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.

beautiful returns such as-
