MBS PANCHKARMA CLINIC
The most important concept of Ayurveda is Prakriti – Body Constitution – It distinguishes Ayurveda from many other healing sciences. Everybody and everything is different and there is a meaning behind that difference. Ayurveda respects each individual Prakriti and offers individually suited diet and lifestyle plans to restore balance. For this reason, Ayurvedic health plans are not ‘One size fits all’. Recently modern research is recognizing this concept as genomic typing, which Ayurveda has been promoting for thousands of years.
When it comes to treating the disease, Ayurveda recommends treating the cause, not the symptom. Unless the cause is removed, the symptoms will never be cured.
This is an era of complementary medicine. when it comes to prevention or treating chronic conditions, there is no alternative to Ayurveda.
Panchakarma is a classical form of detoxification practised throughout the ages in India routinely for prevention and treatment.
In order to stay healthy and fit one should carry out Panchakarma methods as a way of cleansing and servicing the body. The greatest benefit of this system is preventing possible illness due to accumulation of doshas or toxins which may cause obstruction of channels or ducts.
