Panchakarma, a cornerstone of Ayurveda, is a fivefold therapy designed to cleanse the body of toxins and restore balance to the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). The term "Panchakarma" means "five actions" or "five treatments," referring to its five primary detoxification procedures. These therapies are highly individualized based on an individual’s constitution (Prakriti), current dosha imbalance, and specific health conditions.
