About Panchakarma treatment program
Panchakarma is a treatment program for the body, mind, and consciousness that cleanses and rejuvenates.
It's based on the Ayurvedic principle that every human is a unique phenomenon manifested from the five basic elements of Ether (space), Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
A combination of these elements makes up the 3 main doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and each indiviidual is a unique combination of these constitutions.
When this doshic balance is disturbed, it can lead to disorder in the body, mind, and consciousness. In Ayurveda, we believe disease takes hold and grows from this imbalance.
Panchakarma is a collection of practices and treatments done within a specific period of time, but tailered individually for each person with their specific constitution and specific disorders in mind, thus it requires close observation and supervision.
Treatment starts with pre-purification measures and then cleansing practices are carefully introduced.
Benefits of Panchakarma
Eliminate toxins and toxic conditions from your body and mind.
Restore your constitutional balance improving health and wellness.
Strengthen your immune system and become more resistant to illness.
Reverse the negative effects of stress on your body and mind thereby slowing the aging process.
Bring about deep relaxation and a sense of well-being.
