Panchakarma Treatment
'Panchakarma', as the name
indicates is a method of treatment, which includes five (Paanch) basic
procedures (Karma) and it is absolutely a Customised Process @ Arogyam. Our
Doctors after detailed diagnosis determines the kind of procedure and the
types of medicines to be used. It is not necessary that a patient should
undergo all the five procedures of treatment used in Panchakarma, it would
differ from individual's requirements. These ayurveda panchakarma treatment and ayurveda panchakarma therapy help cleanse the systems to maintain perfect health. The inconsistency developed and lodged
in Dhatus (tissue spaces) due to the vitiation of doshas (humours) gets
eliminated by the panchakarma therapy.

Certain
steps are followed before doing Panchakarma called "poorvakarmas"
or pre treatment or elimination therapy. This treatment prepares the body
for the total elimination of toxic deposit. The two steps in pre-treatment
are: Snehana (oleation) and Swedhana (sweating/sudation).Snehana (oleation Therapy)
Snehana or oleation therapy
literally means love or tenderness. The fatty substances used in this
therapy are for producing lubrication the internal as
well
as external organs. This procedure involves the application of medicated oil
on the skin. he medicated oil used @ Arogyam is Santulan Abhyanga Oil which
is a special oil processed with a range of herbs having the property to
balance the "vaata dosha" in ones body.
Benefits:
The main purpose of massaging the body with oil is for detaching toxins from the deeper tissues and for their subsequent movement back to their origins in the gastro intestinal tract where they are removed through the main purification procedure. This therapy induces restfulness, strength, invigoration and cognition.

Swedana
(Foementation / Sudation / Sweating)Swedan or Sweat therapy simply
means the use of a heat and humidity to cause the body to perspire freely.
It is highly recommended after Oleation or a Marma massage as well as after
a few selected therapies as advised by the doctor time to time.
Benefits:
It helps to eliminate toxins from the body trough sweat.
At Arogyam we use a steam cabinet, which permits your head to remain outside and cool while your body absorbs the heat. The fatty tissues get mobilized after swedana. As with all the Panchakarma treatments, the method used for sweat therapy varies depending on your body type. Vata types tend to be dry, so we do a shorter session. Pittas tend to be fiery hot already, so we do the sweat at a lower temperature. Kaphas with their liquid nature can withstand the highest temperatures and longest sessions.
After treatment, a cooling down period permits the gradual return of the body to normal temperature. This is followed by a shower to remove the excreted toxins

In this process excited and
vitiated humors are removed from the upper part of the body by way of
vomiting. Vomiting is induced with herbal emetic substances for the purpose
of eliminating vitiated Kapha and Pitta. Vamana is effective in the
treatment of disorders like asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, indigestion,
epilepsy, excessive salivation and diseases in fatty tissue and muscular
tissue like haemorrhoids, tumors of fat and muscle.
Methodology: After completing the preliminary procedures of oleation and fomentation patient should take rest. Adequate rest and sleep should be encouraged in the evening prior to the purification procedure and should be given food preparations which include sesame or other oils that aggravate kapha. The patient thus prepared is asked to drink four to eight cups of warm milk, sugar cane juice, licorice tea, or buttermilk within 15 to 30 minutes. The quantity should be given till the patient's stomach is completely full. The patient is then given a proper dose of appropriate emetic herbs or drugs.

Virechana is the cleansing of
the pitta and the purification of the blood toxins. Generally, it is
administered three days after the Vamana treatment but this may vary. If
Vamana therapy is not needed, Virechana can be administered directly after
purvakarma. Virechana cleanses the sweat glands, small intestine, colon,
kidneys, stomach, liver and spleen. It is also called AntarSnehan (i.e
Internal Oleation). It means the oral administration of medicated ghee. The
three main ways ghee is used are- for palliation (a medium dose before meals
when the patient hungry); for tonification (energy day with dietic substance
in low dose); and for; purification (before panchakarma procedure ghee is
given in large doses for a period of three to seven days. Stool, tongue and
time of hunger should be noted everyday to check whether the optimum
oleation has developed or not.
The different types of ghee used are cow's ghee, Pancha Tikta Ghrita (medicated with five bitter herbs), Dadimadi Ghrita (pomegranate extract ghee) etc
Benefits :
These medicated ghees have a property to accumulate the toxins (i.e aam) from all over the body and then excrete it at the end of the treatment with the support of a special purgative medicine. When taking these laxatives, it is important to adhere to restricted diet. Virechana is used for treatment of skin diseases, chronic fever, piles, abdominal tumors, worms, gout, jaundice, gastrointestinal problems, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

In this purification process
we use medicated oils and decoctions that are introduced into the large
intestine through the rectum with the help of an enema pot or a bag
specially designed for this purpose. The word "Basti" means the
urinary bladder. Medicated enema is universally regarded as the most
important procedure in Panchakarma therapy since it removes the excess Vata
dosha (humor) from the entire body and it is also known as "Ardhachikitsa"
meaning 50% treatment of an ailment can be done with this therapy prcoess.
Medicated enema is mainly of two types :
Medicated enema is mainly of two types :
Niruha Basti
Also called decoction or
cleansing enema Niruha is given usually for purification. In decoction enema
salt, honey, oil, paste and decoctions of herbs are used. The herbal
ingredient in the decoction varies according to the ailments and these
medicines get assimilated by the blood capillaries on the outer wall of
large intestine. According to the medicines used, these bastis are named
differently like Tiktakshir, Vaitaran, Lekhan etc.
Anuvasana or Sneha Basti
This contains only medicated
oil 'Anuvasana' means that which remains inside the body for a long time
without causing harm. Anuvasana is used for tonification and for reducing
Vata. In each disease the ingredients will be different when the patients
are treated. The selection, combination, consistency differ, according to
the condition and which help enable specific effect of disease. Method of
administration.
The physician examines the patient properly and understands the state of aggravated dosha, agni (digestive fire), age, strength, and season and then decides what herbs one must select for the procedure. Before basti oil is applied to the abdomen region and back and then fomentation is given. The patient is then asked to lie down with the head low and in the left lateral position. He is asked to extend his left leg, with the right leg taken near the abdomen by folding it. Then a small amount of oil is applied to the rectum as well as to the nozzle of the basti application. . After this the nozzle is inserted slowly into the rectum and the applicator balloon is squeezed. We have the facility of attached toilets to these therapy rooms which may be used by the patient as & when required by the patient.

Nasya or Nasal Therapy is
instillation of herbal medicine through nose. Initially a gentle massage is
given to all the veins of the sinuses as well as the veins connecting the
nasal track with ears, eyes and the brain. Different herbs or medicates oils
or ghee is introduced into each nostril, one at a time, in certain
quantities. You then inhale forcefully through the nostrils to atomize the
mixture and distribute it throughout the sinuses. Our olfactory nerve
endings in the nasal cavity are exposed. They terminate in the limbic area
of the brain which is associated with our emotions. Thus we can bring
balance to our emotions and subsequently to our physiology by using nasya
techniques.
