Holistic healing begins at Shashvat Ayurveda—the top Panchkarma Centre in Chandigarh
What is Panchakarma Therapy?
Panchakarma helps to cleanse the body as to strengthen immunity, rebalance, and heal, becoming the therapy of self-realization. The primary alternative therapeutic practice in Ayurvedic science and medicine, Panchakarma helps the human body get purified, healed, and rejuvenated.
Panakarma or Panchakarma is a term from the Sanskrit language meaning “five actions” or “five treatments. This process removes the buildup of toxins that may be in the body due to illness, poor diet and unhealthy lifestyles, thereby building up the body’s immunity to diseases. These toxins are expelled naturally by the human body but modern living hinders this resulting in theses imbalances and diseases.
A buildup of toxins from poor diet, inactivity, habits, and genetics disrupts digestive enzymes, metabolic co-factors, hormones, and Agni, affecting the body’s balance. In this way, toxic products are formed, in Ayurveda, this is called Ama. Ama refers to a dangerous, glutinous substance that always needs to be cleared for true wellness to be achieved.
Panchakarma facilitates the removal of excess doshas, balancing of the dosha levels and removal of toxic Ama through the movement of toxins into the large intestine or urinary bladder, through sweat or urine, through lungs or through stomach and small intestine. It gives the tissues deep regeneration, which in a word is wonderful.
Our Panchakarma treatments at the Chandigarh Centre are specific and address ones Prakruti, current dosha balance, age, digestion and immunity status. As earlier mentioned, any or some of the five therapies are administered in a particular order and for the appropriate amount of time depending on the needs of the target client.
The general practitioner should not prescribe Panchakarma without a consultation with a qualified Ayurveda Physician/ Vaidya. Mere mortals like us can only suggest what kind of constitutional type you might be suffering from, never mind the therapies you should undergo. The Panchkarma treatments include the daily therapies, oil bath, herbed enema and the nasalizations. According to Shashvat Ayurveda, Panchakarma is useful to achieve mental stability, spiritual well being & physical well being

Three Stages of Panchakarma Treatment
The whole procedure is divided into 3 stages. It is important to follow all three stages of Panchakarma to achieve proper results.
- Purva karma (Pre-operative procedure)
- Pradhan karma (Main procedure)
- Paschat karma (Post-operative care)
(1) Purvakarmas (Pre-operative Procedures)
The Preparatory Procedures are used to soften our tissues, so that lipid soluble toxins which get deposited into our tissues and are hard to eliminate, can liquefy and flow back into the digestive tract from where they are taken out. Purva karma treatments are to be performed before starting the Pradhan karma treatments. These treatments are directed to prepare a patient mentally and physically for the main procedure. It includes three procedures:
- Pachan karma- To improve digestion with some digestive herbs and fasting, so that patient can digest Ghee properly, which is given to liquefy the fat soluble toxins.
- Snehan karma-In this process, medicated Ghee is given to the patient in increasing doses which helps to liquefy the fat soluble toxins deposited in the deep tissues.
- Swedan karma– Swedan means steaming, in this process full body Steam bath is given to the patient which helps to open up the body channels while the heat helps to liquefy the toxins facilitating their movement from the tissues to the digestive tract.

Prior to this procedure the individual’s body is prepared by therapy and steam bath especially for the stomach and lower back.
- Niruha vasti: This treatment is normally done after a course of Snehavasti.
