It is indeed an effort to compile all the relevant intellectual inputs on a significantly vital
area and render them in such a free flowing manner, so that it is easy to understand, decipher
and assimilate by the learner, teacher a professional and otherwise a reader, as well.
This has been singularly achieved by the authors by virtue of their writings which are in
easy textual format and are appropriately lineated, so as to render the desired grasp and sought
after understanding of the subject in a handy but yet in an immaculate manner, which turns out
to be the unique feature of this authorship, which makes it look and feel different from the other
available reading material on the subject as of now.
The authors have brought out the Standard Operating Procedure including all the
techniques and methodology for practices of Panchakarma for all the institutions and
Panchkarma Clinical practical in accordance with the guidelines of NABH in a very deserving,
appropriate, chronological, free flowing, griping and lucid manner.
As a matter of fact, the extent of coverage worked out by the authors is indeed very vast
but has been so well capsulated that it makes it poignantly a very interesting reading and
learning material, as well. The contents being commensurate with the prescribed syllabi for the
subject by the various teaching and affiliating health sciences universities are bound to be of

I am sure that this elegant piece of creative literature embodied in the book format by
the authors will make every user feel that he could avail all that he desired, needed and expected
out of it. I have no hesitation in putting on record my appreciation for the effort undertaken by
the authors in terms of a loud statement that they have generated a 'satiety centre' for quenching
the 'inquisitional thirst' in the domain of Panchakarma.
I am not only sure but quite confident that this book would prove itself to be a
'benchmark' in respect of its utility to all concerned and also go a long way in shaping and
guiding the learners in times to come.
I record my greatest sense of admiration and appreciation for the learned duo for their
painstaking effort in bringing out this epitome of creativity, which is boldly capable of
narrating all about Panchakarma in all its faces, facets, contours, connotations, niceties
including nuances as well.

10. Technoayurveda's Practical SOP Panchakarma
Unexpected entry in Ayurveda in
1977 at Hyderabad brought me to this stage
of knowing the traditions and its values. The
Ayurveda not only provided food for me and
my family it has given a lot inexplicable
knowledge. The schools of thoughts are
more valued in our system and I am proud to
be stated as the successor of Dr VVS Sastri
who is famous for his works on Tridosha
Theory and direct disciple of Dr
Dwarakanath.
Author's Message
KSR Prasad
Ayurmitra, Nadi Bhishak, Jyotisha Vaidya
As the entry in to the academics made in 1996, the study methods and Panchakarma
practices were disappointing to me. When I leap in to PG Curriculum of Kayachikitsa and
Research avenues, I found where exactly we are lacking. From that day in many scholarly
gatherings even though I keep my voice there was no response as people are interested in only
outcomes but not at the level of understanding the Ayurveda. It is funny always; the rules are
made but not followed. From 2008, I am extending help and Free Service to the researchers of
Ayurveda and PG scholars on the name of Technoayurveda. Even though the responses got are
limited but satisfactory. I know to myself that the ideology what I am expressing takes another
10 years to implement inAyurvedic community.
The methodical Panchakarma practiced is depended upon dialects of provinces and the
practice gets the colloquial instead of authentication. Many provincial observations are made
across India and wonder how the small idea of an individual is enormously dramatically alter
the result of the process. But the idea is armature and needs refining at the dictums ofAyurveda.
This made me to bring a common Panchakarma practice book useful for the students, teachers
and also practitioners where the data recording and analysis is possible on common platforms.
The plotting of theTechnoayurveda's SOPPanchakarma was done in the year 2000; the
idea was fruitful when the NABH norms become mandatory to all. The support given by Shree
11. Technoayurveda's Practical SOP Panchakarma
Dattaji Meghe to establish and run the Panchakarma as I feel to do is remarkable. I am
dedicating this work to him as gratitude. The constant support given by Shree Abhyudayji
Meghe in establishment of units and Shree Sagarji Meghe for all round support is best of its
kind to any level.
I know this work is helpful for the students and who wish to make a new establishment
of Panchakarma with standards or the best in research activity. May my approach will boost
the energy for readers and awake the dormant community to their destiny of Ayurveda
Panchakarma Practice.
This is first publication ofTechnoayurveda and promise to the community for bringing
the evidence based scientificAyurveda literature on this platform for community benefit. I am
happy with the work contribution of

