You will be doing 21 panchakarma program , an ayurvedic program for detoxification and rejuvenation. Panchakarma is the ultimate mind-body healing experience for detoxifying the body, strengthening the immune system, and restoring balance and well-being. It is one the most effective healing modality in Ayurvedic Medicine. Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means “five actions” or “five treatments” (see treatments below). This is a process used to clean the body of toxins (called ama) created by disease and poor nutrition. Panchakarma will remove the excess doshas and correct imbalances in them, and elimiate toxins (ama) from your body’s own organs and channels of elimination (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach, intestines, etc). Panchakarma purifies the tissues at a very deep level. It involves daily massages and oil baths, herbal enemas, nasal administrations. It is a very pleasurable experience. although there can also be periods of discomfort associated with the profound release of toxins. Like all medical procedures, Panchakarma Therapy begins with an initial consultation by a qualified Ayurvedic Physician who can determine the individual’s prakriti (constitutional type), the nature of the health problem (if any), and the appropriate degree of intensity of the prescribed therapies.

During your panchakarma, you will be provided with a special vegetarian diet and special herbal teas which are nutritious, easy to digest and de-toxifying. Please bring along any snacks from home and special medicines, especially if you have special dietary requirements.

Your treatment program will be highly individualized to meet your needs, and will consider your Ayurvedic constitutional type, doshic imbalances, age, digestive strength, immune status, and many other factors. In some cases, two, three, and sometimes four of these therapies are linked together during the course of one day’s treatments.

• Abhyanga is a herbal-oil massage designed to deeply penetrate the skin, relax the mind-body, break up impurities, and stimulate both arterial and lymphatic circulation. It enhances the ability of nutrients to reach starved cells and allows for the removal of stagnant waste. The desired result is a heightened state of awareness that will direct the internal healing system of the body.

 

• Shirodhara is a treatment where warm herbalized oil is gently and methodically poured over the forehead. It synchronizes brain waves, releases mental stress and profoundly purifies and calms the mind, body, and spirit.

 

• Garshana treatments involve dry lymphatic skin brushing using either wool or a silk glove. They enhance circulation and cleans the skin so that subsequent oil and herbal treatments can penetrate deeply into freshly cleansed pores.

 

• Swedana is an individually herbalized steam bath, during which the head and the heart are kept cool while the body is heated to remove mental, emotional and physical toxins lodged deeply within the tissues. The cool head and heart provide a deep sense of calm and openness, while the therapeutic steam over the entire body can penetrate and cleanse deeply, without the body becoming overheated and stressed.

 

• Pizichili is a continuous stream of warm herbalized oil soothingly poured over the whole body by two Ayurvedic therapists, who massage the body in perfect unison. The warmth of the oil and synchronicity of the massage combine for a deep tissue cleansing while supporting a heightened state of awareness that transcends description.
• Udvartana is a deeply penetrating herbal paste lymphatic massage. This powerful exfoliating treatment magically restores the natural radiance of the skin while pressing stagnant lymphatic toxins out of the body.

 

• The Five Senses Therapy treatment combines the therapeutic effect of all five senses working in concert. Sound therapies use specific Vedic hymns and mantras recommended for each imbalance. Touch therapy enlivens specific vital points on the body called marma points. Taste therapy uses certain herbal medicines. Sight uses Ayurvedic color therapy, and smell is accessed with combinations of rare aromatics. The effect is a harmonizing of all the senses to bring one’s awareness to the source of thought and feeling within the heart.

 

• Basti is an herbal enema specially prepared to pull toxins out of the colon. This is the final stage of each daily Panchakarma treatment. The freshly loosened impurities from each day of treatment are flushed out of the body via the effects of the basti. The basti also transports Ayurvedic medicines into the blood and tissues in order to trans-form the memory of damaged and toxic cells. It is considered one of the most important and most powerful aspects of the Panchakarma treatment.

 

• Nasya consists of individually prescribed herbs and oil drops, inhaled through the nose, which clear the sinuses of excess mucus. It is also an important therapy when medicating the central nervous system. This treatment combats the deep dryness that exists at the root of many respiratory and allergic conditions.

 

• Shiro-Abhyanga-Nasya is a luxurious combination of a deep head/neck/shoulder massage and facial lymphatic massage, followed by deep inhalation of therapeutic aromatic steam, and a nasal and sinus nasya with herbalized nose drops. This popular treatment is an invaluable tool balancing most head, neck and respiratory disorders.

 

• Pinda Swedana is a deep cleansing treatment where rice boiled in milk and herbs is massaged deeply into the tissues and joints. The treatment is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating as well as powerfully detoxifying.
