Pancha Bhoota Healing

with the 5 Elements

Bhoota or 5 element healing is a very effective, natural, holistic alternative medicine or alternative therapy for all diseases.

How is this 5 element healing or Pancha Bhoota different from all other alternative therapies?

1. The objective of this approach is to strengthen the body's own immunity to heal diseases. The methodology is oriented towards both body and mind.

2. Some of the other therapies claim that by using certain herbs diseases will be healed. While some others claim that by doing meditation or yoga alone disease can be overcome. Still others say that the detoxification procedure can make the body healthy.

Pancha Bhoota says no one aspect is fully effective; but when all these approaches are combined, healing becomes complete. The five components of Pancha Bhoota not only detoxify the body, but also purify the mind and bring about integration of the body and mind, the critical step in healing.

Why Five Steps?

There are three types of toxins that build up in the system that causes diseases

1. Water soluble toxins

2. Fat soluble toxins

3. Toxins of the mind

The first two act at the body level and the third one at the mind level, which we shall discuss later. The two body toxins should be cleansed out of the body on a daily basis like cleaning our house, car or clothes. Due to our ignorant lifestyle, however, we accumulate these toxins in different parts of the body, which finally leads to different diseases.

Getting rid of these toxins is the only effective way of treating any disease. Through the integrated and effective approach of Pancha Bhoota healing we help you to get rid of these toxins not only to get rid of diseases but also for future prevention.

Read the first step to remove water soluble toxins.

The end products of various metabolic reactions become toxic to the body and are mostly water soluble. Every night we undergo a fasting period (no food or drink is consumed) , until the next day when we break the fast with "breakfast".

During this fasting period, thirty trillion cells in the human body spit out toxic metabolic wastes into our bloodstream. Water Therapy means drinking water first thing in the morning, to the fullest capacity of our stomach. The capacity of our stomach is 1.5 liters (0.396 gallons, 1.58 quarts, 3.2 pints ,or 6.3 cups).
Drinking this much water all at once cleanses the stomach and intestines, the blood and all organs, rejuvenating them, removing all water soluble toxins from them in the form of urine. It is interesting to note that many diseases have been healed just by removing the water soluble toxins from our body.

However, by removing water soluble toxins alone we cannot clear all diseases. Fat soluble toxins might be needed to be removed to bring about complete healing.

If you want to clean a cloth, rinsing it in water alone will not help. Because, with water only water soluble toxins will be removed. Fat soluble toxins or greasy toxins must be removed with soap.

Our body similarly removes fat soluble toxins through a soap it manufactures called bile. Bile has two functions, one of which is to emulsify the fats and make it easy for digestion. The liver detoxifies all the toxins that enter the body. It converts chemicals into water soluble chemicals so that the kidneys can throw these out of the body through urine. This is where water therapy helps the liver and kidneys to do their jobs more effectively.

Some times the liver may not be able to convert a chemical completely into water soluble form. The liver produces a body soap called bile. The fat soluble toxins easily gets dissolved in the bile and flows through the gall bladder into the small intestines. In the intestine the bile is re-absorbed, while the toxins get mixed with fiber in the food and get excreted.

However due to our wrong life style of eating refined foods that are less in fiber, makes the toxins also to be re-absorbed into the body again. Over time the toxins builds up in different parts of the body and damages the genes of the cells and other components of the cells causing various diseases.

Therefore the next important step is to get rid of the fat soluble toxins in the body.

1. We recommend to eat more of fiber rich food. The more we eat fiber rich food our system gets cleansed of the toxins.

2. To get rid of the toxins faster we recommend the patients to do castor oil cleansing or herbal cleansing with a very ancient herb "kadukka", depending upon the condition of the patient.

To completely get rid of the water soluble and fat soluble toxins from the body, there should be good circulation of heat throughout the body. This heat is the Fire element. Heat is circulated through blood and lymph, the circulatory system and the lymphatic system. However this involves the aspect of mind because, the Mind is the seat of action or motion and there should be the co-ordination of the mind and the body. This is the purpose of Yoga which means to unite.

We suggest simple Yoga exercises which improves blood, lymphatic and air circulation in the body helping in complete detoxification process.

Unfortunately to bring about co-ordination of the mind and body at present, the mind is not available. The nature of the mind is to wander and never present in the present (now). The mind is either brooding over the past or anxious of the future.

This fast wandering mind like the air is brought to the present and made available to heal the body through Air therapy. Pranayama is suggested as part of Air therapy, where breathing is done with full awareness. Mind always follows breath (Air) because without it it cannot function. Without food and water, mind can survive but not without Air. Taking this intelligent aspect into consideration we pull the wandering mind and allow it to transcend to the state of Awareness. This state of Awareness is the "Source" of all potentialities, including healing.

The mind wanders away from the Awareness to the outside through the five senses of the body. This is because of the toxin of the mind called Ego. The Ego drives the mind to seek out and not to the inner core of our being, the real "Self".

This is accomplished by the most subtle Element, the Space through Relaxation and Meditation. Through this we watch our thoughts and clearly distinct it from the Ego. This detoxifying the mind from the Ego is in fact the very purpose of Life.

For healing we thus combine holistically the five elements to make the whole process highly effective and complete. Completeness or fullness is the very nature of our "Being".
