Ancient ayurvedic practices are filled with goodness for humanity. In Panchakarma, one of the practices is massaging the body after applying medicated oil not only for detoxification but also to elevate pain and provide deep healing. Panchakarma massage is a simple form to achieve complete balance of body, mind, and consciousness through purification, It even restores balance, and well-being and improves the ability of the natural defense mechanism of the human body
Panchakarma is one that is prescribed in Ayurveda, for detoxification, rejuvenation and deep healing.
Usually, people approach hospitals when they are sick, however, in Ayurveda even healthy people can have Panchakarma to prime their body.
Panchakarma helps to maintain the healthy status of your body and also in case of illness; it helps to uproot the disease completely and increase immunity of body.
In today’s lifestyle, the stress and pain we all are bearing are tremendously high, and this changes the homeostasis of our bodies. Along with increased stress hormones and the toxins aggravated in our body through continuous exposure to pollutants, chemicals, and heavy metals in the food, our body is suffering.
We cannot easily understand its effects, even though we feel healthy, this is creating a complex reaction in our body. These toxins and chemicals left over in the body will create serious health issues like autoimmune disease, chronic pain and degeneration, and various skin issues, including psoriasis.
So the ultimate goal of Panchakarma is to eliminate these toxins and increased stress hormones from the human body; while balancing all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) – the soul energies, in which the Ayurveda Acharya’s believed that govern our bodies and all its physiobiological functions.
Hence the Panchakarma massage using medicated oil is essential in ayurvedic practices.
