Panchakarma in Pune, Aundh And Ghole Road

Virechana

Under Virechana Karma, medication is administered so as to enhance purging which besides others, removes Pitta dosha. It also purifies blood and other bodily essential mediums. With most toxins accumulating in the organs like the liver, the gall-bladder, the intestines etc, the primary aim of Virechana is to remove toxins from such places. Given its importance and the fact that faecal removal is one of the most natural ways, it is also the most effective. 

Basti

What is that which signifies health the most? A HEALTHY GUT! If the intestines and the region around them remain unclean and uncared for, sooner than later, problems are bound to arise. In our daily lives, due to change in weather and also the availability of more disposable income we consume the easy available so called “tasty food” that have surprisingly low nutrition.  With a lifestyle which hardly has any physical exertion, most of us give an open invitation to diseases, some of which can be life threatening.

In Ayurveda, our entire physical being is a continuous play between the five “doshas” which on a daily basis create “ama” or toxins which need to be removed at regular intervals if we want to remain healthy. Of all the elements, Vata Dosha needs special attention and care given that this element causes most problems for our health.

Unlike western medicines and applications which need minimum pre and post care, for effective Basti Karma, one needs to do the following:

Purvakarma:  “Abhyanga” or a massage in the abdominal region using herbal oils and concoctions followed by controlled sweating called “Swedana”. Foods rich in oils are avoided when one plans for Basti Karma.

Nasya

Ayurveda has always recognized this fact and has developed ways of treatment called “Nasya” where medications of various kinds are given through the nose/ nostrils. It is said to be most beneficial in pacifying the “doshas” besides removing accumulated toxins and clearing passages. This eases breathing and the passage of blood, body fluids, and nutrients. Problems including migraine, sinusitis, issues of the ear, throat, and eyes (organs above the neck) are best treated using “Nasya”. Another condition for which Nasya could be the perfect cure is “Epistaxis” i.e when the nose-bleeds. Our nostrils contain tiny blood vessels that lie close to the surface and get easily ruptured due to “Vata” conditions. This causes dryness in the air or nose-picking or even an accident/ trauma to the nose. Nasya provides just the right moisture and lubrication which keeps the nasal skin intact.

Besides treating purely physical issues described before, Nasya is very effective in the treatment of consciousness & thought-related issues like psychiatry, neurology and even stresses of certain kinds.

Benefits derived by administering Nasya:

• Strengthening of the chest, neck and shoulder areas
• Sense of smell, taste, site, and sound get restored gradually.
• Hair fall and losing of hair color get reversed.
• Long-drawn issues such as sinusitis can be completely cured when infections subside
• Clogged sinuses get cleared which results in better and deeper breathing and a feeling of intense relaxation. Bad mouth odor also gets treated when sinuses clear.
• Kapha Dosha imbalances, especially in times of weather changes result in the build-up of mucous which if not treated may get infected. Nasya completely clears the mucous and is thus good for those with constant sinus issues.
• The best cure for Epistaxis” i.e., nose-bleeds by providing much-needed moisture to the skin in the nostrils.
• Headaches and dizziness caused by stress can also be treated with Nasya.
• No side-effects! Nasya DOES NOT have side effects given that it is herb and oil-based, and does not contain harmful chemicals.

Raktamoksham

Blood, “Rakta” in Sanskrit is not only a carrier of nutrients and oxygen, it’s possibly the best and most authentic indicator of a person’s health. In Ayurvedic terms, blood or rakta is affected by all the “doshas” and in turn is also one of the causes of vitiation of these “Doshas”. Of the 3 “doshas”, Rakta is most affected by the “Pitta Dosha” whose normal characteristics and those of Rakta in a healthy state, are quite similar. This is how our way of Pachakarma treatment in Pune is excuted.

The surprising part of the not-so-used element of Panchakarma in Pune is that despite of being rarely used, it is said to provide almost immediate relief from most problems and symptoms, especially those that need critical attention! This could be due to the fact that “Raktamokshan” is done with a high degree of precision which follows a rather detailed study of the patient and his/ her ailment.
Ayurveda, a science, has prescribed elaborate ways to go about doing “Raktamokshan”.Raktamokshan has two essential elements, namely :

• Shastra Visravana (process which uses sharp and precise instruments), and
• Anushastra Visravana (process which is without the use of any instrument)

Under Shastra Visravana where sharp instruments are used, Raktamokshan is administered in the following ways:

• Prachanna – Blood-letting through small incisions on the skin of the infected area, which is first sterilized and disinfected..
• Shrivadhya – Closer to the form western science, uses to extract blood, it is done using a syringe and sharp needle. Blood is collected in a sterilised container for further investigation.
