Purvakarma
The Purvakarma is done to increase the digestive fire and accumulate the toxins in the alimentary canal. It may include procedures like:

1. Deepana-Pachana- Intake of appetite-enhancing herbal formulations helps improve digestion and enhance appetite. Common herbal formulations that contain herbs like black pepper, ginger, ajwain etc., are given to boost the metabolism.
2. Snehana (intake of herbal ghee or oil massages)- Snehana is the use of oils and medicated ghees to lubricate and mobilise the accumulated toxins towards the Gastrointestinal tract to help in easy elimination during the Panchakarma. External Snehana or oil massages help to relax the muscles and improve circulation. The oil is chosen according to the condition of the individual. In internal snehana, the individual is given herbal ghees or oils to drink. This lubricates the body channels and facilitates the easy movement of toxins during purificatory therapy.
3. Swedana (Sweat therapy)- Swedana or sweat therapy is exposure to heat to induce sweating. This helps in mobilising the toxins loosened by Snehana therapy and also helps eliminate toxins by sweating. It also relieves stiffness of joints and Kapha dosha imbalances.

At Ayurvedagram, we include Kerala-style Purvakarma therapies like Pizhchil, Dhara, and Elakizhi and localised therapies like Kativasti, Shirovasti, etc. This stage usually lasts for about 4-5 days.
