The equilibrium of the three DOSHAS( bodily humors - Vatha,Pitha, and Kapha) , the balanced existence with periodical transformation of seven Dhathus (Seven major classification of the body , Rasa -the final nourishment factor derived from food after the completion of digestion, Raktha- blood, Mamsa-flesh, Meda-fat, Asthi -bone, Majja- bone marrow and Sukra - The semen), normal activity of the mind which is having three qualities (Sathwa-brightness, Raja- power of karma and Thamas- darkness), the normal functioning of digestive fire (Jadaragni), uninterrupted smooth functioning of five sense organs(Indriyas) and the perfect functioning of excretory system (Three Malas) altogether leads to normal functioning and existence of healthy body - which is constituted by five great elements (Pancha maha bhoothas -The Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether ), the ultimate result is a blissful life.

To fulfill its mission Ayurveda advises two methods; they are recovery from existing disease and preservation of wellbeing of the healthy individual.

The climate changes that occur in different seasons (Rithus) ,day, night, the improper use of sense organs , unwholesome food habits, ageing, body nature(Prakruthy), improper psychological activities etc. leads to vitiation of above said bodily constituents as well as mental qualities causing disturbance in its equilibrium and ultimately result in destruction of health and onset of disease.

Ayurveda the perfect healing system which is greatly contributing to mankind for thousands of years has two prime methods to achieve its goal. They are Sodhana(Purification) and Samana(Pacification).

The Sodhana therapy ensures the proper functioning and equilibrium of bodily constituents and mind by eliminating the aetiological factors deposited even from the minutest channels of body called Srothas and also by nourishing the entire body.

There are five methods for the sodhana or purification of the body. They are Vamana, Virechana, Vasthi, Rakthamokshana and Nasya. These methods altogether entitled as "Panchakarma."

Vamana karma is a process by which the Kaphadosha predominant elements which can be the cause of disease in the upper one third of the body are being eliminated.

Virechana karma cleans the channels (srotha) by eliminating the Pithadosha predominant etiological element from the middle one third of the body.

Vasthi karma is very much proven beneficial to excrete the vitiated Vathadosha which is having its base in the lower one third of the body, along with other associated etiological elements.

Rakthamokshanam, the fourth method ensures purification of blood and circulatory system.

Nasya karma is prescribed for head and neck, by which the vitiated factors causes' disease are being eliminated through the nostrils.

A person is considered eligible for performing Panchakarma only after that individual has satisfactorily completed the two preliminary processes, Snehana and Swedana, together called Poorvakarma.

Snehana is a process of administration of ghee, oil, animal fat or bone marrow, internally as well as externally, by which the vitiated bodily constituents adhered in the minute channels of body are being liquefied

Snehana is followed by the second preliminary process, Swedana(sweating). Acharya Charaka, the most admired among the masters, scholars and sages who practiced and researched in Ayurveda has prescribed thirteen varieties of sweating process. The well known and widely practiced process as like Njavarakkizhi, Pizhichil, Dhara, Sirodhara Pathrapottalam, Sirovasthi .etc. are different varieties of above mentioned thirteen swedana processes. Through the dietary regiments (peyadikrama) and other post panchakarma regulations the body attains a harmony and the individual feels his own health as a kind of happiness and liberation. The whole world has recognized and accepted Ayurveda, as an alternative system of medicine which has its presence as a part of life of each keralite for many centuries. Pancha karma therapy and its preliminary process are the backbone of "Kerala Ayurveda". Ayurdhara
