Panchkarma Therapy

Panchkarma Therapy @ Kalpavriksh

Ayurveda is an eternal science of healthy living. Literally translated, ‘Ayurveda’ means ‘life science’, or the ‘science of life’. This 5000-year-old natural healing method is now no longer the privilege and blessing of only India, the land of its origin, but has spread far and wide, with its amazing healing abilities being accepted all over the world. Panchkarma is that special branch of Ayurveda which deals in the holistic healing of the body, and is very popular as the quick and powerful healing therapy that effectively utilises body detoxification followed by nourishment as the means to complete well-being.

We are pleased to announce the opening of our Ayurvedic Panchkarma clinic at a new address in your locality. Our well-equipped modern clinic offers all Ayurvedic panchkarma treatments, and has a panel of highly qualified and experienced doctors. The panchkarma treatment is administered under the supervision of Dr Sethu Madhavan  (DAM, AVP, CMO [retd.] Central Govt. Health Scheme, Ex-Deputy Advisor Dept. Of Ayush, Hon. Consultant and Guest Prof. at Bharatiya Vidya Peth) and Dr Preeti Lokhande (BAMS, BA Yogashastra), two stalwarts in Ayurvedic practice with over 50 years’ collective experience. Dr Sethu Madhavan has been engaged in active research on various so-called incurable diseases such as ulcerative colitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes etc.

All treatments at our clinic are done by certified, trained and experienced therapists from Kerala.

All medicines, oils and technical support are from the reputed and trusted Dhanwanthari Vaidyasala from Kerala.

Listed below are a few of the highly effective treatments offered at kalpavriksh:

Vamanam

Vamana is induced therapeutic vomiting. This therapy effectively expels the kapha toxins accumulated in the upper gastro-intestinal tract. Acute and chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, skin diseases, anemia, epilepsy, sinus problems, chronic indigestion, diabetes and many other kapha-related diseases are treated through vamana.

                                                          

                            

Virechanam

Virechana is the controlled administration of purgative substances for the cleansing of pitta toxins from the lower gastro-intestinal tract. Diseases caused by the aggravation of pitta, such as chronic headache, migraine, urinary tract infection, fissures, piles, kidney ailments etc. are treated through virechana.

Vasti

Vasti is the cleansing process in which the medicine is injected through the anus and diseases caused by the aggravation of vata, such as different kinds of arthritis, ulcerative colitis, diarrhoea, menstrual disorders etc., are treated.

Nasyam

“Nasa hi shirso dwaram” – this means that the only way to the brain is through the nose. Nasya is the process of treatment in which the medicine is administered through the nose. All brain-related disorders, such as insomnia, facial palsy, lockjaw, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis etc., as well as mental disorders, are treated through nasya.

                                      

Rakta Mokshanam

Impure and infected blood can give rise to many diseases. Rakta mokshana treats all diseases caused due to infected blood. In this process, the infected blood is sucked out from the veins. Diseases treated with rakta mokshana therapy include snake bite, cancer, an array of skin diseases etc.

Before commencing the panchkarma therapy, we prepare our patient’s body for the same. This is done by making the patient undergo abhyangam (massage) and swedanam (steam). Many other prominent healing processes like shirodara, janubasti, shirobasti etc. are also administered at our clinic. We treat a number of chronic diseases. Also, our special therapy for weight reduction is harmless besides being highly effective.

Panchkarma is a system of body purification that cannot be found in any other medical system:

Abhyangam is the basis of all panchkarma treatment. This process of massage stimulating the marmas, which are connected to all the organs, and the medicinal oils which are absorbed by the body help strength the vital organs, relieve tension and stress, get rid of all aches and stiffness, and flush out toxins. This scientific system of massage helps in curing ailments like arthritis, gout, sciatica, Parkinson’s disease, sinusitis, migraine, back pain and psychosomatic diseases. A correctly done abhyanga balances all irregularities and increases the ojas of mind and body.

Swedanam (fomentation) is the most potent of all the methods as it can melt toxins accumulated in the bodily channels (shrotas) and expel them through the skin. Appropriate herbs are made to boil in water and the steam is used to perform swedana therapy. Swedana follows abhyanga and complements it.

                                      

Shirodara @ kalpavriksh is a mind and body healing therapy. A range of miraculous healing takes place when this precision technique of therapy is performed. The rhythmic trickling of medicated oils/milk/buttermilk on the forehead where the third eye (crown chakra) is situated improves one’s perception and cognitive abilities. It reduces stress and is very soothing to the face and forehead. It regulates blood pressure and can release trapped energies throughout the body. Shirodhara can stimulate hair growth, help in certain cases of obesity which require restraint, and help treat insomnia and schizophrenia. Shirodara can improve the supply of oxygen and other vital nutrients to the brain.

                                      

Shirobasti involves the use of herbal pastes and oils on the head to treat heart diseases, chest pain, diseases of the head including tumour, loss of sensation of the skin, dryness of nasal passage, mouth and throat, migraine, anorexia, jaundice and many more conditions. In addition, it relieves mental stress.

                                      

Janubasti/Katibasti involves hot medicated oil used in problem-specific areas such as rheumatoid arthritis-affected knees, frozen shoulder, back pain etc.

                                      

In a nutshell, Ayurveda is the science of daily living in harmony with the laws of nature. This ancient wisdom of health and healing has the objective to maintain the health of the healthy and to heal the unhealthy using a combination of time-tested, proven herbal preparations with cleansing and rejuvenating properties, the right food choices and panchkarma. Thus prevention and healing are done in an entirely natural manner with no side effects but a multitude of complete holistic benefits.
