This treatment will be given at three stages :

1. Poorvakarma (preparatory procedure) – This includes internal administration of Sneha( unctuous material like ghee) followed by fomentation. The total duration may extend between 5-7 days. .External application of Snehana, as mentioned above may be advocated in some conditions instead of internal administration.

Vamana (emesis) and Virechana( purgation) are conducted in a single day; Vastis(medicated enemas) will be given in numbers of 8/ 15/30. Nasya (nasal instillation of medicine) is performed for minimum 7 days either individually or in combination with Snehana and Swedana treatments.

3. Paschat karma( post panchakarma procedure) – This consists of various procedures like Dhoomapana (medicated smoking ) etc. as well as a special diet regimen called Samsarjana karma. Ahalia emphasis upon the fact that there is no shortcut method to undergo Panchakarma.
