Panchakarma ( In Sanskrit "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 :
Panchakarma is the ultimate mind-body healing experience for detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system and restoring balance and well-being. It is one of the most effective healing modality in Ayurvedic System of Medicine. It promotes detoxification and rejuvenation. It is recommended on a seasonal basis, as well as when an individual experience illness and imbalanced dosha in a body. (vata,pitta,kapha)
This is a process used to clean the body of toxic materials left by diseases and poor nutrition and vitiated doshas. Normally the body has the ability to efficiently process and remove these waste materials, including the vitiated doshas. However, due to one’s repeated dietary indiscretions, poor exercise patterns, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition, the digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones and agnis which regulate the body’s internal homeostasis, become disorganized. This can lead to the accumulation and spread of toxins throughout the physiology resulting in disease. This waste matter is called ama in Ayurveda that needs to be completely evacuated from the body for preventive in swasta(healthy person) and curative in atura (patient). Panchakarma will remove the excess doshas and correct imbalances in them as well as eliminate the harmful systems through the body’s own organs and channels of elimination (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach, intestines, etc).
Panchakarma purifies the tissues at a very deep level. Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for maintaining swaasthya (wellness). Panchakarma is a five-fold therapy; it is highly individualized based on the needs of the individual depending on the Ayurvedic constitutional type, doshic imbalances, age, digestive strength, immune status, and many other factors. Depending on each individual’s needs all or only parts of the five therapies are utilized. Specially trained therapists must administer these procedures in a definite sequence for a specified period of time under the guidance of ayurvedic physician.

Blood letting/Rrakta mokshana is extracting a small amount of blood from the vein to relieve the tension created by Pitta induced toxins in the blood. Toxins present in the gastro intestinal tracts are absorbed into the blood and circulated through the body. Blood letting also stimulates the spleen to produce ant itoxic substances and helps to stimulate the immune system.
Basti (Enema) is considered as the mother of all Panchakarma treatments. It cleanses the accumulated toxins from all the 3 doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, through the colon.
