According to Ayurveda, the tendency of gaining and losing weight can be attributed to the constitution of three doshas namely, Kapha, Vata, and Pita, and additionally the imbalance of five body elements. Lack of physical activity and an unhealthy diet can bring obesity, it cannot be solved by simply improving diet and engaging in physical activity. Instead, the underlying cause of dosha needs to be addressed, that is when Panchakarma Treatment for Weight Loss comes to play. If you are searching for panchakarma therapies, our Ayurveda clinic in Dubai provides various treatments that can settle your concerns about your body and mind.
Panchakarma is an ayurvedic detoxification treatment that includes five major procedures. It is practiced to eliminate accumulated toxins from the body by purification. Panchakarma therapy takes about 14 days. It is not purely a weight-losing treatment but it is an adjunct to reducing weight, so you can lose weight according to the practice and its effect. The result of an individual can be varied according to the body type and lifestyle choices.
These therapies can be practiced sequentially or any one of them can be opted for on its own, depending on the requirement of an individual. Following are the 5 therapeutic treatments included in Panchakarma.
Vamana
In this treatment, controlled vomiting is used to remove the toxins from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Vamana basically eliminates Kapha dosha from the body. It also helps in relieving stress and anxiety which results in improved mental health. Additionally, metabolism, as well as digestion, are improved.
Virechana
This therapy includes the removal of toxins through the anal route by controlled purgation. It mainly takes care of vitiated Pitta dosha which is the reason that causes improper digestion and distorted metabolism that lead to imprudent craving and overeating.
Basti
In this procedure, a medicated enema is given through the anal route; the medications used are special Ayurvedic preparations that cause the removal of excess fat from the body. The enema goes into the intestine and the effects of the herbs reach the whole body, affecting the fat tissues of the entire body.
The ingredients of Basti reach up to the small intestine and penetrate through the gut wall and are distributed in the body, thus exerting systemic effects. This therapeutic practice brought about a weight loss that was sustainable.
Rakta moksha
Raktha moksha is an ayurvedic treatment method for the removal of impure blood from the affected body part. Rakta Moksha therapy is also regarded as one of the five elimination procedures in Panchakarma which can bring effective results in the body.
These procedures not only help you to reduce weight but also help in relieving ailments like hypothyroid, cancer, joint issues, fertility problems, and PCOS that are caused as a result of obesity. Strict lifestyle and dietary plans are to be followed after panchakarma therapy as the body is in a very delicate state and needs time to regain strength.

A metabolic disorder caused by defective metabolism is said to be obesity. Panchakarma treatment can improve metabolism by eliminating toxins from the body. Due to low metabolism, carbohydrates and energy foods fail to engage in metabolism that gets stored as visceral fat which is a bad result that causes obesity. You can easily lose between 2-9 kg of weight easily with mild variance according to BMI readings with the help of panchakarma therapies.
