What is Panchakarma ?

In Ayurveda philosophy they have identified five paths in human body, which effects the wellbeing of the body. Those are

1.Respiratory passage
2.Food passage
3.Blood circulation passage
4.Excreta Passage Oral (stomach)
5.Excreta passage Anus ( bowels)

Also they have introduced five treatments to clean these passages. This cleaning is known as Panchakarma. Mostly two treatments are done out of these five because others are not very necessary for a normal person unless there are visible disorders in the body.

Why it is necessary to do panchakarma treatments for a normal person ?

Panchakarma is an internal cleaning process to the body.

This can be explained easily with an example about a car. If anyone own a car, every 25000 K.M of running milage the car has to be serviced or else it will show symptoms of malfunction. This service has to be done even if the car is resting in the garage after use. But the human body has no rest, even the person goes to bed. It is continuously working. When it works continuously for about more than 40 years without any service it will naturally show, symptoms of malfunction, like the car. For example if anyone doesn’t do stomach cleaning for life time, sometimes at the later stages the small holes in the stomach to release enzymes get blocked. Many people complain, that during their later ages they don’t have energy, even they eat well. This is because the food is not digested well, and doesn’t absorb to the body properly. So by stomach cleaning, we clear the enzyme pores to send enzymes well, to the stomach, to digest the food. Other four paths are also the same. Ayurveda explains that if any person can get their body serviced by Panchakarma atleast once a year, the body will regenerate and life is extended with less health problems.

What is the connection of panchakarma with massages ?Is massaging very necessary ?

Yes ! massaging is done from head to toe in a sequence, while pressing the vital hormonal ,and blood circulation and nerve points. This will stimulate the hormonal secretions which is vital to the body, the nervous system which is very important, and also he blood and hormonal circulation..Due to the heat generated by friction power, the body sweats, and with the sweat, all harmful micro organisms, which are in the blood stream, will come out of the body. Immediately after the massage,the doctors will advice the person, to have a herbal bath with natural herbal disinfectants, to wash away the harmful micro organisms. This process has to be done, minimum seven days, so that the person will self understand, there is lot of energy generated in the body. All these has to be done by experienced people to get the correct results.
