Panchakarma: Ayurveda Ayurvedic Dictionary on Panchakarma Enema Therapy

Panchkarma: Enema Therapy

Considered the best treatment for a deranged vata, it purifies and rejuvenates the colon that then nourishes the entire body and helps to gain control of the disease process before it goes into a migratory phase. Classified into Oily Enema, Decoction Enema, and Enema therapies, it is administered through the anal passage or vagina.

Because vata is the force behind retention or elimination of all items, its imbalance is the root cause of diseases related to tissues and organs of the body. This therapy thus proves effective for nearly all types of ailments discussed in Ayurveda. Helping rejuvenate the body and providing strength and long life.

Vasti is essentially of two types: Nirooha that cleanses toxins from the dhatus and removes naturally accumulated malas (body waste) from the colon, and Anuwasana that which is meant to be retained in the body for a longer period of time in order to have its intended effect.

But it cannot be applied in case of particular skin diseases, obese patients, problems of the gastro-intestinal tracts, loss of appetite, enlargement of liver & spleen, thirst, dyspnea, edema and in states of grief and shock.

The definition and meaning of Panchakarma is extracted from the home page of All Ayurveda - Worlds first portal on Ayurveda

"Life seems  to have come a full circle in case of certain aspects of  medicinal science. The focus today having shifted back from  an all-dominating Allopathy to the traditional, natural  systems of health that had served humankind well prior to  its advent. Quite understandably, Ayurveda, with nearly 500  million adherents and as part of a projected $62 billion  industry worldwide, has been staging a strong comeback.

An ancient  holistic system of medicine, it uses a vast range of natural herbs and minerals to tackle ailments - herbs that assure  relief or progress without any side effects. Intensive  laboratory and clinical research has helped in further  improvement. Playing a stellar role in that has been an organisation that is better known by its brand name Baidyanath.

With a  basket of over 700 ayurvedic and herbal products produced in  10 hi-tech manufacturing units with state-of-the-art  research facilities all over India, Baidyanath's more than  eight decades of experience puts it in an unequalled  position of leadership in this field. The vast treasure of knowledge shared with rest of the world through nearly fifty  books."
