Understanding Panchakarma: The Steps of Treatment

The five procedures and three phases of Panchakarma in brief, and where to read the full guide.

Key Takeaways
Panchakarma means five actions: Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshana.
Every course runs in three phases: Purvakarma (preparation), Pradhanakarma (the main procedure) and Paschatkarma (diet and recovery).
Nobody receives all five. The doctor selects one or two by indication, and a course runs about 3 to 30 days.
Assessment comes first. Panchakarma is deferred in pregnancy, during an acute illness or fever, and in several ongoing conditions. The doctor reviews your history and medicines, and prescribed medicines continue as directed.
