Panchakarma is the most comprehensive detoxification and rejuvenation therapy in Ayurvedic medicine. The word means “five actions” — five classical purification procedures that systematically remove accumulated toxins (ama) from every tissue and channel in the body.

- Shirodhara — continuous warm oil flow on the forehead for deep nervous system calming
- Basti — medicated enemas to address Vata disorders
- Virechana — purgation therapy for Pitta conditions
