Abstract

Ayurveda is a science in which the treatment is chiefly divided into two forms namely; Shaman chikitsa and Shodhan chikitsa. In shaman chikitsa we control and manage dosha in body itself which includes Deepan, Pachan etc. and in Shodhan chikitsa is mainly for cleansing the body toxins i.e. cleansing the prakopit doshas which mainly included Panchkarma therapy. Ayurveda considered that the purification of body is important before the commencement of any other therapy. If we think about panchkarma procedure in pediatric practice it is equally effective as they are in adult patient.
