The Importance of Panchakarma Treatment in Western Life
Panchakarma is a bio-cleansing regimen /procedure which cleans the body tissues deeply especially from fat-soluble toxins, These therapies help in the elimination of disease-causing factors and maintain the equilibrium of body, mind, and soul.
Panchakarma treatment in Ayurveda refers to five therapeutic measures (procedures) to be undertaken for complete detoxification of the body. The panchakarma includes Ayurvedic therapies such as Vaman (Medicated Emesis), Virechan (Purgation), Nasyam (Nasal Installation), Raktamokhshan (Blood Letting), and Basti (Enema). Panchakarma treatments are mainly indicated for the elimination of toxins from the body.
Why Do You Need to Undergo Panchakarma?
The human body is like a machine. As the machine needs cleaning and lubrication from time to time to improve its efficiency and quality, our body also needs cleansing from time to time. Modern life is full of tensions and turmoil.
Our lifestyle is so fast and hectic, that there is very limited scope for relaxation. Lack of physical activity, consumption of unhealthy foods, too much mental stress, and habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol, extreme climatic variations, are responsible for increasing toxin levels in the body.
The build-up of toxins in the body is a precursor to several chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart diseases, and even cancer. To prevent the risk of these illnesses we need to regularly eliminate toxins from the body. Panchakarma is one of the best natural Ayurvedic therapy for detoxification that expels body toxins through different therapies.