18. “Ayurveda the way of living” begin from the day of great flood, when the lands are
appeared together and the species on the earth started flourishing. The legend of Manu (a
human) in impending catastrophic flood first appears in (Sanskrit the
language of Gods) (700300 BCE), and is further detailed in (250500 CE).
Manu [1] collects and preserves all the grains, Herbs and living creatures of the world in a boat.
When the flood destroys the world, Manu accompanied by the seven great sages survives by
boarding the ark and initiates the life on planet Earth. Such flood myth (Bible - Genesis 6:9-
9:17) originated in Mesopotamia in Akkadian (the language of Babylon) is dating from about
1600 BCE [2]. Here Noah, a righteous man instructed by God to build an ark in which he, his
sons, and their wives, together with male and female of all living creatures, would be saved
from the waters. The flood lasted (40 days according to Genesis 7:17, 150 according to 7:24)
long and the ark rested on Ararat. Even the Islam [3] supports the story of great flood. It
happens long ago as many as 70 million years ago when the Gondwana Land came out after the
flood. Later present Indian continent is separated as an island on the name of 'Jambudhweepa'.
Rich vegetation made human to explore the uses of it and Ayurveda flourished naturally with
natural available mechanism.
It is evidential from the daily prayers, time line spell out of Indian community as
Vaivaswata manvantare etc.TheVaivaswata is 71 generation from Manu. Each Manvantara is
with 71 Chaturyugas i.e. 1 life span of Manu. 1 human year (in Hindu calendar) = 1 Deva
Ahoratra for God (1 day and 1 night) and such 360 Deva Ahoratras = 1 Deva Vatsara. The
12,000 Deva Vatsara becomes 1 Chaturyuga (4320000 years). 12,000 Deva Vatsaras are
defined as, 4,800 Deva Vatsaras of satya yuga, 3,600 Deva Vatsaras of TretaYuga, 2,400 Deva
Vatsaras of Dvapara Yuga and 1,200 Deva Vatsaras of Kali Yuga (which is 1,200 * 360 =
432,000 human years); summing up to 12000 [4]. The actual duration of a Manvantara,
according to the Vishnu Purana is seventy one times the number of years contained in the f
Shatapatha Brahmana
Matsya Purana
st
our
Yugas, with some additional years, adding up to 852,000 divine years, or 306,720,000 human
years. According to Vedas, there are 504 000 Manus manifested during the lifetime of one

20. Patient Care 1.2
Patient is a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment. Ayurveda
defines the patient as first of four components called as 'Chikitsa Chatushpada', which forms
the accomplishment of therapeutics. The four mainstay of therapeutics are - Patient (Rogi),
Physician (Bhishak), Medicine (Aushadha) andAttendant (Upastata) [1].The qualities of each
are enumerated well to make assessment. As like the student centered education (SCE) in
health education system, the patient centered therapeutics (PCT) is evolved in healthcare
system.
The qualities of patient is affirmed well in Charaka Samhita [2] as
Sushruta [3] added few more qualities to the patients for his surgical interventions
applicable as

Smruti recollection; Patient should have a good memory of recollecting the
sequence of disease manifestation in terms of signs and symptoms.
Nirdesha karitwam (Charaka) - Vaidya vakyastha (Sushruta) Bhishakvasya
(Vagbhata) following instructions; Patient is expected to follow the instructions
given by the physician, if not the expected relief is not possible.
Abheerutwam fearless; many times patients impose self restrictions or may be
submissive to the kith and kin ideology and there by fearful about the treatments.
Such fear should not be and trust should be expressed towards the physician and
the management.
Jnapaktwam (Charaka - Vagbhata) memory; for following instructions of
physician one should have good memory. Not only to follow the instructions even
at the time of treatment one may be subjected with either action or adversity of
medication, so, even such incidents without forgetfulness should be reported and
recorded.
Ayushman Healthy signs; for any treatment to undergo we need to observe the
complications and signs of recovery. As Sushruta is surgical in practice, he
observes the patients fitness forsurgery and recovery.

Satwavan (Sushruta - Vagbhata) strong; strong is in terms of physical fitness.
The physical fitness is required for various procedures to adopt and psychological
fitness is also required in the same manner. For example a patient is indicated for
Vamana Karma, but the patient is with no physical fitness may lead to
complications.
Atmavan strong by mind; psychological fitness is also important as like
physical fitness. For example a patient is indicated for Vamana Karma, but the
patient is with no psychological anchoring to accept the management may lead to
complications.
Astikyo religious;Ayurveda has given importance to the individual beliefs and
its regulations. Usually God (almighty) acceptance offers regularities imposed as
they believe Heaven and Hell.
Sadhyo Dravyavan Adhyo-rogi (Vagbhata) [4] money makes many things.
Both Sushruta and Vagbhata brought this point out as acquiring the necessary
medicines orthe money required forit is very much essential.

