Phase 1: Is to prepare the body for purification. So why do we have to prepare the body for purification?

Because the toxins are situated in the different parts of the body or deep inside the tissues, so with those treatments like Abyangam and Kizhi (oiletaion and fomentation) the toxins

which are situated in different parts of the body will move to the stomach and then with appropriate orifices, the toxins removed.

Phase 2: The next six days are considered asase 2, In this period mostly the client may get Kayasekam and Siro dhara, this kind of treatment is also usually to bring the toxins out of the body or in some cases it will act as the main treatment to digest the toxins within the body itself.

Phase 3: The next three days are considered asase 3, in this period after cleansing the body we have to rejuvenate the body with different treatments like Shastika panda sweda and all.

Last day of Treatment: The main Panchakarma therapy will be done, which depends on the dosha or depends on the condition of the body.
