| The waste products carry impurities that are harmful for the body. Hence, regular formation and elimination of wastes is essential to maintain equilibrium in the body physiology and preserve health. Seasonal purification therapies (ritu shodhana) through panchakarma are recommended to remove micro cellular toxins and wastes. Apart from these preventive [[panchakarma]] procedures, the daily regimen like collyrium(anjana), smoking (dhoomapana), mouth wash (gandusha/kavala), oil filling in ear (karna poorana) etc. are beneficial to remove the excessive accumulation of waste products in the orifices of body. This leads to preservation of health of the respective senses .[Cha. Sa. Sutra Sthana 5] | | The waste products carry impurities that are harmful for the body.
