ABSTRACT

Panchakarma is applicable in all the eight branches of Ayurveda. Panchakarma chikitsa encloses the primary line of treatment i.e, treating the doshas and vyadhi both, basically which can be said as dosha pratyanika chikitsa and vyadhi pratyanika chikitsa .As per acharya sushruta, rakta being the chaturtha dosha(fourth element),even it is also treated for its vishamata as per panchakarma. One which causes badha(trouble) to the manah(mind) and shareera(body) are called shalya (foreign body). Shalya chikitsa and panchakarma chikitsa can be planned under same protocols as per sushruta’s and trividha karma theory. The shalya vyadhies which are acute and chronic in origin will be benefited from panchakarma also. Hence an attempt is made in this article to illustrate the role of panchakarma chikita in shalya vyadhies like arshas,(haemorrhoids), ashmari(calculi), bhagandara(fistula-in-ano), vrana(wound), bhagna(fractures), vidhradhi(abcess) granth ,apachi, (swellings) arbuda(tumours), vrudhi roga(hernia).
