Indigenous to India, where it is widely practiced, Ayurveda is a natural, time-tested health system that is focused on disease prevention by balancing the body, mind, and spirit.
Every person has a distinct balance of Vata (space and air), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water), otherwise known as the Doshas. When a person's Doshas are out of balance they are more susceptible to disease and distress.
Ancient Ayurvedic wisdom provides guidance on how to live according to your Dosha, and treat imbalances, through diet, exercise, daily rituals, social interaction, and other lifestyle factors. Ayurveda's healing modalities include detox (Panchakarma), massages and treatments.
Learn about the facts of Ayurveda

The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is based on time-tested theories that have been proven through observation, trial and error, and experimentation.
Ayurveda is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the world's oldest comprehensive healthcare system.
Research conducted at reputable Ayurvedic institutes is registered in the clinical trial registry, which is a single platform for all fields of medicine. Clinical research is being published in recognized medical journals worldwide. Ayurveda has also employed modern research methodology to prove its effectiveness. Pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological studies are being conducted alongside clinical trials.
Ayurvedic pharmacological companies in India are closely scrutinized to maintain the standards of their medicines and are awarded 'good manufacturing practices' certificates. They are also encouraged to conduct and register clinical trials.

Experiencing Panchakarma is beyond a spa wellness holiday and is different for each person. It is a common misconception that a PK is only authentic when it involves drinking ghee for 3-5 days, followed by purgation and eating repetitive food like kitchadi every day. However, there are many other considerations taken into account.
The physicians will look at your age, bio-energies, imbalances, the status of digestive fire, disease and its stage, extent of ama/endotoxins, the seat of toxins, and many other factors before deciding which treatment is best suited for you and selecting the detox method. Depending on your condition and progress during the PK, you might undergo several detoxes but it is very rare that one person has all five methods.
When the endotoxins are deep-seated, an external and internal oleation or snehana will be chosen. This treatment involves drinking ghee or oil or adding them to a soup or rice. But maybe a medicated oil enema, dripping oil into the ears, an oil massage, or a bath are the best options for you, not to mention the many localized oil treatments for knees, lower back, etc.
Next comes fomentation (Swedana) using external dry or wet heat. This includes poultices, herbal baths, steam therapy, mild exercise or yoga, etc. In addition to the above, your digestive fire will be improved and undigested matter (ama) removed by herbal decoctions.
All these stages are important to remove the deep-seated endotoxins from the tissues. Once they are ready for this, a suitable detox method will be chosen for you. And sometimes the endotoxins are already ripe for removal and no fomentation or oleation is needed at all. In cases like this, it is important that the endotoxins are removed as soon as possible.

Our experienced doctors will do an initial in-depth consultation to identify the body-mind constitution, balances, and imbalances of bioenergies, the status of digestive fire, physical and mental status, etc. The treatments and type of Panchakarma detox procedure suitable for each individual will only be decided after this initial consultation.
This is the reason why you will not find any pre-designed packages on our website - in Ayurveda, one size definitely does not fit all!
