The best solution for curable diseases mentioned in general medicine is elimination therapy i.e. panchakarma, the unique specialty of Ayurveda. To practice this therapeutic techniques one must possess sufficient theoretical as well as practical knowledge, otherwise they may come across many complications in their practice. Panchakarma promotes detoxification and rejuvenation. It will help to remove the excess doshas and correct imbalances in them as well as eliminate the harmful ama (toxins/ waste matters) out of the body systems.
In Susruta Samhitha, Rakta Mokshana is added to the above by clubbing both Vasti Karmas as one. So that the number five remains the same.
Panchakarma performed in 3 stages
It is important to prepare the body before starting the panchakarma procedures. So we are adopting deepana-pachana, snehana, Swedana as pre operative procedure.

Applying and ingesting unctuous substances(oil, ghee etc) in order to loosen and mobilize the accumulated toxins (ama) .This include abyanga (oil massage) and snehapanam (internal intake of fatty substances) .
Swedana Karma is the procedure which is used to induce sweating with or without the use of heat and always follows on from an snehana treatment. It liquifies the doshas,clears the obstruction of channels of circulation.It cures stiffness, coldness and heaviness.
