3 phases of Panchakarma treatment

1. Purvakarma (preparation)

Breaks down and clears blockages, and liquefies toxins, moving them to the intestinal region.
5 main treatments include:
Abhyangam – whole body oil massage
Udwarthanam – herbal powders massage
Kizhi/patra potli – herbal hot bundles massage
Steam – herbal body bath
Snehapanam – regulated oil/ghee drinking

These are the five major treatments, but any or all of the following can be included as part of the preparation for eliminating toxins.

These are used only when recommended by the doctor if there is pain for the individual in these areas:

Kati Vasti
Janu Vasti
Greeva Vasti
Shiro Vasti

Here are just some of the treatments in greater detail.

ABHYANGAM (whole body oil massage)

A traditional balancing method of massage which harmonises energy in the mind and body. This therapy releases deep rooted tension, stress and depression, and regenerates one’s overall health. Massages at the Centre are performed with either Ayurvedic herbal oils or essential oils.

Helps improve immunity.
Helps with paralysis.
Helps overcome obesity, diabetes and asthma.
Helps with arthritis, and assists mobility in joints and muscles.
Helps ease chronic aches and pains like backache, stiff neck, migraine and rheumatism.

Helps to provide deep relaxation and helps overcome insomnia.
Helps with stress, depression, mental slowness and schizophrenia.
Diminishes hypertension.
Helps overcome hemiplegia (paralysis).
Helps against diabetic complications such as neuropathy.

SWEDANAM

A traditional treatment of steaming the body within an enclosed chamber with herbs soaked in water, or with essential oils, according to the person’s body type. It helps to eliminate toxins through the pores of the skin, and is suitable for all different body types. It is the most effective treatment for obesity. All parts of the body, except the head, are within the enclosed chamber.Currently a steam room is being used instead of the box shown.

Benefits:

Depending on personal requirements, your programme may not include all 5 therapies. Some of the treatments are detailed in the section below.

VIRECHANA

A treatment to help clean the intestines through ingesting a special Ayurvedic herbal medication. The process is undertaken after the body has been prepared both externally through massage with oils/cream, and internally through the ingestion of ghee (refined butter) or boiled rice water. It is accompanied by a strict Ayurvedic diet and must be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic therapist. It is a safe process without any side effects. This treatment is recommended for a duration of 1-4 days.

Benefits:

Helps control obesity, gastro-intestinal problems, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, worms and haemorrhoids.
Helps clear skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema.
Assists in the control of diabetes and helps fight anaemia.

NASYA

A treatment for the sinuses. Beginning with a facial massage, this is followed by steam inhalation, and finished with a stream of medicated oil dripped into the nostrils while lying on the Ayurvedic massage table. While this treatment helps to cure problems in the head, it is particularly good for preventing diseases in this area.

Benefits:

Helps clear the sinuses, eliminates nasal allergies, eases migraines and insomnia.
Helps prevent many ear, nose and throat problems.

3. Paschatkarma (post-treatment)

Nourishes exhausted body tissues and establishes balanced metabolic and immune functions.

2-4 weeks of simple, healthy, vegetarian diet (freshly cooked meals free from processed foods, caffeine, sugar) accompanied by a positive lifestyle (regular sleep cycle, meditation, yoga, mild exercise).

Within these three categories, we apply various types of appropriate treatments depending on the nature of the person’s body and the particular imbalances identified. The treatments are identified through consultation with a registered Ayurvedic physician, and under the guidance of a registered Ayurvedic therapist.

All of the above treatments can help to alleviate and heal a range of common disorders and other health concerns such as:

Digestive disorders
Weight management
Lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and cholesterol
Stress and related problems such as anxiety and hypertension
Depression
Spine and joint problems
Arthritis – rheumatoid and osteo
Infertility – both male and female
Specific women’s health concerns such as menstrual disorder

It is also very helpful as a regenerative program for all ages and individuals.

Who need Panchakarma

Panchakarma is recommended for individuals with imbalances or health issues to improve their wellness. But even healthy individuals can benefit from Panchakarma as a preventative measure to maintain overall health and wellness. Panchakarma helps to boost the immune system, improve digestion, reduce stress, and enhance energy levels. It also helps remove accumulated toxins from the body, resulting in a vibrant and radiant glow.

So if you’re seeking holistic health and well-being, try one of our Panchakarma packages, even if you’re already feeling good. Our experienced Ayurvedic practitioners will tailor a treatment plan specifically for your needs, ensuring you receive the maximum benefits from this transformative therapy.

A combination of internal and external Ayurvedic therapies are used to remove toxins and rejuvenate the body and mind, as detailed below. The treatments are identified through consultation with a registered Ayurvedic physician and administered under the guidance of a registered Ayurvedic therapist.

Panchakarma is considered safe when conducted by trained and experienced practitioners, but you should first consult with a qualified ayurvedic doctor to ensure that it is appropriate for your health needs and to minimize any potential risks.

Who should avoid Panchakarma

Pregnant women: the detoxification processes can be too rigorous for pregnant women due to potential risks to both mother and foetus.
The seriously ill: treatment could interfere with the ongoing medical treatments of advanced cancer, severe heart disease, or kidney failure.
Those with weakness or debility: those recovering from major surgery or suffering from chronic fatigue may not have enough strength.
Elderly unwell individuals: those with weak immune systems or other conditions may not be able to handle the stress of detoxification.
Children under the age of 12: as their bodies are still developing, the detoxification process could be too harsh for them.
Those with certain mental health conditions: conditions such as psychosis or severe depression could be exacerbated.
Those with a terminal illness: the focus for these individuals is typically on comfort and symptom management.

Your health and well-being are our top priority, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. With our expertise and guidance we can help you make informed decisions for your overall wellness. Contact us today to learn more about how to proceed with caution and care.

FAQ

What is Panchakarma

Pancha means five in Sanskrit, and karma means actions or therapies. Each of the five therapies is a toxin-elimination technique, which targets a certain dosha. This detox program offers a lifestyle change by planting a seed within you for improved habits when you return to your everyday life. They will help to both build up your health awareness and find alignment between your body, mind and spirit.

One of the miracles of the human body is its capability to constantly rejuvenate and heal itself. However, when body energies (tridoshas) are imbalanced, due to either natural or unnatural causes, the digestive capacity is weakened, leading to the formation of toxic impurities which hinder the body’s healing capabilities. Panchakarma is used as a remedy to restore the body to its natural, inherent healing state, expelling toxins and foreign substances.

One-day ayurvedic experience

Panchakarma treatments are also offered separately by the Centre if you do not wish to take part in a package.

You can take advantage of a one-day ayurvedic experience which is combination of three treatments in the one day, which will give you a taste of ayurveda:

Abhyanga (massage)
Swedanam (steam bath)
Shirodhara (warm oil poured slowly over the forehead)
OR
Takradhara (warm buttermilk poured slowly over the forehead)

The total time for this lavish treatment is 1 hour and 45 minutes.

All of the above therapies are offered independently, or as part of our different ayurveda programs.

Testimonials

I stayed at the Centre for just over one week for a short introductory course on Ayurveda massage with Rajendra and practiced Kriya Yoga every morning with Shailendra. It was a great experience, the whole family made me feel at home, they helped me to learn the techniques and let me patiently practice on them, fed me genuine and delicious food and there was often time for interesting discussions about Indian culture, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, mindfulness and many other interesting topics. It was a 360 degrees experience where you really appreciate their knowledge and dedication. The centre is clean and quiet, surrounded by greenery and right on the Ganga river banks, conveniently located in front of the Laxman Jhula.
