@article{Deepika Das_Sasmita Tripathy_Jagadish Mishra_2023, title={Conceptual study of Shatkarma for Prevention of Disease}, volume={8}, url={https://jaims.in/jaims/article/view/2224}, abstractNote={<p>The <em>Yoga</em> recommended various preventive methods, like as <em>Shatkarma</em>, 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 <em>Shatkarma</em> can be used in our regular practice. <em>Shatkarma</em> 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 <em>Doshas</em> in the body - <em>Kapha</em> (mucus), <em>Pitta</em> (bile), and <em>Vata </em>(wind) are balanced by the <em>Shatkarma</em> (wind). Regular <em>Shatkarma</em> practice aids in the body’s purification. People who are overweight or have extra <em>Shlesma</em> and <em>Medas</em> should engage in <em>Shatkarma</em>. 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 <em>Asana</em>, <em>Pranayama</em>, and meditation.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Deepika Das and Sasmita Tripathy and Jagadish Mishra}, year={2023}, month={Feb.}, pages={81 - 84} }
