Panchakarma Treatment Brazil

If you have reached this point, your interest in receiving a profound Panchakarma treatment must be immense, so it is essential to clarify the details of this process.

In Ayurveda, we study how diseases establish themselves, the pathophysiology of Ayurveda, and we have the ability to treat conditions before the disease manifests its symptoms.

Initially, the Dosha accumulates in its place of origin, likely due to Ahara (Nutrition) and Vihara (Lifestyle). This stage, called Chaya, is extremely normal, as our diet, activities, climate, living environment, habits, and lifestyle cause the Doshas to increase in quantity and alter in quality, a phenomenon we refer to as aggravation.

At this stage, treatment is simple, and small changes along with the use of medicinal herbs can significantly improve the patient’s condition, preventing the progression of the process.

However, if we do not take the necessary measures at this first stage, we inevitably reach the second stage, Prakopa. In this stage, the Dosha begins to aggravate, with more pronounced action and expression, showing significant signs/gunas. If the patient continues to be exposed to the causative factors, they will certainly progress to the third stage. It is important to note that we are still talking about the accumulation of Dosha in the digestive system, koshta, and it is still reasonably easy to treat at this point!

However, people in the West do not know how to read their body’s signs, do not perceive the aggravation of the Dosha, and persist in harmful dietary habits and an unhealthy lifestyle. Thus, the Dosha reaches its peak, where it can no longer be contained by the digestive system and overflows into the body. This occurs through the membranes of the organs, which are permeable. We then reach the third stage – Prasara – the overflow of the Dosha, out of its site of origin, into a tissue/dathu or channel/srota, usually mixing with the plasma/Rasa Dathu and manifesting on the skin.

Now, the situation is more complicated, as removing the Dosha after Prasara, the spreading throughout the body, requires more intensive treatment.

It is rare to find people with a clean body and unobstructed channels. Additionally, it is difficult to find individuals with a truly balanced diet, so it is common for bodies to have weakened, less resistant tissues. These tissues are what we call Dushya – weakened tissue.

Well, the aggravated Doshas combine with another physiological entity, AMA, or undigested food, resulting from a weakened and insufficient digestive fire, and settle in these weakened tissues. This phase is called Sthana Samsraya!

Reviewing the process – The Dosha finds a weakened or suitable place to settle, which can be a tissue (Dushya), or other body residues, including Ama and Malas – We have the onset of symptoms. Sammurchana is an “amalgamation” composed of the aggravated Dosha, with Ama, that binds to weakened and susceptible tissues in an inflammatory process.

At this point in the process, symptoms that typically lead people to seek medical attention begin to appear. This stage is called Vyadhi – Symptoms become more evident, and the disease begins to manifest fully. Note that Ayurveda would have intervened long before this point!

In the final stage, called Bheda, the person may develop a secondary condition, with the primary disease leading to secondary problems.

After this somewhat lengthy explanation, which has been summarized as much as possible, it is easy to see that we have all had phases in our lives where we abused our diet and did not maintain good habits. It would be difficult to find someone over 30 years old with a perfect digestive fire, agni, who has not accumulated Doshas and undigested food that establish themselves in the body as toxins. In other words, it would be hard to find people for whom Panchakarma would not be extremely useful and beneficial!

Thus, we see that Panchakarma is a cellular level surgery, as it goes down to the tissue level, removing everything that could potentially harm them!
