Ayurveda is a holistic way of healing which deals with all kind of body disorders treating one at his emotional, mental, spiritual and physical level. Some people are allergic to gluten, a protein which is found in wheat related foods. Ayurveda aims at purifying the whole system by below mentioned panchakarma therapy.
Virechana – The pitta dominant diseases like Gluten allergy is cured by this process vitiatated pitta dosha is eliminated through the anus. Here the medicine like trivrileha and avipathy churna are given after ascertaining that the last meal has been digested and to be given after kaphakala. No food is to be given till virechana is over. About 20 purges might be expected.
Vamana – It induces the expulsion of the stomach contents through mouth. i.e., vitiated dosha is flushed out of the body by vomiting. Previous day the patient is made to undergo sneha sweda and next day after ablutions and a hot water bath he is administered with milk followed by a paste of madana phala, yashtimadhu powder, vacha, rock sat, honey mixed with milk. In short time the patient will vomit and all the impure accumulated doshas will come out. About 8 bouts are seen. This is followed by inhalation of the medicinal fumes.
Vasti (Enema) – Here medicinal substances like verbalized oils and decoctions in a liquid medium are introduced in to rectum thereby loosening and eliminating the vata dosha.
Thus Panchakarma helps to purify the tissues at a very deep level and it eliminates toxin left by disease. It also enhances the overall health of a person by bringing back the imbalance of aggravated doshas created by the gluten allergic symptoms.
