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 balance excess doshas and rejuvenate 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 or 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 makes the body oily internally and externally, and second through Swedanam, which means therapeutic sweating.
In these times, the toxic load can be overwhelming. There are a number of autoimmune disorders that can settle in from an over-toxic body & mind. This cleansing therapy is a gentle way to release blockages so your body can find its way back into balance.
A Panchakarma can be offered for one to seven days, and daily sessions are between 4 - 5 hours. Each client will receive a Dosha consultation & Astrology reading to help find their constitution, known as Prakrit. Then, by studying each client's 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.
