"Pancha" means five and "Karma" means treatment Five major procedures to eliminate the toxins from the nearest orifice are popularly called Panchakarma.
Firstly, all the toxins are dislodged from where ever it is and brought to the gut by administering fats (oil or ghee) externally and/or internally followed by applying heat.
Secondly, these are expelled out of the body by 5 procedures (Panchakarma)
Thirdly, the body has to be brought back to normal condition and rejuvenated starting with restricted diet and mild activity and gradually increasing it. All the above three are equally important. But in Kerala Panchakarma therapy, equal importance is given to the first and third step also.

Panchakarma is undergone both as preventive and curative mechanism.