22. NABH Indicator Reporting 1.3
Regular clinical audits are required for validating the NABH indicators through
collective reporting. Few items are validated continuously and few are at quarterly and half
yearly. All the key performance indicators are reported and discussed for any vulnerable,
adverse or sentinel events and are noted for rectification with preventable measures brought
out.
Establish baseline information and working standards as standard protocols in the
department of Panchakarma. All procedure benchmark performances are well identified
against national and international standards. Clinical quality, evidence based practices,
analysis of procedure outputs in valid parameters, resource utilization, instruments downtime,
etc., are needed to report, analyze and taken probable actions in response.
To prepare the reporting we have to start with the scheduling of the patient and
fulfilling the patient procedural needs for next day. The Male and Female patient procedure
requirements to place in different charts and displayed on the Panchakarma procedural area
notice board and copy is supplied to corresponding wards (Schedule-1). The patients may
require Vasti or Patrapinda sweda, etc., in such time the therapist are scheduled to prepare
either Kwatha or Pottali according to the need. Thus the kitchen duty schedules with
requirements are placed to prepare the necessary material well in before (Schedule-2). It needs
the following schedulers.

Panchakarma Theater
1.4
Panchakarma as it is of with five major (Vamana, Virechana, Vasti, etc) and many
minor procedures of purification of the body either through elimination (Shodhana) or
pacification (shaman) of Dosha do require a special place and instrumentation in a good
infrastructure for the procedures. Thus the setting of the Panchakarma Theater is necessary
well before initiation of the procedures.
Even though CCIM, the governing body of the Ayurveda has given minimum
specifications of establishment to run a well organized Panchakarma theater we require to set
the best for the convenience and satisfaction of the patient. A Panchakarma theater require a
minimum of Droni (8 x 3 feet), Swedana box (4 x 4 feet), a table for heating equipment and
other medicines to place (3 x 4 feet) and working place around the Droni.The room is attached
with changing area (5 x 4 feet) and attached western commode shower room (5 x 4 feet). This
completes the minimum requirement of infrastructure for one Panchakarma theater. Thus the
room specifications will go as 12 x 12.5 feet (adjustable to 12 x 15 feet) with 6 x 5 changing
room and 6 x 5WC, in total 240 square feet area.
Most of the institutions run central kitchen but practically it is very inconvenient.Any
major preparations even though undertaken in central kitchen the fire connections with Gas are
problematic. Thus using Gas connection for central kitchen and electric stove for room is a
better option.To avoid transporting hurdles from kitchen a four room connected kitchen model
is opt for the situation. The model diagram is shown as Fig-1 with dimensions. The proposed
four room Panchakarma unit undertakes 1) Abhyanga, Pindasweda, Nasya and Local Vasti
like Januvasti, Kativasti, etc. 2) Vamana, Virechana and Vasti Karma, 3) Sarvanga Dhara,
Shirodhara, Shirovasti Shastikashali Pindasweda, etc and 4) Agnikarma, Jaluka,
Raktamokshana, etc, with a central kitchen 18 x 15 feet. For these procedures to perform we
require a minimum equipment in individual room is as under.

Panchakarma Kitchen
Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana
1.5
Panchakarma kitchen not only provides materials for Panchakarma procedures but
also the for patients. Under the specifications discussed earlier, the kitchen provides Kashaya
Kalpana,Takra Kalpana, Rice varieties, Patra pinda varieties, etc.
There are mainly five types of Kashaya kalpana preparations inAyurveda, collectively
known as Pancha Kashaya Kalpana.
Svarasa - The juice of the plant, which is the strongest of all, is extracted by pounding
or grinding it in a blender.
Kalka - The herbs are crushed and made into a pulp form in the required consistency
by adding sufficient water.
Kwatha - It is prepared by boiling the herbs in water until the preparation is reduced to
one-fourth of the original amount.
Phanta - Hot infusion is obtained by immersing the herbs in hot water for some time.
Hima -The herbs are soaked in cold water overnight for preparing a cold infusion.
Swarasa is juice of wet drug pondered and crushed from it. It is having Guru guna
(heaviness as quality), thus consumed in small quantity.The usage of Swarasa in Panchakarma
unit is very less. Fresh green leaves of bulk in nature gives good quantity of juice but few
leaves or stems may not. Such drugs are socked in water for 24 hours to get the juice out of it.
Sprinkling little water is acceptable in the process. The wet grinder can be used for grinding
and getting the Swarasa.
There is another method of getting Swarasa from dry herbs. The drugs are crushed and
placed one day in double quantity of water. The next day the filtered water is collected as
Swarasa.

parts of milk and water is taken. At the end only milk quantity is remained for sheera dhara.
Usually 1500ml of milk is required for Shirodhara and 3000ml for Sarvanga Dhara.

