Panchakarma procedures include Vamana (induced therapeutic emesis), Virechana (induced therapeutic purgation), Niruha Vasti (medicated decoction enema), Anuvasana Vasti(medicated oil/ghee enema) and Nasya (administration of medicines through nostrils). These are also the five detoxifying procedures.
Vamana, Virechana and Vasti are considered as best for the Kapha, Pitta and Vata doshas respectively. Nasya is best for the diseases of head and neck.
