National Institute of Ayurveda

With rapid economic advancement and increasing westernization of lifestyle in the past few decades, prevalence of many diseases like obesity, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, spinal problems, carcinomas of different parts of body, high cholesterol level, anxiety & depression, etc. has reached alarming proportions among people in the recent few years. Diet & life style are the major factors thought to influence susceptibility to these diseases. Drug abuse, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake as well as lack of exercise, a sedentary life style combined with an increase in the consumption of fatty & junk food is to blame cases of obesity, diabetes, etc. Failure of modern medicines in the prevention of major health burdens force us to revert back for the original detoxifying naturopathy [1].
Ayurveda the science of life, describes the management of life style diseases in the forms of proper dietary & behavioural management(dinacharya & ritucharya), Panchkarma procedures, medicaments & rejuvenation therapies. Vitiated dosha is the basic factor in the manifestation & progress of any disease. Panchkarma therapy aims at the elimination of vitiated Dosha from the body so that the disease would be prevented or if the pathology has already established can be treated in the effective manner. Panchkarma helps in detoxifying and rejuvenating body by simple techniques that can be done easily in outdoor practice[2].

Keywords: Life style disorders, Panchkarma, Detoxification therapy.
