 Why Panchakarma?

The Panchakarma treatment eliminates the internal causes of diseases and releases the burden on your whole being. Large quantities of toxic bi-products are formed in the body as a result of numerous factors, including the body’s continuous metabolic processes, wrong body habits, wrong food habits, incompatible combination of food items, suppression of body urges, emotional imbalances, etc. If the elimination system of your body is functioning well, most of these toxins are eliminated naturally. However, if they are mal-functioning, damaging toxins get deposited in various parts of the body. This toxic load results in the impairment of the Doshas, Dhatus (tissues), etc.. Consequently, normal functioning of the body systems are also impaired and our bodies get impacted by the toxicity and general ill health. If you often feel tired, exhausted, fatigued, stressed or suffer from aches and pains or other chronic ailments and seek a deep level of luxurious pampering, relaxation and revitalization, then Panchakarma is for you! find best Ayurvedic Panchakarma doctor in Delhi today.

Before the actual purgation begins, there is a need to prepare the body with prescribed methods to encourage it to let go off the toxins. Purvakarma comprises two types of preparatory treatments: Snehana (internal and external oleation with natural herbal oils) and Swedana (sudation or steam therapy). During these treatments, the excess doshas are gradually encouraged to move from the limbs to the digestive tract from which they can be eliminated.
