In Ayurveda detoxification is done mainly by panchakarma. Panchakarma (five types of detoxification procedures):
Panchakarma constitutes pancha (five) karmas (actions) for purifying the body and mind. However, in its application, panchakarma is not just the use of all of these methods alone. It also includes a set of purvakarmas which prepares the body to remove the toxins and paschatkarma which makes sure that the person regains the digestive agni (fire) and a thorough rejuvenation of the body is achieved.

The five procedures of panchakarma are: Vamana, Virechana, Vasti, Nasya and Raktamoksha. Vamana is therapeutic vomiting or emesis; Virechana is a purgation therapy with herbal laxatives; Vasti is the term used for therapeutic enema with Ayurvedic preparations; Nasya refers to the nasal administration of Ayurvedic preparations and the cleansing procedure through nose and Raktamoksha refers to the removal of doshas from blood with blood-letting. The kind of panchakarma advised depends on the physiological condition of the person. Normally not all of the five procedures are used to remove the toxins.
