Panchakarma the word itself defines Panch-Five + Karma-Action therapy. These are peculiar cleansing and detoxifying therapies effective on Physical, psychological health. According to Ayurveda disturbed equilibrium between Vata, Pitta, Kapha (Body Elements) is the root cause of all the unhealthy conditions. Any external cause can vitiate these dosha's losing their equilibrium. The best faster way to cure the increased toxins in elements are to expel them out through the nearest root thus cleansing the root to heal & rejuvanated for the longevity of life. Panchakarma therapies liquify the toxins from microchannels & expel them out through the nearest possible root.
