Rasayana Chikitsa, also known as Rejuvenation Therapy, is a holistic Ayurvedic treatment that revitalizes the body. It helps individuals regain and maintain overall health and well-being. One of the most well-known forms of rejuvenation is Panchakarma. It includes a set of specialized therapeutic procedures designed to cleanse and heal the body physically, mentally, and spiritually. These treatments are intensive and customized for each person. What is Panchakarma?Panchakarma means “five cleansing techniques.” These are powerful Ayurvedic therapies that follow a systematic process—starting from preparation to treatment and recovery. Because they are intensive, Panchakarma requires expert medical supervision and is usually done in a hospital setting. At Kalarickal Ayurveda Hospital, each Panchakarma plan is tailored to the individual’s constitution and health needs. This personalized approach ensures the best results. Why is Panchakarma Important?Ayurveda teaches that every human being is made up of five elements—Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. These elements form three vital energies called doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When the balance between these doshas is disturbed, it leads to disease. Customized Healing ApproachOur Panchakarma process begins with pre-purification steps like Snehan (oil massage) and Svedana (herbal steam therapy). These prepare the body for deep cleansing. After that, the actual detox treatments, known as Shodana, are carried out under close observation. As a result, the body becomes lighter, more energetic, and balanced. Mental clarity improves, and the immune system gets stronger. Panchakarma helps prevent diseases and improves overall wellness.
