Panchakarma - An Ayurvedic Method to Detox Your Body
Our body has the ability to heal itself, but improper diet, lack of exercise and lifestyle choices often prevent us from achieving optimal health. The focus is slowly shifting towards natural healing methods, and Panchakarma is one of them. This five-stage treatment originates from the amazing world of Ayurveda and is known to detox the body, thus paving the way for good health and well being.
What is Panchakarma?
The Sanskrit word ‘Panchakarma’ is made up of two words- pancha, meaning “five” and karma, meaning “treatment”. So, it’s a combination of five methods to bring balance to every constitution type (prakruti). Panchakarma penetrates deep into the tissues to tackle stress and relieve pain. It is the ultimate Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation of the mind and body.
What Does Panchakarma Do?
According to ancient Ayurveda scriptures, unhealthy food and a sedentary lifestyle give rise to a foul-smelling, sticky and harmful substance. This is called “ama” and should be expelled from the body so that the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys can function to their maximum capacity. Panchakarma involves the use of massages, oil baths and nasal treatments to eliminate this waste matter from the body. As every individual differs in terms of their amount of digestive fire (agni), age, and severity of health conditions, they may need to go through one or all of the five healing stages. The sessions are a pleasurable experience, but a “healing crisis” may occur during the course of the treatment. This is nothing to worry about, as it’s just the body discarding harmful substances.
What Happens Before a Panchakarma Treatment?
Before the actual treatment starts, people usually undergo two processes- oleation and fomentation. Oleation is the application of various Ayurvedic oils that help relax the body and loosen up toxins from the tissues. Fomentation is when your body is made to flush out these toxins through sweat.
What Are the Five Panchakarma Treatments?
Although we have all vata, pitta and kapha doshas in our body, one of them dominates the rest. Imbalance in the dominating dosha can cause serious and chronic illnesses. Each of the five treatments of Panchakarma is dedicated to curing one particular dosha.
1. Vamana
Vamana is suggested for those who have a kapha-dominated body type, and are suffering from weight gain, asthma and hyperacidity. With the help of oleation and fomentation, the toxins turn into a liquid state and are cleared through induced vomiting.
2. Virechan
Those with pitta-dominated conditions such as jaundice and colitis should go for Virechan treatment of Panchakarma. After oleation and fomentation, the person will be given a herbal laxative for the cleansing of the bowels.
3. Nasya
Nasya is very helpful for individuals battling migraines, sleep disorders, sinusitis and hairfall. In the beginning, the head, neck and shoulders are massaged with herbal oils. Then, medicial nasal drops are administered to promote relaxation and healing.
4. Basti
Being the mother of all Panchakarma treatments, Basti works well for everybody, irrespective of their dosha. It’s an effective way to cure convoluted and chronic diseases such as arthritis, piles and constipation. As per the nature of the problem, herbal decoction, oil, milk or ghee are administered into the rectum to cleanse it.
5. Raktamokshana
This is the method of blood cleansing. Raktamokshana treatment is highly preferred by those who suffer from skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. One can also choose to administer it to a certain part of the body.
What are the Benefits of Panchakarma?
Panchakarma has numerous benefits both for those facing chronic health conditions and those who wish to prevent them. Some of them are:
1. Improves health by eliminating toxins from the body and mind
2. Strengthens the immune system
3. Slows down ageing, allowing you to retain a youthful appearance
4. Enhances mental clarity, enabling you to make wise choices
5. Promotes deep relaxation
6. Resolves energy blockages in the body and opens up chakras
7. Improves digestion
8. Helps weight loss by rejuvenating tissues
What are the Restrictions to be Observed during Panchakarma Treatments?
Panchakarma treatments typically last for 21 days. Some restrictions that one may have to observe at home during the various stages of treatment are:
1. Avoid extremely hot and cold temperatures.
2. Avoid loud noise.
3. Take rest on feeling tired.
4. Eat foods that the body can easily digest.
5. Go to bed early.
6. Not suppressing a cough, sneeze, or nature’s call.
7. Abstaining intimacy with their partner.
Note: Panchakarma treatments are not advisable if one has a fever, is pregnant or injured. Treatments should be started only after consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
If allopathic medication isn’t giving you the desired results or you’re looking for something long-term, you should give the Ayurvedic Panchakarma detox a try. Not only does Panchakrama heal the symptoms, but also activates the body’s self-healing mechanism.

A Little Note for the Women Being Moms for the First Time
Life is crazy isn't it.
But wait until a human pops out of your body and hello life gets crazier!
Hence, not just a child but a mom is born. Being mom comes naturally well not exactly because there is a lot, I mean a lot to learn. Starting from how to feed your baby, change her nappy, put her to sleep and the list goes on and on. But being mom starts the moment you see her little face or maybe way ahead when you know that you have a tiny human being growing inside you. You eat right, sleep right and try to do everything right for the little one. And when she is born your happiness has no boundaries and your worries are limitless.
Being mom doesn't come easy, you get consumed. There might be a lot of help but you think it's only you who can do the best for her. No more coffee dates, no movie nights. Infact even career takes a set back. All for the li'l human being who is mini you. The eyebrows outgrown and pyjamas worn all day. You forget when was the last time you had seen yourself in the mirror. But everytime you hold her and look into her eyes, you see a beautiful mom.
Well that's how moms are made and it's all worth it, when there is a room full of people your baby will crawl to you and nobody else. It might be exhausting and life will be crazy with a baby but being mom is the most amazing feeling in the world. No other relationship so pure and true than to be a mom to a baby. Being mom is super power God gifted to women and it's just so gratifying.
P.S Lots of love to all those women who are being mom.

