Panchakarma in Ayurveda literally means five actions

Panchakarma in Ayurveda literally means five actions. The term purging is also often used to describe it. This series of procedures was first described in the ancient records of Ayurveda, almost 5000 years ago. The benefits of Panchakarma which is an ancient and entirely natural detox method are still being reaped today.

Panchakarma therapy is used to prevent the accumulation of various concerns or for seasonal health maintenance and also as a longevity/rejuvenation therapy. What is unique about this Áyurvedic approach is that it is used not only for healing but also for prevention and rejuvenation (longevity). It is said that by undergoing Samshodhana treatments, diseases will not recur.
