Abstract

Bal Panchakarma, a specialized branch of Ayurvedic pediatric purification therapy, emphasizes gentle detoxification and strengthening of Agni and Dhatus in children without disturbing their natural growth. In contrast, modern pediatric detoxification and immunomodulatory therapies focus on removing metabolic toxins, supporting immune homeostasis, and preventing chronic diseases. This article explores the physiological, biochemical, and immunological correlations between Bal Panchakarma and modern pediatric detoxification, highlighting the scientific rationale behind classical Ayurvedic interventions such as Abhyanga, Swedana, Mridu Virechana, and Nasya. It also presents evidence-based understanding of how these therapies modulate immunity, metabolism, and detoxification at a molecular level.
