Abstract

Panchkarma is the unique treatment modality of Ayurveda which is basically designed to purify the body and soul by detoxification of all the systems. The modern scientific system of medicine now acknowledges the role of free radicals as primary causative factors of diseases where etio-pathogenesis is not understandable and have acknowledged the positive impact of plant based flavonoids as their treatment. The Panchkarma therapy is a detoxification method of removing the free radicals from the body. Hence, we have tried to explain the mode/mechanism of each therapeutic modality.

Keywords: Panchkarma, Flavonoids, Free Radicals.
