Ayurveda Panchakarma & Lifestyle Disorders!

The accumulation of waste products in the body occurs due to poor lifestyle choices leading to medical disorders. These waste materials are collectively called Ama, which is a foul-smelling viscous liquid. The presence of excessive Ama in the body can cause manifold difficulties. The aim of Ayurveda Panchakarma treatment is to remove this Ama and revive the body.

The five elements, according to Ayurvedic Shastra, that make up our body are air, water, fire, earth and space. Imbalances of these elements predispose us to various disorders. These imbalances are divided into 3 doshas, namely excess of Pitta, Vata and Kapha. A therapist takes a dosha quiz and figures out which of the five elements is in excess before starting treatment.

According to Ayurveda, lifestyle or genetic disorders can lead to the accumulation of toxic elements in the body. The body can also suffer from imbalances owing to disease. This treatment restores the balance and removes the surplus toxic from the body using relaxation therapy.

A practitioner will try to understand the constitution of the person first and based on the abnormalities the patient claims to observe, the therapist would determine the type of treatment he/she requires. It is a holistic approach because it not only treats the physiological disorder, but it also resuscitates the mind and the soul.
