Panchakarma Basics / पंचकर्म परिचय

Ayurvedic Bio-Purification Overview — Tier C6 | MPYPCP Central Knowledge Base

Maharshi Patanjali Yog Evm Prakritik Chikitsa Parishad (operational since 2007)

English

Panchakarma is Ayurvedic bio-purification: Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Raktamokshana. Only a qualified Ayurvedic physician (BAMS/MD Ayurveda) performs these; DNYS students learn overview for referral awareness — not independent practice.

हिंदी

पंचकर्म — वमन, विरेचन, बस्ति, नस्य, रक्तमोक्षण। केवल योग्य आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सक (BAMS/MD) करते हैं; DNYS छात्र अवलोकन/रेफरल जागरूकता — स्वतंत्र अभ्यास नहीं।

⚠️ Panchakarma is a serious medical procedure. Unqualified DIY practice is dangerous.
