Abstract The demanding nature of the contemporary lifestyle often results in improper dietary habits and heightened stress levels, contributing to the accumulation of toxins within the body and increasing susceptibility to various diseases. Ayurveda views health as a state of equilibrium among bodily elements, senses, and the mind. To restore this balance, Panchakarma, encompassing five purificatory therapies (Vamana, Virechana, Niruha Vasti, Nasya, and Raktamokshan), is employed to eliminate vitiated doshas and metabolic waste products. The efficacy of these primary procedures is enhanced by preparatory regimens (Snehana and Svedana) that mobilize toxins, and post-therapy dietary management (Samsarjana Krama) that aids in restoring metabolic function. Integrating Panchakarma principles into daily and seasonal routines (Dinacharya and Ritucharya) is emphasized for its role in proactive health maintenance and disease prevention. Moreover, this review explores the potential of Panchakarma in bolstering immunity and re-establishing bodily homeostasis, suggesting its relevance in managing emerging diseases and large-scale health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, in accordance with fundamental Ayurvedic principles for addressing widespread imbalances. Ultimately, this article underscores the significant role of Panchakarma in promoting overall well-being, preventing illness, and offering potential strategies to mitigate the impact of contemporary health challenges.
