The Panchakarma aspects are:
Prior
to panchakarma, purvakarma is administered. “Snehanam”
and “Swedanam” which are basically the purvakarma or
meaning primary aspect of Panchakarma. Snehanam in either
words meaning “Oleation” and “Swedanam” meaning sweating
and much of this method of Panchakarma Therapy is in
preparing the toxins for elimination, through oil and
sweating therapies. The oil application and sweating
therapy helps in bringing the toxin into the digestive
tract for elimination.
This is then dispelled by vasti (enema) or virechana
(purgative) and vamanam which are the Panchakarma aspects
of the procedure.
To name the various oleation and sweating therapies
are Abhyangam, Pizhichil, Navarakizhi, Dhara and
Elakizhi.
Vamanam (
Emesis
Therapy or vomiting)
When there is congestion
in the lungs causing repeated attacks of bronchitis,
cold and cough. Vamanam is administrated to eliminate the
Kapha causing the excess mucus. All Kapha related diseases
are cured by this therapy. This process requires good
attention and skilled assistance. In chronic skin diseases
like Psoriasis also vamanam is administered.
Virechanam (Purgation)
Pitha

the toxic or waste matters from the intestine by administrating
therapeutic purgation or a therapeutic laxative. In
case of jaundice, piles also virechanam is given.
Aasthaapana
Aasthaapana
or Niruham is enema with quath or Kashaya Vasti is for
combating vata and vata dominant diseases. Vata’s predominant
site is the colon. Vasti involves the introduction of
herbal concoction into the rectum. It relieves constipation,
kidney stones, backaches, sciatica and all types of
joint pains.

or head areas is eliminated by Nasyam. From the shoulders
up the patients body is massaged causing it to perspire.
The medicine in exact dose is measured and poured into
the nostrils, as the patient inhales. During the process,
the area around the nose, neck, shoulders, palms &

such as sinusitis, migraine, chronic cold and chest
congestion. In case of hemiplegia, facial paralysis
