Panchakarma is a unique health enhancing series of therapeutic measures that cleanses even the deep tissues of the body, purifies the internal channels and thereby increases vitality and provides well-being. Panchakarma has gained global attention due to its specific qualities of removing morbid doshas from the body and restoring the health. It deals with all the four principles of chikitsa told by Acharya Susruta viz sodhana, samana, brimhana and karshana. It can be done in healthy persons as a preventive aspect and in diseased condition for a curative effect. These multifocal aspects of Panchakarma make it the most popular in the context of Ayurveda.

Snehana and swedana are the important pre-requisite (purvakarama) of Panchakarma. Snehana act as lubrication for whole body, ultimately to all joints. It makes body flexible. With swedana, all toxic materials in the body are removed. In the field of Injury Management, mainly the bahiparimarjana chikitsa shows immense effect in post injury rehabilitation, in prevention of injuries and in enhancement of performance levels of sports persons.

Our Ayurvedic doctors conduct a detailed medical examination after studying the guest's health history as well as present health concerns. This examination includes assessment and identification of the mind/ body constitution basis the Ayurvedic Principles. Thereafter, an adroit panel comprising of the examining doctor, Yoga experts and Ayurveda diet specialists recommend a corrective regimen of Yoga, Ayurvedic medicines and diet based on the guest's Prakriti (Ayurvedic body constitution/genetic makeup) and Vikriti (imbalances in the mind/ body constitution) for diabetic

The consultation with the doctor will include a detailed analysis on the site, depth and cause of the injury. It needs a thorough check up on the tear of muscles, ligaments and tendons. Inflammatory changes in the nearby site should also be considered. Ayurvedic diagnostic tools such as Darsana, Sparsana and Prasna (Inspection,Palpation and Interrogation)are used. Assessment of body constitution/prakruthi and Dosha dooshya imbalances are done and treated accordingly.The dosha diet is also prescribed according to the condition.

To make a proper diagnosis, relavant imaging techniques should be done. Then it becomes clear regarding the stage and management of the case. In almost all cases of tendon/ligament tear and associated soft tissue injuries of first degree, second degree, third degree and partial tears, ayurvedic treatment gives better results than other systems without surgery.

Most of the yoga postures have static stretching effect on the connected muscles and tendons. This improves circulation of blood and prana internally through that area of the body. So when there is pain in any part of the body, the yoga movements involving the stretching of the concerned muscles help to alleviate that pain or to cure it completely. But all the movements should be executed gently, slowly and effortlessly. If the pain is in the whole body or if it is due to the after-effect of some other diseases, one has to practise yoga nidra.Pranic healing and self healing is also very effective in pain management.

"You are what you eat" is a saying that is taken seriously in Ayurveda. The Name 'Ayurveda originates from two Indian words: 'Ayur', meaning life, and 'Veda', meaning knowledge or science. The oldest known "Science of Life stresses our diet or 'ahara' impacts both, our physical and emotional wellbeing and hence, is the first and foremost pillar of science. There is a sloka (Writing of the ancient texts of Ayurveda) that says "food is medicine when consumed properly" and that improper diet produces toxins or 'ama' in the body which is the root cause of diseases and ill health. From the curative perspective, while diet alone may not be the cure of all diseases, its proper intake can keep ailments away and under control.
