The Panchakarma therapy is not only an important component of ayurvedic treatment but it also forms the fundamental basis of Ayurvedic therapy. The classical Ayurvedic Panchakarma is the comprehensive method of internal purification of the body by emesis, purgation, enema, snuffing, and bloodletting. The vitiated body elements and the bio-toxins need to be eliminated radically before the palliative therapy is given. The curative treatment with drugs or diet may be insufficient and ineffective if there is a functional abnormality in the system, or if the microchannels are being clogged/blocked in the tissues because of the vitiated body humours and bio-toxins.

Panchakarma therapies effectively work to restore the body physiology by dissolving and pushing the bio-toxins outside the body thereby clearing the microchannels .The curative, preventive and rejuvenation are the 3 important aspects of Panchakarma.
