Understanding Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurveda believes that health is a balanced state of body, mind, and soul. Disease occurs when this balance is disturbed. The core of Ayurvedic treatment lies in restoring this balance through natural methods and understanding the root cause of the illness.
Principles of Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurveda classifies diseases and treatments into two broad types:
- Langhana (Depletive Therapy) – Aims to remove excess and accumulated toxins or materials from the body.
- Brimhana (Repletive Therapy) – Aims to nourish, strengthen, and restore what is depleted in the body.
Langhana Therapy
Langhana is further divided into two methods:
1. Shodhana (Eliminative Therapy)
Involves cleansing the body of toxins
2. Shamana (Corrective Therapy)
Involves balancing the doshas without elimination.
Shodhana Therapy – Five Major Therapies (Panchakarma)
Vamana
Emesis (Induced Vomiting)
Virechana
Purgation
Nasya
Nasal Medication
Basti
Medicated Enemas
Raktamoksha
Bloodletting
Brimhana Therapy
Used mainly for catabolic conditions and degenerative diseases, Brimhana therapy strengthens the body through nourishment.
Panchakarma Treatments
Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s signature detoxification and rejuvenation therapy. It includes five powerful procedures that cleanse the body deeply and bring the doshas into balance.
What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma means Five Actions — five types of detox therapies used to purify the body before or during treatment. These therapies help in removing deep-seated toxins and rejuvenating body functions.
