by the tradition of Ayurveda.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE OF PANCHKARMA :

2. To prevent diseases by enhancing the immunity.

3. To attain Rasayana & Vajikaran effect.

PANCHKARMA

Poorva Karma (Preparatory Panchakarma Techniques) After doing a detailed examination of the patient through the different diagnostic methods, a physician decides whether patient should undergo a samana (pacifying) therapy or sodhana (purifacatory) therapy. Before starting Panchakarma one has to undergo preparatory treatments called Poorvakarma (preparatory techniques).

a. Snehana (Oleation)

Snehana course is decided based on severity of the condition as well as the nature of the patient. While taking snehana the patient has to follow strict pathya (dietary and activity restrictions), which is also prescribed for every treatment in Panchakarma.

Sneha yogya (suitable for sneha)

Usually oleation is done for people who are to undergo sudation (svedana) and purifi cation (sodhana),those who indulge in alcohol, excessive sexual intercourse, physical strain such as exercise, those who think too much, the aged, children, the emaciated, those who have dryness (rookshata), people with
depleted blood and reproductive tissue, who are su” ering from vata types of disorders, having specific eye diseases (syanda, timira) and those who have dificulty in waking up early.

Sneha Ayogya (unsuitable for sneha)

Oleation should not be done for those who have a weak or strong digestive activity, who are obese,who are suffering from stiffness of thighs, diarrhoea, metabolic dysfunction (ama), diseases of throat, anorexia, increased kapha, thirst, alcoholic intoxication, who had abnormal delivery and who are on nasal medication, enema and purgation.

b. Svedana (sudation)

As mentioned earlier, a er oleation, the waste materials blocked in the body channels become unctuous, and the channels become lubricated. Through svedana these waste materials are brought into the main body channel (mahakoshtha) before it is expelled through the main techniques of Panchakarma.

Yogya (suitable)

Persons having breathing disorders, cough, running nose, hiccup, constipation, hoarseness of voice, diseases of vata, kapha, metabolic dysfunction (ama), stiffness, feeling of heaviness, aches, sprains, catch in different parts of the body, sprains, dysuria, tumours, reproductive conditions etc.

Ayogya (unsuitable)

Persons who are very obese, dry, weak, unconscious, weak due to chest injury, emaciation, who have disease related to excessive alcohol intake, specific eye disorders, specifc skin diseases, consumption, those who have gout, who have undergone purgation, those who are suffering from prolapse or burns

PRADHAN KARM :

Rectum, exhaustion, anger, grief, fear, excess hunger and thirst, jaundice, anaemia, various types of diabetes, and diseases of pitta origin, women who are menstruating or pregnant or delivered recently. In
case of emergency in these conditions, it can be done mildly. Apart from being the preparatory techniques for Panchakarma these two methods (sneha, sveda) are used as part of samana treatment as well. Present day Ayurvedic massages or steam baths without purification techniques can be grouped under this category.

Panchakarma – Pradhana Karma (Main Techniques)

A. Vamana (emesis)

Emesis is usually given for kapha type of disorders. Vamana is good for all kapha disorders. It helps in improving sleep and reducing excessive sleep; it is useful in treating mental disorders, asthma, epilepsy

skin diseases (visarpa, kushtha), anaemic conditions, migraine, poisoning, infertility and minor conditions like pimples etc.

B. Virechana (purgation)

Purgation is mainly done for pitta type of conditions. It also takes care of the kapha, which is located in the place of pitta.

C. Basti (medicated enema)

Medicated enema is highly effective in vata type of disorders. It is also applied in other dosa disorders as well. Basti is considered as half of the treatment in Ayurveda. There are two types of medicated enema. They are done with decoction (kashaya) and unctuous materials (sneha) like oil, ghee etc.

D. Nasya (nasal medication)

Nasya is applied in kapha disorders. This is very e” ective in disorders above shoulders. It is applied in unconsciousness, headache, hemiplegia, other neurological disorders etc.

E. Raktamoksha (blood letting)

Apart from this raktamoksha (blood letting) is also considered as one of the techniques in purification. Blood becomes impure due to activities and food that aggravate pitta and kapha. For removing the impure blood, these techniques are used. There are four different types of methods used – Siravedha (cutting the blood vessel), prachana (pricking), jalouka (application of leech), sringa, alabu, ghatika (application of horn etc.)
Paschatkarma (Post Panchakarma Regimen)

a. Aahaara or Peyadi Krama (dietary prescriptions)

In Panchakarma, peyadikrama has a major role to play. Peyadikrama is a method to increase the strength of the digestive fire by giving lighter diet to start with and gradually bringing the patient to his or her normal diet.

b. Vihaara (life style prescriptions)NIRUHA BASTI

A regulated life style also plays an important role in getting the maximum benefits of Panchakarma. It has to be followed for equal number of days for which Panchakarma was done. For a period of time one has to observe strict regimen (kathina pathya) and later slowly taper into normal lifestyle. Apart from pre, main and post techniques, in the classical texts few other techniques that are subsidiary to Panchakarma are also mentioned. They are dhumapana (medicated smoking), gandusa (holding medicated materials in the mouth), kavala (gargling), pratisarana (applying a coat of the drug paste to mouth), mukhalepa (application on face), murdha taila (applying oil on the head), karna poorana (applying medicine in ears), ascyotana (eye drops), anjana (collyrium), tarpana & putapaka (eye medications)
