Panchakarma, known as “five actions,” is designed to clear physical and energetic blockages; nourish the physical body; and access the subtle body where unproductive emotions obstruct energetic flow. The three doshas/bio-energies of vata (air), pitta (fire), and kapha (earth) are separated from tissue, moved back to their origins, then eliminated from the body. Each Panchakarma is unique, depending upon the imbalances and goals.
