Pancakarma Diet and Regimen
by Dr. (Vaidya) Shekhar Annambhotla
Pancakarma is one of the most important and effective therapeutic modalities available in Ayurveda. Pancakaram programs should be undertaken with a well-trained Ayurvedic physician. Additionally, during the course of Pancakarma programs, there are certain guidelines one must follow. The efficacy of Pancakarma procedures is directly dependent upon the diet and regimen specified and followed before, during and after Pancakarma. Specific recommendations vary according to an individual's constitution (Prakriti) and imbalances (Vikriti) determined by the Ayurvedic practitioner.
