What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is Ayurvedic therapeutic and curative treatment method. This treatment protocol is useful for detoxification and correction which helps to address the disease condition from the root.
This comprises of 5 kinds of treatment, Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshan.
Panchakarma is extremely beneficial in chronic ailments and immunity related disorders. These therapies target toxins that cause deep-seated illness, while balancing the Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).
The Panchakarma therapies are scientifically proven to eliminate several dangerous toxins.
It has been scientifically proven that natural purification treatments can successfully eliminate environmentally toxic substances such as polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB's) and pesticides from our body, without damaging it or causing side effects.
A study at the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa in collaboration with a special laboratory at Colorado University demonstrated that classical Panchakarma Treatment eliminated up to 50% of the detectable toxins in the blood.

Pre-conception Panchakarma for couples
Ayurveda considers conception is the natural manifestation of optimal health of the couple. Our body has Sapta dhathus (7 body tissues/ systems) which along with Vatha, Pitta and Kapha- are responsible for all the functions of the body.
Shukra dhatu- word used for both male and female reproductive system- is the final dhathu which is the essence of all the other 6 dhatus. Let us consider this example: if we imagine our body to be a 7-storey building, Shukra dhathu is the 7th and the topmost floor. The lower 6 floors have to be strong and sturdy for the 7th floor to remain strong.
Most often, when it comes to fertility/ conception, a lot of focus is only on the reproductive health while neglecting the foundational health.
Ayurveda recommends that we look into the health of the foundational 6 dhathus and then target strengthening and nourishing the Shukra dhathu. In this direction, pre-conception Panchakarma is the first step towards a healthy conception.
