PANCHKARMA PROCEDURE
The whole procedure of Panchkarma is divided into 3 steps :
Purva Karma, Pradhan Karma and Paschat Karma


PURVA KARMA

The set of procedures which Ayurveda prescribes to facilitate the removal of toxins from the tissues is collectively called Purvakarma. There are Two Purvakarmas :
Snehana and Swedana

SNEHANA (Therapeutic Oleation)

SVEDANA (Therapeutic Heat)

PRADHAN KARMA

According to the Charak Samhita, the body normally uses three routes to eliminate waste products and toxins: the mouth, anus, and pores of the skin. The three doshas act as the vehicle which carries toxins either upward, downward, or out through the periphery.doshasmove these impurities from the deep structures to the G-I tract and from the G-I tract to the body's three main outlets. There are five PradhanKarmas : Vamana, Virechana, Basti,RaktaMokshan and Nasy

VAMANA (Therapeutic Emesis)
The emesis procedure used in vamana is quite smooth and painless, with little or no nausea or discomfort. This procedure for discharging excess kapha was designed to be accomplished with great ease.

The herbs used to produce the emetic effect provide the main keys to successful vamana. These herbs are yashti madhu (Licorice) and madan phal (Randia Dymotorum).


VIRECHANA (Therapeutic Purgation)
Virechana works in a downward direction to eliminate pitta related toxinsand excess pitta in the form of acidic secretions. Since pitta has a close connection with the blood, it also helps remove waste matter and toxicity from the blood.
BASTI (Therapeutic Enema)

Basti is the introduction of medicated liquids into the colon through the rectum. While it directly effects the colon, its is not a localized or symptomatic treatment. Basti treatments balance and nurture vata dosha. When vata functions normally, it helps bring toxins and waste matter out of the dhatus and eliminates them.

Basti therapy is the most effective treatment for chronic constipation, low back pain, sciatica, rheumatism, gout, arthritis, hemiplegia, poliomyelitis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis and dystrophy and atrophy of nerves and muscles. It benefits epilepsy, mental retardation, and sensory dysfunction.

RAKTAMOKSHAN (Therapeutic withdrawal of Blood)
Rakta Mokshan is a purification treatment to be used when excess toxins are being carried in the blood to the periphery of the body. Rakta Dhatu and Pitta Dosha are closely associated and their functions are interrelated. The blood, which represents rakta dhatu, is formed and regulated by the liver, spleen and bone marrow, which perform pitta related work. For this reason, when toxins appear due to excess pitta, they concentrate in the blood.

When excessive pitta related ama exists in the blood, it gets transported to the body's periphery, where it often produces characteristic symptoms like skin inflammation , Acute symptoms can usually be relieved within a few hours by simply removing a small amount of toxic blood from the affected area by use of leach.
Raktamokshana treats blood-related diseases, skin disorders: chronic itching, eczema, urticaria, rashes and leukoderma. It is also indicated for enlarged liver or spleen, gout and some types of headaches and hypertension. Its mostly prescribed during the end of summer and during autumn.

NASYA (Therapeutic cleansing of Sinuses)

Nasya is indicated in diseases of the head and neck. It is used for dry nasal passages, as well as sinus congestion, common cold, chronic sinusitis, allergies and allergic rhinitis. It relieves chronic vascular headaches, migraine, epilepsy, and has a positive effect on degenrative diseases of the brain and mental retardation.

PASCHAT KARMA

The set of procedures that follow the main eliminative treatments of Panchkarma are called,PaschatKarma. They assure the re-establishment of healthy metabolic function and immunity. If these post-procedures are neglected, digestion will become poor and again toxins will regenerate in body and can produce illness so paschatkarma should be done properly.
There are two procedures of Paschat Karma : Samsarjana Karma and Rasayan Chikitsa

SAMSARJANA KARMA (Graduated Diet) Proper and healthy diet should be taken.

RASAYANA CHIKITSA (Rejuvenation Therapy) After panchkarma rejuvenation therapy shold be given for good health.
