The Digestive Therapy (Pachana), digests and liquefies
toxins in various tissues and channels of the body. This
is accomplished by increasing the digestive fire of the
body by means of ingesting specific herbs. The herbs are
generally pungent and bitter in taste and hot in potency.
They increase the internal heat of the body, stimulate
the metabolism, activate the digestive enzymes, increase
the peristalsis and improve the circulation. Many of these
herbs have anti-parasitic or antibacterial properties
and some even enhance the immune system.
The herbs used for this therapy are generally in the
form of powders, pastes or decoctions.
