Any vitiation of the Doshas will affect the digestive fire (Agni) and produce toxins or Ama in the body. Ama is also produced when there is poor digestion, improper food combinations, and choices, pollution, poor drinking water, pesticides in food, emotional and physical stress, or trauma. As the toxins get accumulated in the body, they spread and eventually deposit themselves into the deeper tissues, organs, or channels that createdisease. In Ayurveda, the detoxificationof the body refers to the elimination of the toxins or ama in the body. This is the first step of healing which recognizes the rejuvenation and balances thebody. Personalization, detoxification, andrejuvenation: In panchakarma, Panch means “five” and karma means “action” which consists offive therapeutic actions or therapies that safely and effectively removes the Ama (toxins) from different areas of the body without damaging or weakening the bodysystems. These therapies work naturally and effectively on the body and remove the toxins from various areas of the body without causing any side-effects. The main aim of panchakarma is not only to remove the physical toxins but also restores the mind and bodysystem. Panchakarmais a unique treatment that meets each individual’s needs according to their body’s constitution and Doshic imbalances. Before doing the Panchakarma, a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner must assess one’s imbalances and determine the individual’s constitution and current state of Doshas, as well as which tissues, channels, and organs are involved in the imbalance and need to be addressed. These therapies are performed by a Panchakarma technician that includes customized herbs and oils to loosen Ama (toxins) from the deep tissues to remove through the body’s natural channels ofelimination.

3. Before doing the panchakarma, the preliminary therapies are done ie., Snehana and swedana. The main five procedures that are included in panchakarmaare: Vaman Virechana Basti Nasya Raktmokshan Preliminary therapies are done to loosen and move toxins from thebody: Purvakarma therapies are done to prepare the body by eliminating out the stored Ama (toxins) from the tissues. Snehana (oleation) is the first step which is done in Purvakarma and this consists of saturating the body with herbal or medicated oils. It can also be done by internal oleation through ingesting ghee or medicated oil. In external oleation, Abhyanga (or Bahya Snehana) is done which consists of vigorous massage over the whole body with herbalized oils. The choice of oils mainly depends upon the particular needs and according to the dosha imbalance of the individual. It helps to loosen Ama and move it from the deeper tissues into the GI tract, where Panchakarma’s therapies eliminate it out from the body. Once the massage is done then Swedana (sweat) is performed. Its main function is to dilate the channels so that the removal of Ama can be more easilyachieved. In the main Panchakarma procedures, the elimination of toxins is with the help of main Panchakarma therapies which include Vamana, Nasya, Virechan, Raktamokshana, and Basti. Each of these therapies promotes the removal of Ama throughout the normal channels either moving it upward, downward, or through the periphery (skin). It is done by assessing the imbalance of doshas and deciding which therapies should be emphasized, which tissues and organs are involved and where Ama has lodged in the body. Vamana andNasya: Vamana (therapeutic emesis) and Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oils and herbal preparations) usually relate to Kapha Dosha; Virechan (therapeutic purgation) relates to Pitta Dosha, and Basti (therapeutic herbal enema) relates to Vata Dosha. So, for example, in the case of a person with a Kapha imbalance, or excess Ama in a Kapha site, Vamana and Nasya will be emphasized to remove excessKapha. Vamana is not associated with nausea and sickness. It is done with the use of natural ingredients and herbs that make it a smooth and painless process. It restores the balance and cures various serious Kapha conditions, such as lung problems and metabolicimbalances.
