In the recent past the entire world is looking for Alternative therapies and that too Ayurveda for the management of their health problems. Accordingly a lot of treatment centers based on Panchakarma are mushrooming every nook and corner of the cities and towns all over the country and practicing without following the guidelines laid down by Acharyas of Ayurveda. Acharya Charaka has clearly stated that though these therapies are administered in a skillful manner; do at times fail to cure the diseases due to insufficient or excessive dosage or wrong time of administration. That means suitable therapy administered in appropriate manner certainly gives beneficial results. Before going to commence, one should have a clear-cut idea about the dosage and time required to perform all the Panchakarma therapeutic procedures in a systematic way. Keeping this in view an attempt has been made to set up standard guidelines for practicing Panchakarma in this book entitled ‘Practical Guide on Panchakarma’ in a comprehensive manner for the benefit of students and practitioners of Ayurveda.
