These processes are facilitated by a preliminary period (usually at least one week) of daily oil massage (snehana) and steam therapies (svedana), which serves to draw the doshas from the tissues and organs in which they are lodged, into the blood and plasma and back to their sites of accumulation for their eventual elimination from the body.20

As long as the doshas are present in the body, rejuvenation is obstructed. However, many of the same results as Pancha Karma can be achieved through long-term diet, herbal and life-style procedures to eliminate the doshas. Such practices can also support the benefits of Pancha Karma.

Spicy herbs like Trikatu, dry ginger, black pepper, pippali, mustard, cayenne, garlic, cinnamon and cardamom, strong pranayama and vigorous exercise for reducing Kapha.

Bitter and blood-cleansing herbs like aloe, gentian, barberry, coriander and turmeric for reducing Pitta.

Mild laxatives like Triphala and carminatives like cumin, asafoetida or basil for reducing Vata.
