Kopie (2) van Panchakarma

 

The concept of Ayurveda Panchakarma

The name Panchakarma comes from two Sanskrit words: Panch, meaning “Five,” and Karma means “Action.” The name incorporates the core of the treatment: the five actions or procedures which ayurveda uses to purify the body of everything foreign to it. Each procedure addresses a specific doshic imbalance and the ama which forms as a result.

Ayurveda uses two main modalities in the treatment of disease, each with its own distinct purpose: Shaman and Shodhan. Each form of disease management has its own appropriateness depending on the patient, the time and the nature and stage of the illness.

Shaman therapy is used to palliate or manage the symptoms of disease, whereas Shodhan therapy is used to eliminate the cause of disease. In Shodhan, literally meaning “to go away”, the body is rid of ama and mala and restores balance to the Doshas. It pulls the weeds out by the roots. It is considered superior to Shaman because it not only removes the symptoms of disease but also eliminates their cause.
