Treatment Details & Guidelines
While taking Ayurvedic medicines, your doctor may advise you to make certain dietary changes. You may be advised to refrain from certain foods and include some others in your diet in accordance with your disease and body constitution (Prakriti).
Panchakarma is a comprehensive cleansing process that removes toxic materials left by disease and poor nutrition. It eliminates harmful ama through the body's natural elimination channels (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach, intestines). The therapy involves daily massages, oil baths, herbal enemas, and nasal administrations. For optimal health maintenance, Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for maintaining mental and physical hygiene and balance.