Pancha Pathya Kalpana
Concept and Terminology:
After the Panchakarma (Vamana, Virechana and Vasti), the diet restrictions are
imposed to patient as the Annavaha srotas and stomach is sensitive. The dietetics of
Panchakarma is called as 'Sansarjana Krama'. In the process of Sansarjana Krama, different
consistency food materials are supplied according toAnnakala. Usually this diet is prescribed
at the completion of the procedure as post procedural measures even when the procedure is
inadequate. The Pancha Pathya Kalpana are given to the recovering patients, as a post
procedural diet program and aged who can't digest heavy food. It consists of nutritive and
instant energy providers as easily digestible preparations of rice and helps in fast recovery.The
diet is structured in stages, going from more liquid to solid preparations in increasing order.
The diet consists of old Lohita (Rakta) Shali Tandula, which is a mostly easily
digestible carbohydrate. The consistency of the food is brought with the quantity of the water
added while cooking. The process is followed for 3 to 7 days according to the need of the
patient. Daily two servings of diet is made in the noon and evening. No breakfast or snacks are
served in between. The quantity of serving is based upon the 'Agni bala' i.e. digestive capacity
of patient.Addition of condiments, unctuous substances or meat / meat soups are according to
the dietitian advises. The permitted vegetables (Pathya) are added to the diet accordingly. The
different foods served are Peya, Vilepi, Yusha, Rasa and Odana (Charaka Sutra 15/21-24).
These preparations relieve constant thirst and tiredness.
Rice has unique nutritional value and contains very low amount of saturated fats and
cholesterol making it a healthful food for heart. Rice is a good source of fiber and has minerals
such as calcium and iron, vitamins, such as niacin, vitamin D, thiamine and riboflavin and
therefore, improves digestion. Rice softens the channels and balances the normalcy of all
body parts and makes an increase in body energy and also act as Diuretics. Rice is good during
illness or recovery of digestion as it is very light and easy to digest. Rice improves appetite and
also digestive power. It helps in Vata (flatus) and Mala (feces) to move downwards and
relieves constipation.

Technoayurveda's Practical SOP Panchakarma
Concept and Terminology
Variations:
:
Vasti commonly referred as enema but the functionality differs. Vasti is medicines that
are administered through rectal route for Dosha elimination and /or for disease pacification.
Thus it is half the way putative (Ardha Shodhana) and the other half is treatment (Ardha
Chikitsa). The liquids used in Vasti are Kashaya (water soluble active principles), Taila (fat
soluble active principles), Ksheera (Lacto soluble active principles), Mamsarasa (meat soup),
etc. Added with Saindhava Lavana (to balance electrolytes), Madhu (honey fructose &
Glucose to give strength and amalgamate the oil in the presence of salt), Kalka (paste of
Pachana drug or diseases pacification medicine), and sometimes even the prepared medicines
such as Shankha basma, Pravala Bhasma, Vata vidhwansini Ras, etc. Materials used in Vasti
are wide in range and eight types of urines, six types of Rasa skandha Dravya, Lavana, etc.Are
used inVasti.
To induce Vasti, a special pouch made of animal bladder or polythene bag is used
attaching the specified dimension made Vasti Netra (nozzle). Enema can is also used but not to
gets the sufficient pressure to reach the medicine at high rectal area.
The Vasti is classified basically as Niruha (decoction) andAnuvasna (oil) Vasti. Depends upon
the area where the medicine is inserted Pakwashayagata (Rectal), Vrana (ulcer) Vasti are
practiced. The other two Mutrashayagata (urinary bladder) and Garbhashaya (uterine) Vasti
are termed as Uttaravasti. The action based Vasti classification is as Shodhana (eliniation),
Shamana (pacification), Lekhana (scraping), Brumhana (nourishing), Vajikara (aphrodisiac),
Vandhyatwahara (infertility management), etc. On the other hand the based on number Yoga
(8), Kaala (15) and Karma (30)Vasti are given. Even on the basis of quantity the MatraVasti are
designed. Many other types of Vasti are available to practice are Yapana Vasti, Siddha Vasti,
PrasrutayogikiVasti, Picchavasti, RaktaVasti,VrushyaVasti,VaitaranaVasti, etc.
This is otherwise called as Niruhavasti in which Kashaya is the main
ingredient and given 600 to 1440 ml mixing in combination of Sandhava, Madhu, Taila,
