Dr. Singh explained that the Panchakarma program at AIIMS Bhopal will encompass five fundamental therapies:
Sudation therapy: This treatment promotes sweating through steam applications, facilitating detoxification by opening pores and expelling toxins from the body.
Shirodhara: A deeply relaxing therapy where medicated oil, milk, or buttermilk is poured in a continuous stream onto the forehead, promoting profound relaxation, mental clarity, and stress relief.
Hydrotherapy: Utilizing the physical properties of water, including temperature and pressure, hydrotherapy enhances blood circulation, alleviates symptoms of various conditions, and fosters overall health.
Snehana: This involves applying herbal and mineral-based oils to the body that penetrate deeply into tissues, imparting medicinal properties to every cell and loosening toxins trapped within.
Swedana: Fomentation therapies are employed to induce sweating, softening tissues to enhance flexibility and helping to liquefy and expel toxins from the body.
Dr. Singh further noted that Panchakarma offers numerous benefits, including complete body detoxification, toxin elimination, increased metabolic rate, weight reduction, improved digestion, relaxation of the mind and body, tissue regeneration, enhanced immunity, and stress alleviation.
