Revision as of 05:42, 30 April 2017
Panchakarma ("Pancha" means five and "karma" means treatment) is done to detoxify the body according to Ayurveda. The five procedures are claimed to eliminate the vitiated Doshas from the body. They are Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Niroohavasti (Decoction enema), Nasya (Instillation of medicine through nostrils), and Anuvasanavasti (Oil enema). Nirooha, Anuvasana and Uttaravasthi form the basic types of Vasti. The term Panchasodhana includes Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Nirooha, and Rakthamoksha (Blood letting).
Panchakarma is a specialized job to be executed under the supervision of an Ayurvedic expert. It implies some restriction to be observed by the patient and also some free time to be dedicated exclusively. For this purpose one should follow the procedure whole-heartedly fully honoring it. Each procedure is divided into three parts
Pre procedure (Purva Karma) Pre operative. Main procedure (Pradhana Karma) operative. Post procedure (Paschat Karma) post operative.
Pre Panchakarma procedures
Pre operative – this procedure aims at separating the doshas and the other body elements and also to bring back the doshas to these original site in the alimentary canal; so that they can be expelled out easily from the body. There are two procedures required to be performed as pre-operatives, viz. Snehana and Svedana.
Snehana: Snehana means Oleation or to make smooth. (मार्दव) It is a lubrication of the body mainly with the use of oil or ghee ( clarified butter ) . The person is asked to take medicated oil or ghee in increasing quantity till some particular signs and symptoms occur and that much quantity is consumed which takes nearly 12 hours to digest. The person has to be observe some restriction such as drinking only hot water through out the day, no sleep during day time, eating food only when hungry, etc.
Swedana: This procedure is very important to liquefy the vitiated Doshas inside the body (which are already made soft by oleation / स्नेहन procedure), later to be brought to Koshtha (कोष्ठ), which will be eliminated by inducing either Vamana / Virechana. Fomentation especially in the form of a steam bath to produce sweating is ‘Svedana’. This helps liquification of doshas so that they can easily tickle down to alimentary canal. Generally this is performed with external snehana.
P.S. – Snehana and svedana can also be used independently as a treatment for vata disorders like arthritis, backache, lumbago etc.
