[jamesmayur]

The rule of Ayurvedic treatment is that it probes to discover the root of any disease and totally eliminates it from the whole being of the patient. In keeping with this there are primarily six kinds of "chikitsa"(treatment) ,available in Ayurveda :

Shodan or Purification

Shaman or Palliation

Pathya Vyavastha or Diet regulation

Nidan parivajan or Prevention of diseases

Satvavajaya or mental cleansing

Rasayana therapy or rejuvenation therapy

Shodhana : Shodhana involves wiping away the disturbing elements, causing somatic or psycho-somatic disorders from the body matrix. "Panchakarma" is usually the method followed in shodhan. Panchakarma is the five-steps Ayurvedic programme , necessary for the fundamental purification and anti-poisoning treatment. These 5 ways are Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamokhshana.Vamana is the ejection or medicated emesis of Kapha toxins (bronchitis, cold, cough ) accumulated in the body and respiratory tract.Any type of congestion will disappear along with breathlessness and sinus.Virechana cleanses the body of Pitta toxins collected in the liver and gallbladder. It cures gastro-intestinal disorders.Nasya is the application of medicated oils through nasal opening to remove Kapha toxins from the head and neck areas.It is highly effective for fighting with diseases like Trigeminal Neuralgia, Bel`s Palsy, headaches of Hemiphlegia origin, memory weakness etc. Basti throws away all the three "dosas", Vata-Pitta-Khapa toxins through the colon. Medicated oil or ghee and an herbal decoction is administered as enema .It provides remedies for colitis, spondylitis, Hemiphlegia, irritable bowel syndrome, sexual debility etc. Raktamokshana is the blood-purifying process. It washes away toxins that intrude through the gastro-intestinal tract. It helps eradicating diseases like eczema ,acne, scabies, leucoderma etc. However it is avoided being risk-prone for patients suffering from anemia, edema or for very old or young patients.

Shamana : Shamana succeeding Shodhan or detoxification, is urgent for correcting the imbalances of all the "doshas" in the body-construct. In this course of medication , appetizers, digestives, palliatives and sedatives catalyze "Agni"(cauterization) in the internal constitution of the body, inactivates the bad humors or "doshas" and ultimately restores their balance. Above all, exposure to fresh air, to the sun stimulates fast recovery.

Pathya Vyavastha : A proper dietary regimen, prescribed by the physician is indispensable for seeking optimum metabolism .Ayurveda believes that food regulates biological activities, physiological processes and emotional status.

Nidan Parivajan : Nidan Parivajan clinically locates the factors causing health-issues and skillfully obstructs one`s susceptibility to diseases.

Satvavajaya : Satvavajaya heals the agony of the psyche. This instills courage, boosts the level of confidence, increases memory -power and intensity of concentration in a wretched soul. Yoga or meditation or involvement in a spiritual pursuit breathes life into spiritual deadness.

Rasayana : When life is losing away its luster,when youth is fading away or when beauty is lacking its appeal, Rasayana is the only ray of hope. This Ayurvedic boon regains the lost strength and vitality, and obstructs the approach of premature ageing . Medicinal herbs and potions preserves the precious youth.
