Panchakarma Detox Program

Ayurveda's Secret Fountain of Youth

What is Panchakarma

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s most comprehensive and holistic professional detox and rejuvenation program for the body and mind – the crown jewel of Ayurvedic healing methods.

It is a 2 week healing program designed and supervised by professional Ayurveda doctors and delivered by expert therapists.

It combines natural herbal massages and therapies with detoxifying herbs, supplements, and a special diet plan to promote one’s holistic wellbeing.

‘Pancha’ in Sanskrit means five and ‘karma’ means action or therapy, referring to the five therapies utilized in the program to rid the body of harmful toxins.

Goals of Panchakarma

Panchakarma is considered an annual periodic maintenance or ‘overhaul’ for the human body and mind to address all health issues, lubricate joints, replenish body fluids, and balance inner energies while cleansing the body from the inside out (literally!).

Main goals include:

Breakdown, liquefy and expel harmful toxins accumulated over the years from the body
Address current physical, mental, and emotional discomforts and ailments
Provide essential nourishment to your body’s vital tissues

Panchakarma Program Duration

Panchakarma takes a minimum of 2 weeks (14 days) of therapy to breakdown toxins and eject them from body.

Your body and the natural balancing of its inner energies and workings take time, and 14 days is the minimum required for an effective Panchakarma program with lasting results.

The more time you give, the more toxins we can breakdown and remove, the more inner balancing we can do, the more weight we can reduce… hence we usually advise more advanced or complicated health issues to go for 3 weeks or more of Panchakarma.
