Ayurvedic medicine is one of the oldest healing
systems in the world, originating in the ancient civilizations
of India documented 5000 years ago. Ayurveda in Sanskrit
means "knowledge of life." Panchkarma is based on the central
concept of Ayurveda that disease is caused by the build-up of
toxins which causes an imbalances in three doshas
in the mind - body complex.

- Ayurvedic Complete Detoxification and Cleansing Programme
Panchkarma
is Ayurveda's primary purification and detoxification treatment.
Panchkarma is derived from two words i.e. PANCH meaning five and
KARMA meaning steps ( cleansing procedures). These five procedures
of eliminating toxins from the body are Vamana, Virechana,
Nasya, Basti and Raktamokshana.
This series of five procedure helps remove deep rooted toxins
from the body thereby balancing the doshas (energies that govern
all biological functions).
According
to Ayurvedic medicine, a person's natural state is one of health,
happiness, and inner well-being. This means that the body is free
of toxins; organs function normally; the mind is at peace and
emotions are balanced and positive. Unfortunately, with the pressures
of daily life over time, toxins build up in the body causing both
physical and mental ailments. Panchkarma can reverse these negative
effects and restore a natural state of health and wellness by
cleansing the body of toxins, restoring balance to the system,
and improving bodily function.
