Panchakarma Detoxification in Rishikesh

Panchakarma procedures are meant for purification of the body which are helpful for management of certain chronic and lifestyle disorders and they are an important and integral constituent of Ayurveda line of treatment. At Braham Yoga Rishikesh we offer high level of Panchakarma treatments.


What is Panchakarma

To maintain health and alleviate diseases, ayurved advocates “Panchakarma”- a powerful purification process- to eliminate mental, physical and emotional toxins. Panchakarma literally means “pancha” meaning five and “karma” meaning actions or therapies. It is a five-fold purification therapy aimed at correcting the imbalance of bodily humors viz. vata, pitta and kapha in order to maintain their inherent equilibrium. This therapy is widely used to cure neurological ailments like paralysis, arthritis, rheumatic pain, skin problems, mental disorders, etc. It is also used for rejuvenation. These five therapies are vaman (therapeutic emesis), virechan (therapeutic purgation), basti (therapeutic enema), nasya (therapeutic evacuation of vitiated dosha from head) and rakta mokshana (therapeutic blood cleansing). These main therapies are preceded by some pre-treatments like snehana or abhyanga (oleation, herbal oil massage) and swedana (herbal steam bath).

Various Panchakarma Procedures:

ABHYANGA / SNEHANA

Abhyanga is a whole body massage with specific herbal oils. Abhyanga has much deeper and far-reaching effects than an ordinary massage. Abhyanga achieves deepest healing effects by naturally harmonizing Body-Mind & Spirit. This massage is usually followed by a medicated steam bath (swedan). It is one of the most rejuvenating treatments of ayurveda. Abhyang increases tissue strength, improves blood circulation, rejuvenates the whole body, removes the cellulite, beautifies the skin, delays aging, induces sound sleep, promotes vitality, pacifies vata imbalance, reduces stress and removes toxins.

SWEDANA

It is a process to induce sweating by using steam of special herbs specific to the dosha and ailments of a person. This herbal steam bath opens the pores and flushes and cleanses the system through the skin. Abhyang reduces pain in the body, eliminates toxins, promotes lightness, reduces stiffness and beautifies the skin.

VAMANA (THERAPEUTIC VOMITING)

Vamana, is a therapeutic emesis therapy, which cleanses toxins related with kapha dasha. Pre-treatment such as intake of medicated ghee, abhyanga (oil massage) and swedana (medicated steam bath) are administered prior to inducing vamana, to loosen and remove the toxins from the body. This treatment is very effective in bronchial asthma, chronic allergies, hay fever, psoriasis, nasal congestion, obesity, edema, chronic indigestion, skin disorders, vitiligo, psychological disorders, hyperacidity, etc.

BASTI (MEDICATED ENEMA)

Considered as the mother of all treatments, it cleanses the accumulated body toxins and waste related to all the three doaha namely vata, pitta and kapha, especially that related with vata dosha. Basti is also highly beneficial as a rejuvenating treatment especially in convalescent periods. In this procedure medicated oil or ghee and herbal decoction is administered as an enema.
