Many of us don't know really what  PANHCAKRMA is all about
     
    Have a look 
     
    Panchakarma -  "The Royal Treatment" - was reputedly reserved for the royal families  of ancient India,  who used it to maintain their strength and youthfulness. 
     
    Panchakarma  (Sanskrit: पंचकर्म, literally meaning "five  actions") is the word for the five different procedures used in Ayurveda  which are believed to purify the body. This is done in two ways:
     
    •           pacifying the aggravated doshas by using appropriate diet, natural herbs and  minerals.
    •           eliminating the increased Doshas from the body.
     
    Panchakarma is a purifying therapy to  enhance the metabolic process through food and herbal medicines. It is used in  deep rooted chronic disease as well as seasonal imbalance of tri-Doshas. As the  wastes are eliminated from the body the person becomes healthy. So Panchakarma  means five types of actions or techniques or treatment. These types of  therapeutics are based on elimination therapy.
     
     
    Recent research has shown that this  luxurious procedure does actually reverse age-related deteriorations in physical  functioning and has confirmed its value for both physical and mental health
