Abstract	Panchakarma, a quintessence of Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation, has evolved distinct regional variations while retaining its classical foundation. Among these, the Northern Indian and Kerala traditions of Panchakarma represent two prominent streams with unique therapeutic emphases. This paper aims to critically compare the philosophies, techniques, and applications of Northern Panchakarma and Kerala Panchakarma, highlighting both their commonalities and divergences. The review also addresses the implications of these differences for clinical practice, patient outcomes, and global Ayurvedic dissemination.