चाँद का टुकड़ा नहीं चमकता सूरज है मेरा अनय
उर्मिला मेरी माँ का नाम, आपको पता है शादी के बाद जब भी मैं मायके से ससुराल के लिए निकलती, मम्मी की छोटी-छोटी आँखों से वो बड़े-बड़े आँसू निकल जाते। जब मैं पूछती कि क्यों रोती हो हमेशा, तो मेरी माँ कहती थी - जब तेरा बेबी आएगा ना तब तुझे पता चलेगा मैं क्यों रोती हूँ!
15 जुलाई 2018, जब मेरी पतली कमर को, कमरा बनने का नोटिस आया हाहा! वाउ मेरे फैमिली फोटोफ्रेम का साइज बढ़ने वाला था, क्यूंकि बहुत जल्द कोई आने वाला था! हसबैंड ने सुना तो 'अरे मैं तो बाप बन गया' वाले गाने पर डांस करने लगे वो भी बैठे-बैठे? । बाई गॉड, बहुत बुरा डांस करते हैं ?। घर के सारे लोग खुश, और होने वाले बेबी का मामा, जिसको मुझसे बदला लेना था बोला, "आप मुझे मारती हो ना जब आपका बेबी आएगा तो उसको मारूंगा"? ।
धीरे-धीरे वक्त गुजरता गया, एक दिन हम मूवी देखने गए, ट्रेलर देखकर ऐसा लगा था कि मूवी मस्त होगी, पर जब बेबी ने 3-4 लातें जड़ीं तब समझ आया कि हमारी तरह उसको भी मूवी पसंद नहीं आ रही थी ??। वो हमारा फर्स्ट बेबी किक एक्सपीरिंस था, जो कि बहुत मजेदार था। धीरे-धीरे पति की केयरिंग के साथ आ गया 7 मंथ। मामू की शादी थी, बहन का होना कंपल्सरी था, पहुँचे हम अपने शोना मोना के साथ? ।
खूब मस्ती की, सबको डांस करता देख मैं रह नहीं पाई और एक दो ठुमके मैंने भी लगा दिए??।हाँ, कभी-कभी ये अंदर बहुत परेशान करता था, पर मैंने शुरू से आखिर तक ये दिल में बैठा रखा था, कि मेरा बेबी अंदर अंधेरे में अकेले है, उसे बस रोशनी में लेके आना है, चाहे उसके लिए मेरा सब कुछ कुर्बान हो जाए, मेरी जान, पर तुझे सही सलामत दुनिया में लैंड कराना है?।
कुछ बुजुर्ग रिश्तेदार जो शादी में आए थे, वो तो फ्यूचर बताने लगे कि अरे इसका तो बेटा ही होगा, अरे बस होने ही वाला है ब्ला ब्ला ब्ला उफ्फ??। शादी हो गई, बेबी नहीं आया?? रिश्तेदार भले चले गए!
9 महीने गुजर गए पर हमारे नवाब साहब आराम कर रहे थे, आने का नाम ही नहीं ले रहे थे। 9.5 महीने हो गए, थोड़ी टेंशन हुई। होली के एक दिन पहले नवाब साहब का आराम हुआ खतम और ये हल्ला मचाया मुझे निकालो, मुझे निकालो। पूरा एक दिन दर्द के बाद नॉर्मल सुबह 7.03 मिनट पर मुझे मेरा चाँद का टुकड़ा नहीं, चमकता हुआ सूरज मिला। इस होली ने सच में हमारे जिंदगी में रंग भर दिए!अनय नाम रखा उसका। वैसे बहुत क्यूट है और बड़ा शरारती भी! धन्यवाद गॉड जी!

PERKS OF BEING BOUGHT UP IN A JOINT FAMILY: HOW IT HELPED ME IN THE UPBRINGING OF MY CHILD.
I was bought up in a joint family which includes
living with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and multiple cousins. My youngest cousin is 4 years old, so you can
imagine the age gaps that run in my family.Being the eldest of
all the children turned into an advantage for me in upbringing my daughter, who
turned a year old on 4 Jan 2021. The few things that I knew about pregnancy was that
you eat more, you feel nauseous, dizzy, and of course, your belly grows to make
room for your baby. I was prepared in a certain way for these things but
there were many other aspects that I only got to know when I got pregnant like
morning sickness, heightened sense of smell, mood swings, and many more. Pregnancy is a package in itself and it is different
for every individual. I had little to less knowledge about pregnancy but I
was well aware of the facts in taking care of the baby. I had a complete blueprint ready in my mind about
how I am going take care of my child, as I had seen varied scenarios of my
aunts taking care of my cousins. How I am going take my baby in my arms, to giving a
bath, changing clothes and diapers, etc. I knew everything and trust me it helped me a lot. First food, every home remedy in taking care of a
sick baby, and many more. I had known every aspect of my baby’s every first. I find myself lucky enough to have known all this
and because of it, I was able to take care of my baby in a smooth manner. I had prepared her timetable and confined myself to
follow that timetable strictly. This proved my only way to take out time for
myself and complete other tasks and rest for a while. In the beginning, noting my daughter’s timetable was
a task for me but when I had noted her timetable everything seemed easy for me. The joint family is rare nowadays but if you have
one then trust me you are blessed.Those who don’t come
to joint families don’t get disheartened. A mother can never do anything wrong
for her children. It might take a while for you to handle it but once
you get a hold of it, that will be a cakewalk for you. Good luck to all the mothers and me as well. Stay
safe. Stay healthy.
