In modern times, the word “Panchakarma” has actually come to mean something even broader and more complex than just detoxing. Rejuvenative treatments are also included in Panchakarma.

Rather than treating a specific set of symptoms, these treatments are mainly health promotive for both the mind and the body.

These therapies provide deep relaxation to alleviate stress, relieve pain, and restore physical and mental balance.

There are five major treatments for deep cleansing but for general health maintenance there are more than 300 treatments called Upakarma—selective treatments.
