Posted by wildwoods on March 4th, 2015

Ayurvedic treatments are thought to improve both physical and mental health, and overall quality of life. The Ayurvedic approach to an illness is holistic and therefore after an Ayurvedic treatment a person will find overall improvement in his health. Ayurveda has many wonderful methods of treating various illnesses; one such method of holistic healing is-Panchakarma Therapy. Here are some of the top benefits you receive by Panchakarma Therapy, brought to you by Wild Woods Spa and Resort-one of the best luxury resorts in South India.

What is Panchakarma?

Panchakarma is a series of individualized therapeutic treatments that clear ama (toxins) and excess doshas (subtle energies) from the deep tissues of the body. According to ayurveda’s ancient texts, Panchakarma can both prevent and cure disease, and it is particularly successful with chronic illnesses that allopathy hasn’t conquered, such as allergies, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and migraines.

What are the benefits of Panchakarma?

The therapy is composed of 5 types of advanced treatment for the evacuation of the vitiated ‘dosha’ from the body. There are many sub-types of this therapy as well. These treatments are extremely helpful for people who come to Wild Woods Ayurvedic Spa for Ayurvedic treatment in Karnataka. This works by alleviating deep rooted diseases and for improving physical and mental health. Here are the benefits of each step:

Snehana: Here oil is massaged to the whole body to move the toxins to the gastro-intestinal tract. The oil massage also makes the superficial and deep tissues soft and supple while removing stress and nourishing the nervous system.

Swedana: Swedana is a steam treatment explained in Ayurvedic medical science. The word Sweda is derived from Sanskrit word- swid, meaning ‘to sweat or to perspire’. Swedana is the process of inducing sweat with the help of steam, generated from medicated herbal decoctions. With Swedana, the toxins are liquefied, an act that facilitates their movement to the gastro-intestinal tract.

Pradhankarma

Pradhankarma involves vamana, which is emesis therapy where congestion in the lungs due to asthma, colds, bronchitis or coughs is eliminated through therapeutic vomiting. Vamana helps eliminate kapha that causes excess mucus in the body. Virechana is a purgation therapy that is applied in cases of excess bile. With the right administration of this therapeutic purgation or therapeutic laxative, bile is eliminated from the body.

Basti: Basti involves introduction of liquefied substances like medicated oils and herbal potions through the anus, urinary passage or vaginal orifice (in women) in order to cleanse the lower part of the body (below umbilical part). This treatment is great for vata disorders and helps relieve constipation, sexual disorders, cold, kidney stones heart pain and other pains of the joints.

Nasya: Nasya is an important step of pradhan karma which refers to the introduction of drugs through the nose which is believed to be a direct passage to the brain and hence the mind. Nasya yields good results in various health problems like different types of headaches, convulsions, sinus congestion and some ailments of the eyes and the ears. It frees the mind from tensions and turmoil.
