PANCHAKARMA

The Ayurvedic method for cleansing and rejuvenation is known as panchakarma (pancha karma), or five cleansing actions. This program is usually done for a week or two, but can also be done for longer periods depending on the case. The five actions of this method are:


    * Nasya (Nasal application of herbs and herbal oils).


    * Vamana (Therapeutic vomiting).


    * Basti (Enema).


    * Virechana (Purgation).


    * Rakta Moksha (Blood letting).
