Shodhana – Elimination Therapy

According to Ayurveda medicine, once the disease or disorders have become acute and / or chronic, the balancing Ayurveda therapy becomes obsolete because of the span of time it would require the therapy to completely rebalance the Doshas.

It is therefore advisable by Ayurveda health studies that one should cross over to a more intense therapy, an elimination therapy instead of a balancing therapy, better known as the Shodhana herbal natural remedy therapy.

Reasonable enough, the elimination therapy requires much less time than the balancing therapy for its herbal remedies to take effect and is also more effective on the weakened points.

With the use of Pancha Karma Ayurveda technique, the Shodana elimination therapy works by expelling the malicious Doshas from the body. The therapy involves the use of the following cleansing methods;

• Vamana- emetic therapy (supervised vomiting Ayurveda treatment)
• Virechana- the use of health herbal laxatives
• Vasti- healing herbal enema
• Nasya- nasal administration
• Rakta Mokshana - blood letting

The Shodhana elimination therapy is normally initiated by preparatory herbal treatments in order to soften the Doshas causing the disorder and /or disease concerned.

These preliminary treatments, that always include herbal products, have also the duty to move these Doshas to either the stomach or directly to the intestine where the above listed Ayurveda herb cleansing methods can be applied to completely remove these harm full Doshas from one's body.

Most importantly, for your reference, these Ayurveda care herbal series of treatments, collectively named as the Shodhana elimination therapy, can and should be used by anyone to prevent the Doshas from attacking the body immunization system rather than curing the disorder when the harm has been done.

Any female during her pregnancy period should avoid practicing the Shodhana therapy unless it is otherwise directly recommended and prescribed by a qualified health herbal professional practitioner.
