KAYACHIKITSA AND PANCHAKARMA
Kaya in Ayurveda means body, both physical and mental. Ayurveda aims for Swasthavrutha, to stay
healthy, and Athuravrutha, to treat the diseases of the mind and body. Staying healthy through proper
daily routine, healthy food, sustainable disciplined active lifestyle and adapting according to seasons
while maintaining mental health and a decent social behaviour is what constitutes Swasthavrutha.
Kayachikitsa is the practice of holistic management of diseases of the body and mind with customised
Ayurvedic care plans, applying modern technology wherever necessary through various therapies and
medicines. Management includes Shamana, a moderate way of attaining health through mild therapies, food regulation, and medicines. Shodhana is intensive detoxification and purification.
Panchakarma is the five-fold tool for staying healthy and treating diseases. The process passes through
three stages as the preparatory Poorvakarma, the main purificatory course of Pradhanakarma and the
post therapy recuperation period of Paschat Karma. Poorvakarma involves internal oleation with
Snehapana (oral fat ingestion) and external therapies like Abhyangam, Kizhi Treatments, and Pizhichil
etc. The process also involves sudation through Swedana, Avagaha Dhara etc.
Pradhanakarma is Vamana or controlled medicated emesis, Virechana or controlled medicated purgation, Nasya or controlled naso-sinal purification, Anuvasananasthy or controlled lubrication enema alternated by Niruhavasthy or controlled medicated enema.
