−The word panchakarma is composed of two words, ‘pancha’ and ‘karma’. Pancha means five and karma means ‘action’.<ref>Monier-Williams, Monier-Williams Sanskrit- English Dictionary, 1st edition; Oxford University Press, Karman, Page 258</ref> In this context karma represents therapeutic procedure or treatment given by a physician. Thus, Panchakarma means the five kinds of therapeutic procedures or treatments. This includes therapeutic emesis ([[vamana]]), therapeutic purgation ([[virechana]]), therapeutic enema ([[basti]]) with decoction ([[niruha]]), enema with unctuous substances ([[anuvasana]]) and trans-nasal drug administration ([[nasya]]). These procedures are intended to maintain equilibrium in body by expelling the excessively aggravated [[dosha]] outside through nearest external route. [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 2/15] [Su.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 33/3]. These are indicated as seasonal regimen for preservation of health and prevention of diseases. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 7/45-50]
