*BODY PURIFICATION - BODY DETOX:* 

Hi Friends, 

We all have heard that - 

 *Happiness lies first of all in health* 

 *All the money in the world can’t buy you back good health.* 

*The greatest wealth is good health.* 

Now let me ask you - have you serviced your body?

Most of the people will answer no.

When we buy an Air-conditioner worth Rs.30,000 only, we go for servicing for at least once in 3 months but we are not bothered to do servicing of our body which is most precious thing we have in this world. Further, with money, you can easily replace your old Air-conditioner with new Air- conditioner but which is next to impossible in case of your healthy body. Hence, only option available is to take care of your body when it is healthy to maintain the same or else spend lots of money and energy to recover the healthy body to some extent.

How much dirt would have accumulated in the body due to things like not eating food on time, lack of exercise, junk food?

So now what should we do for servicing our body? 

Thousands of years ago, body detox has been described in Ayurveda.

Ayurveda says, the purpose of Ayurveda is to protect health of healthy and alleviate disorders in the deceased. It has also been indicated as science of protection of your Age (Ayu). 

According to Ayurveda, a person who has excretion of feces and urine at the right time, feels good appetite, keeps the mind happy and gets good restful sleep, such a person is said to be healthy.

Hence, in order to protect the health of such a person and destroy the disease of sick persons, Ayurveda tells us the method of treatment. The most important method is Body Purification (body detox) is necessary and we can purify this body through Panchakarma.

Panchakarma means five remedies.

1) *Vamana* - Purification of the body by vomiting

2) *Virechana* - Purification of the body by elimination of toxins using herbal laxatives

3) *Basti* - Releasing different types of oils and decoctions into the body through the rectum

4) *Raktamokshan* - Throwing out dirty contaminated blood by joke or from the head

5) *Nasya* - Releasing medicine inside the body through the nose

Which of these treatments should be done, it is decided according to the condition of Vata, Pitta, Kapha.

According to Ayurveda, the equilibrium of these doshas gives health to the body.

These doshas are found in the body in different stages according to age, stage, time of day and night and season like Vata predominance in old age and rainy season, Pitta predominance in youth and autumn, Kapha predominance appears in childhood and spring.

According to these special conditions, if we do proper Panchakarma, then the defects remain in equilibrium and the person does not get sick.
