What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is a Ayurvedic detoxification modality and rejuvenation therapy that aims to detoxify the body of the toxins or ama and further help to restore balance between the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The term “Panchakarma” means “five actions” or “five treatments”, referring to five primary procedures used in the therapy.
The five main procedures of Panchakarma are:
1) Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): It is also called as induced vomiting and proves beneficial in eliminating excessive kapha. Kapha dosha is a major causative factor behind lymphoma.
2) Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): It is also designated as induced purgation and proves beneficial in eliminating impure pitta dosha.
3) Basti (Medicated Enema): Herbal decoctions or oils administered through the rectum to balance and purify vata dosha. Vata dosha helps lymphoma cells to proliferate.
4) Nasya (Nasal Administration): Herbal oils or powders is administered through nose and prove beneficial in upper respiratory tract ailments.
5) Raktamokshana (Bloodletting): It involves letting out or removing small amount of blood through leech, venipuncture, and or minor incisions. This proves beneficial in reducing pain and resolving inflammatory conditions.
