Referring to the five classical purification procedures at the core of Panchakarma therapy.
कर्म

Action or Procedure
Each Karma is a precisely defined therapeutic action, administered in sequence to cleanse and restore the body.
आम
Aam · what is removed
Toxins & Impurities
Aam — accumulated metabolic waste — is the root of most chronic disease in Ayurvedic understanding. Panchakarma eliminates it at its source.
What is Panchakarma
Ancient Detox, Profound Results
Panchakarma is not a spa treatment. It is a clinical, physician-supervised detoxification process that has been refined over thousands of years. By systematically loosening, mobilising, and eliminating accumulated Aam from every tissue, Panchakarma restores optimal function to digestion, immunity, circulation, and the nervous system.
At Sarth, every Panchakarma programme begins with a comprehensive Prakriti assessment by our resident Vaidya — ensuring that every therapy, meal, and daily rhythm is calibrated precisely to your constitution and health goals.

About Purvakarma — The Essential Preparation Phase
A yearly Panchakarma is recommended for maintaining optimal health. All programmes begin with Purvakarma — a preparatory phase of Snehana (internal and external oleation) and Swedana (therapeutic sweating) that loosens Aam from tissues and prepares the body to release it safely through the subsequent Karmas. Do not skip this phase; it is what makes Panchakarma safe and effective.
