Program

Panchakarma is the ultimate mind-body healing experience, not only for detoxifying the body but also for strengthening the immune system and restoring balance and well-being.

The word "Panchakarma" means "five therapeutic measures" in Sanskrit. The stages of panchakarma's are:

• Vamana: Induced vomiting to cleanse Kapha dosha.
• Virechana: Purgation to cleanse Pitta dosha and detoxify.
• Vasti: Herbal enemas for cleansing toxins from all three doshas.
• Nasya: Nasal administration of herbal remedies for head and neck ailments.
• Raktamoksha: Bloodletting to balance Pitta dosha and remove vitiated blood.

Program Overview

Panchakarma consists of advanced treatments designed to cleanse the body of vitiated doshas (life energy). It not only detoxifies the body but also rejuvenates the mind, strengthens the immune system, and addresses the root causes of imbalance.
This holistic treatment promotes detoxification and rejuvenation, offering a profound opportunity to cleanse the body, boost the immune system, and restore overall harmony.

Panchakarma is a customized therapy — not all treatments are suitable for everyone. Each therapy is recommended only after a detailed condition check-up and consultation by our doctors. This ensures that your treatment is safe, effective, and truly personalized to your health needs.

Stages of Panchakarma

1. Stages of Panchakarma

Preparatory procedures dislodge toxins from various parts of the body and bring them into the GI tract. This includes:

• Pachana: Enhancing digestion with oral medications.
• Snehana: Oleation therapy using medicated oils or ghee.
• Swedana: Sudation therapy to liquefy toxins, including therapies like Pizhichil and Ela Kizhi.

2. Pradhanakarma – Cleansing Period

The main detox procedure, tailored to the patient’s strength and dosha imbalance, involves one or more of the five treatments.

3. Paschatkarma – Post-Cleansing Period

The body is gradually restored to a balanced state with specific diets and medicines. This step stabilizes the doshas and ensures long-term benefits.

Program Benefits

• Removes toxins and restores cellular vitality.
• Enhances metabolism, energy, and immune function.
• Improves sleep quality, concentration, and mental clarity.
• Addresses chronic ailments and promotes rejuvenation.

Panchakarma reconnects the individual to their true nature, often obscured by stress and toxins. It deeply balances the nervous system and fosters a sense of centeredness and transformation.
