Abstract

Introduction: Ayurveda aims to cure the patient's illness while also  safeguarding the health of a healthy person. Healthy attributes and Chikitsa  Siddhanta have been suggested as ways to achieve the same. In these methods,  Panchakarma plays a significant role. Through a series of unique processes  known as Panchakarma, one can improve one's physical appearance and gain  new attributes. Vamana, Virechana, Niruha Basti, Anuvasana Basti, and Nasya are the names of these five karmas. In addition, Panchakarma also takes into  account actions like Shirodhara, Abhyang, Swedan, Katibasti, Patrapind  Swedana, Shirolep, etc. Currently, the likelihood of contracting an illness has  grown owing to the decline of routine and placing a premium on money above  health. In such a situation, these diseases can be avoided by increasing the  immunity of the body by using Panchakarma Material and Methods: Online database related to Panchakarma on Ayush  research portal, PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate, & Scopus was  searched. Classical such as Bruhattrayi and Laghuttrayi were also reviewed. Result and Discussion: Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatment is useful at treating  chronic illnesses and keeping people in a healthy state. This modality has great  promise; hence it is important to support research into this area.
