Your Health and Pancha Karma

Ayurveda offers unique therapeutic measures that heal mild and

chronic diseases. Even diseases that are believed to be incurable
by modern medicine have been healed. Stories abound of people
being carried into Pancha karma centers, and a few weeks later,
walking out on their own two feet, healthy and rejuvenated.
Ayurveda is not based on magic; rather, it is based on
understanding medical principles and the six stages of illness.
The most deeply seated toxins that cause disease are heavy and
sticky, lodging in the deepest tissue layers. Pancha Karm
permanently eliminates these toxins from the body, allowing
healing and restoration of the tissues, channels, digestion, and
mental functions.

Six therapies are divided into two categories:

1) Toning or nourishing (Brimhana or santarpana), and
2) Reducing or detoxifying (langhana or apartarpana)those that cause lightness.
Brimhana tones because it uses therapies that promote earth and water elements, while langhana lightens by using
ether, air, and fire elements to reduce. Illness is relieved as doshas become balanced through these therapies.

The six major therapeutic categories are either toning or reducing in nature.
1. Reducing (langhana or lightening) the body, making it light.
2. Nourishing (Brimhana or expanding) the body by adding corpulence.
3. Drying (Rukshana) or producing roughness in the body.
4. Oleation (snehana) or applying oil to the body creates softness, fluidity, and moistness.
5. Sudation (svedhana) or sweating, removes stiffness, heaviness, and coldness.
The therapeutic measures involved for each category primarily include herbs, foods, internal and external
application of oils; fasting, and exercise.
