Panchakarma - the body cleansing
Posted by admin on Mar 19, 2008
Physical clogging of the body, as the dust on the mirror, plays the major role in hiding our true nature from us. This pollution is much more than dust, and provides not only the physical effects: pain and suffering can change the whole psychology.
Panchakarma value is that it offers a holistic method of body cleansing and removing toxins from every cell, using the body’s natural way of self-healing: sweat glands, blood vessels, bowel and urinary tract.
In ancient Indian scientific texts Panchakarma is honored as a seasonal treatment to maintain a body health balance from year to year. Despite the rather high level of health care in the developed countries gives us the opportunity to basically feel healthy, the Americans still come to old age burdened with various diseases. In fact, less than a third of the elderly people do not show any signs of cancer, heart disorders, arthritis, diabetes, osteoarthritis and other degenerative characteristic of the aging. All of these diseases do not have any particular reason in the eyes of Western doctors, they are a set of changes that accumulate in the body over a lifetime, like a little snowball can turn inti avalanche.
Each single snowflake is not a single reason for the emergence of an avalanche, but with each snowflake being combined the avalanche becomes real. Translating it into the language of Physiology, we can not think of achieving the perfect body health balance if the little snowflakes - toxins and vicious bacterias - will not be removed immediately.
