Conceptual study of Shatkarma for Prevention of Disease

Abstract

The Yoga recommended various preventive methods, like as Shatkarma, in addition to emphasizing curative techniques to health care. In order to make progress along the spiritual path that is safe and fruitful, it helps to cleanse the body of pollutants. In this essay, we've tried to shed some light on how Shatkarma can be used in our regular practice. Shatkarma can be practiced for a better quality of life not only by those who are ill but also by those who are in good health. It is essential for both the treatment and prevention of many disorders. The three humors or Doshas in the body - Kapha (mucus), Pitta (bile), and Vata (wind) are balanced by the Shatkarma (wind). Regular Shatkarma practice aids in the body's purification. People who are overweight or have extra Shlesma and Medas should engage in Shatkarma. The goal of such cleansing procedures, according to yogic science, is to make the body pure so that it can support higher forms of practice like Asana, Pranayama, and meditation.
