five-fold purification
therapy aims at correcting
the imbalance of the
body's Doshas in order
to maintain their inherent
equilibrium and Ama,
which forms as a result.
Panchakarma therapy
has three main stages
: Poorvakarma, the first
stage, comprises essential
preliminary procedures
for preparing the body
to unload stored toxins.

to loosen Ama (toxins)
and move it out to the
deep structures into
the gastro-intestinal
tract, where Panchakarma's
cleaning therapies can
then eliminate it. Pradhanakarma
is the second stage
and includes the main
cleansing therapies.
Paschatkarma is the
final stage and describes
the measures employed
