The aim of Panchakarma Therapies is to purify and detoxify the body. It is done for both - Unhealthy person and Healthy person.

Ayurveda is more than a mere healing system, it is a science and art of appropriate living which helps achieve longevity.

Similarly the body needs to be purified before it can be imparted new colours of youthfulness, Health and vigor etc.
