Abstract
Panchakarma therapy is an integral part of Ayurveda (Indian Medical System). Panchakarma is a term used to symbolize five medical procedures for internal purification of body. Panchakarma helps in detoxifying and rejuvenating body by simple techniques that can be done easily in outdoor practice.

Public health concern can be very effectively deal with Panchakarma if it is well supported with proper scientific documentation and validation.
