Dear Friend of Namaste, A year ago I launched an exciting new Chopra Center affiliate program with Spa Moksha, The Foundation for Mind Body Medicine in the beautiful Appalachian foothills of Alabama. Spa Moksha offers Chopra Center signature therapies and body treatments and a wonderfully detoxifying Panchakarma program. The Panchakarma program at Spa Moksha is designed to cleanse and rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit on all levels. In addition to The Chopra Center signature treatments and therapies, your Panchakarma program will include yoga classes and sessions on nutrition and diet. As one recent Spa Moksha guest wrote, "It may be a trite _expression but words simply can not express my appreciation for your wisdom and your Panchakarma program in general...thanks for being willing to work in my 'zone'." Consider a visit to Spa Moksha as we move from summer into fall or winter into spring depending on where you call home. ... Love, Deepak

Panchakarma

Pancha Karma is the process, which gets to the root cause of the problem and corrects the essential balance of 'Tridosha' in body. Pancha Karma is not only good for alleviating disease but is also a useful tool in maintaining excellent health. Ayurveda advises undergoing Pancha Karma at the seasonal changes to clean the body, improve the digestion and to improve the metabolic processes.

Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means "five actions" or "five treatments".

This age-old science of purifying the body is an ancient branch of Ayurveda, The Treatment in Ayurveda consists of two main types.

One is Shaman Chikitsa, used to subdue the vitiated Doshas, due to which any ailments may be produced. It is administered by using various medicinal herbo-mineral preparations.

However, if the Doshas are vitiated beyond a particular level, they give rise to various endotoxins, which have a tendency to be accumulated in the minute channels. These are beyond the level of pacification and hence need to be eliminated or removed from the body. In such cases, the second type of treatment, which is Shodhan Chikitsa or cleansing therapy, is indicated. Since it consists of the five types of main therapies, it is known as the Panchakarma Chikitsa.
