The five Sodhana kriyas that involve processes to eliminate morbid dosa imbalance are commonly called Panchakarma. The Panchakarmas are: Vamana (emesis), Virechana (purgation), Vasti (enema), Nasyam (evacuation through nasal route) and Raktamokshana (blood letting). The Panchakarmas are preceded by Purvakriyas, the preparatory procedures as specified by the physician. They involve Snehanam – a course of Abhyangam (oleation), Swedam (fomentation) and Snehapanam, ingestion of medicated ghee (purified butter) or oil.
Vamana is good for diseases which are Kapha predominated, viz., bronchitis, asthma, skin disorders, etc...
Virechana is effective for all pitta related disorders, viz., jaundice, internal worms, psoriasis, etc.
Nasyam is effective for migraine and head aches, sinusitis, cervical spondylitis and spondylosys, stiffness of the neck, facial palsy and frozen shoulder.

Panchakarma is a complex process that is undertaken only when absolutely necessary. It is carried out only by an experienced physician only after the physician is satisfied that the patient requires it and is fully prepared for it.
