1. Has pancakarma been proven effective in spinal injuries specifically? How?

Panchakarma is the term used to describe the five-fold cleansing techniques

employed in Ayurveda. They are not the principal treatment techniques used to
manage spinal injuries. Spinal injuries are treated by other karmas which come
under the category of purva karmas. The acharyas of the kerala tradition which
also includes a branch of martial arts called kalari have also developed special
oils and special kinds of massages called (chavitti uzhichil) to treat such injuries
since they were quite common in fighting.
2. How does pancakarma work to bring balance to the body?
There are two types of treatments in Ayurveda odhana (cleansing the doas)
and amana (pacifying the doas). Panchakarma is a process of treatment that
works by cleansing the body of the ma toxins and the vitiated doas. There are
two ways in which panchakarma is utilized preventive and curative. Each of the
five methods have their own unique ways of working. Some of them are still
debatable.
a. Vamana (therapeutically induced vomiting) works by cleansing the body of
kapha doa
b. virecana (therapeutically induced purgation) works by cleansing the body
of kapha and pitta doa
c. vasti (therapeutic administration of medicated fluids into the colon) works
predominantly works by cleansing the body of vta doa while it can
cleanse kapha and pitta too.
d. Nasya works by cleansing the upper part of the body of all the
accumulated doas
e. Rakta mokaa (blood-letting) works by removing the vitiated blood from
the body thus removing all the doas accumulated in it.
3. Some people say that they become very emotional during pancakarma
treatment. Is there a medical reason for this?
This is because the cleansing is not restricted to the physical body alone.
Emotional cleansing also takes place during panchakarma. The mind and body
are always connected to each other influencing and getting influenced by
everything that happens to each other, according to the philosophy of Ayurveda.
4. How is the concept of healing in ayurveda different from healing in
allopathic treatments?
Ayurveda is an inside out process while allopathy is an outside in process. You
