Purvakarma

Purvakarma
March 9, 2022PanchakarmaDetoxificationSnehanaSwedana

Purva karma is a therapy in the traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda that prepares the body for the detoxifying and cleansing treatment known as Panchakarma. From Sanskrit, purva means “first,” “early” or “preceding” and karma translates as “action” or “activity.”
Viitated Doshas are always located in the body parts where the disease is produced. All Doshas are to be collected into the kostha from where they are eliminated through Panchakarma, for collecting all Doshas(toxins) in the alimentary canal Snehana (oleation therapy) and svedana (sweating therapy) are done. Both the therapies snehana and svedana play an important role not only as Purvakarma but also works as a line by preparatory measures. Before, the actual procedure of purification/detoxification begins, there is a great need to prepare the body for the required methods to encourage it to let go of the toxins.

Herbs play important role for procedures
Some Essentials for Procedures

Procedures in Purvakarma –
Purva karma consists of –
• Ingestion of medicated or herbal oils
• Massage therapy with oils
• Hot baths or steam baths to induce sweating
All of the purva karma methods are designed to stimulate the removal of harmful toxins from the body.

Categories / Types –
These methods of purva karma are divided into two categories
▪︎ Snehana (oleation or oil)
▪︎ Swedana (sweating).

▪︎ The two types of snehana are:
•  Bahya (external) – This consists of applying medicated or herbal oil to the skin through massage.

Snehana comes in category of Purvakarma
External Oleation

▪︎ Swedana involves heating the body or a specific area of the body to promote sweating. It is believed that toxins may be eliminated by liquefying or melting them for easier removal.

Benefits –

Snehana subsides the provocation of vata, makes the body soft and loosens the mala(waste) while on the other hand, svedana brings the toxins and waste matter to the alimentary canal by liquefying it. Then, it becomes easy to excrete through the measures of Panchakarma.
