Purification (treatment) Measures of Panckarma:

By five actions or purification measures, the body is purified of specific vitiated doshas and ama (undigested food products), which form as a result of metabolic processes.

Each process has a specific action to bring about a specific imbalanced dosha in balanced state and thus preventing further disorders.

Panchakarma constitutes the foremost shodhana chikitsa or purification therapy. It reverses the disease mechanisms, which carry toxic waste products from the digestive tract into the tissues of the body.

It is designed to draw ama (undigested food products) out of the dhatus (body tissues), return it to the digestive tract and expel it from the body.
