Nowadays you can see many advertisements regarding ayurvedic detoxification, which shows you someone taking massage with oils and powders or any other elements, Taking a bath in the bathtub with some leaves and water, taking steam. Some advertisements show you oil is pouring on the forehead. But all these things are not ayurvedic detoxification.
Ayurvedic detoxification is very vast and different than these advertisements. I will try to clear views regarding ayurvedic panchakarma or ayurvedic detoxification in my article.
Panchkarma ( panch –five, karma- procedure) means five procedure. They are…
- Vaman( emesis therapy ),
- Virechan ( purgation therapy),
- Basti (medicinal enema therapy),
- Raktamokshan( blood letting) ,
- Nasyam ( nasal drops).
These all panchakarma has three steps
1. Poorva karma ( pre-procedure)
2. Pradhan Karma( main procedure)
3. Paschat karma( post panchakarma procedure)
