Panchakarma / Detox therapy under medical supervision

 

Panchakarma is Ayurveda's primary purification and detoxification treatment.

The 5 therapeutic means of eliminating toxins from the body are:

 

  • Vamana (emesis through herbs)
  • Virechana (purgation through herbs)
  • Nasya (nasal administration of oils)
  • Basti (medicated enemas)
  • Raktamokshana (Blood letting).
  •  

    Ayurveda emphasizes periodic cleansing, generally at every change of season, as a way to restore balance to mind and body. Although the body has an effective system for filtration of impurities, toxins can sometimes build up too rapidly for the body to cope. Also, after the age of forty, the body's ability to purify itself becomes weaker.

    How you detoxify is very important. Fasting and harsh cleansing can aggravate the body and cause problems. Ayurvedic therapeutic cleansing performed under the active personal care of an Ayurvedic physician, these luxurious treatments extend over a period of several days and are designed to flush out toxins from the body and nourish and balance the system, leaving you feeling rejuvenated, renewed.
