    [abstract] => Background: Panchakarma, the quintessence of Ayurvedic purification therapy, is traditionally acclaimed for detoxification and physical rejuvenation. In recent years, its role in psychosocial health restoration and sustainable behavior change has attracted significant attention.
Objective: This review explores the holistic effects of Panchakarma on psychosocial health and its potential integration into wellness programs.
Methods: Classical Ayurvedic texts (Bṛhattrayī and Laghutrayī), contemporary Ayurvedic commentaries, and modern clinical research indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and AYUSH Research Portal were reviewed. Emphasis was placed on outcomes related to emotional regulation, stress reduction, cognitive enhancement, and lifestyle modification.
Results: Panchakarma therapies—Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana—demonstrated multidimensional psychosocial effects. Vamana provided catharsis and emotional release; Virechana reduced anger and emotional volatility; Basti alleviated anxiety and enhanced resilience; Nasya improved focus and cognition; and Raktamokshana reduced irritability and promoted calmness. Modern studies suggest mechanisms such as gut–brain axis modulation, neuroendocrine balance, and anti-inflammatory effects that underpin these psychosocial benefits.
Conclusion: Panchakarma offers a comprehensive model of psychosocial health and sustainable lifestyle modification. Integrating Panchakarma into wellness programs bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern lifestyle medicine, providing a viable framework for long-term mental and social well-being.
