Panchakarma
There are 3 energy forces that run the physiology of the human body. Vat, Pitta and Kapha.
Panchakarma consists of five major karmas and it also contains additional procedural karmas. They can be successfully used after studying their proper indications.
Mostly, cancer patients are too fragile to be undergo any major karma procedure. Rasayu Cancer Clinic has designed many other karma procedures for specific cancer patients. Development of such procedures is under critical and research program of Rasayu to address precise needs of cancer patients. For instance Karma procedure to address (i) Insomania of cancer patients (ii) Pain management of cancer patients.
Rasayu has introduced highly innovative karma procedures that are easy to handle and mainly to address niche segment of unmet medical challenges of cancer patients with the help of advanced technology and tools.
Imbalance in the form of excess or deficiency or perversion among the 3 would lead to a pathology. Restoring the balance is the primary objective of any treatment.
Ayurveda has broadly divided treatment approach in to 2 types; Containment or Shaman and Elimination or Shodhan. The Rasayana therapy falls into the Shaman treatment approach which is containment of the imbalanced doshas.
When the forces are excessively imbalanced and containment not feasible, there is a need for elimination which is done by the Panchakarma therapies.There are 5 pathways by which we can remove these excesses which lead to 5 (panch) karma (therapies). Panchakarma treatments are done only if the patient meets the reconditional parameters.
