Panchakarma

Service Description

10 day ayurvedic detox program to purge and rejuvenate the body. Panchakarma is a method of cleansing the body of all the unwanted waste after lubricating it. Panchakarma are 5 (five) in number; hence the term PANCHA (five) – KARMA (procedures). Panchakarma treatment is unique in the sense that it includes preventive, curative and promotive actions for various diseases. Purvakarma: Pre-purification Measures Before the actual operation of purification begins, there is a need to prepare the body with prescribed methods to encourage it to let go of the toxins. These two procedures are snehan and svedana. Snehan is the oil massage. Oil is applied to the entire body with a particular type of massage that helps the toxins to move towards the gastrointestinal tract. Oil massage also makes the superficial and deep tissues soft and supple, thus helping to remove stress and nourish the nervous system. Snehan is given daily for three to seven days, as indicated. Svedana is sudation or sweating and is given every day immediately following the snehan. An herbal concoction may be added to the steam to further loosen the toxins from the individual. Svedana liquefies the toxins and increases the movement of toxins into the gastrointestinal tract. After three to seven days of snehan and svedana, the doshas become well “ripened.” A particular panchakarma method is then given according to the individual’s constitution and disorder, prakruti and vikruti, respectively. Five Basic Shodanas: Cleansing Methods Vamana: therapeutic vomiting or emesis Virechan: purgation Basti: enema Nasya: elimination of toxins through the nose Rakta Moksha: detoxification of the blood Benefits of Panchakarma Completely purifies the body Riddance of toxins Speeding up the metabolism Reducing weight Enhancing the strength of digestive fire Opening up of blocked channels Relaxing the mind and body Rejuvenation of tissues Boosts Immunity Relieves stress Panchakarma is a very special Ayurvedic operation requiring proper guidance from a highly trained and skillful Ayurvedic practitioner.
