Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Panchakarma therapy is an integral part of Ayurveda (Indian Medical System). Panchakarma is a term used to symbolize five medical procedures for internal purification of body. Panchakarma helps in detoxifying and rejuvenating body by simple techniques that can be done easily in outdoor practice. Failure of contemporary medicines in the prevention of major health burdens force us to revert back for the original detoxifying naturopathy. Public health concern can be very effectively deal with Panchakarma if it is well supported with proper scientific documentation and validation.
