Honoring India’s ancient Vedic cleansing practice of healing, Panchakarma is a journey of discovery, balancing and awakening of your energies and senses.
Panchakarma, meaning “5 actions” is a set of five cleansing, detoxifying treatments that balances excess doshas and rejuvenates the whole body.
The five actions of Panchakarma are Abhyanga (oil massages done as preparatory treatments), Inner Oiling (done through the ingestion of ghee to lubricate the body and prepare it for the following actions), Virechana (purgation), Vasti (enema treatment with herbal oils of decoctions) and Nasya (nasal passage lubrication). It is preceded by a preparatory process called Poorvakarma. At this stage the body is prepared for removing “toxins” first through Snehanam which make the body oily internally and externally, and second through Swedanam which means therapeutic sweating.
A Panchakarma can be offered for one to seven days. Each client will receive a Dosha consultation & Astrology reading to help find their constitution known as Prakrit. Then by studying each clients Dosha patterns we can find areas of imbalance. Then a treatment plan will be created with Ayurvedic lymphatic massage & other modalities like sauna. Food & supplements will be provided. Each session per day is between 4-5 hours. Then rest and restore at home or at an air b or hotel.
