AIDA AYURVEDA RESORT

Panchakarma Testimonials

Great value

We visited AIDA Ayurveda Resort yesterday and had a really pleasant experience. First of all, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. A special thanks to Akila for communicating all the details so clearly, Athukorala Uncle for his kindness, and Dr. Chandani for the Ayurvedic consultations and treatments. The reception staff and everyone else at the resort were also very helpful, polite, and attentive. We stayed in a river view room which was clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The room was not very spacious, but considering the price, it was definitely worth it. We booked on a bed & breakfast basis, and the breakfast was served Sri Lankan style with healthy food options including delicious Kola Kanda, which we really enjoyed. The Ayurvedic treatments were one of the highlights of our stay. They currently offer a 25% discount on treatments, which is great value. We tried the full body treatment and sauna session, and it was a wonderful experience. A special thank you to Ms. Chathurika, who did my treatment so professionally and warmly. The session was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, a very worthwhile and peaceful stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing Ayurvedic getaway in Bentota!

ABOUT THE PANCHAKARMA DETOX PROGRAM

What is Ayurveda?

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

Is Ayurveda an evidence-based science?

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.

What does authentic Panchakarma mean?

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.

Does AIDA offer packages or specific programs?

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!

How is the length of my Panchakarma calculated?

Our Panchakarma programs are counted in nights, not days, and begin the morning after your arrival.
At Oneworld Ayurveda Tegallang, we offer Panchakarma programs of 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 nights. On the final day, a morning treatment is provided if your travel schedule allows it. The Panchakarma can start at any time based on availability.
At Oneworld Ayurveda Ubud, we offer Panchakarma programs of 7, 14, or 21 nights. On the final day of the program, there is no treatment schedule, and the program ends at 11:00 am. The Panchakarma program at Ubud starts every Sunday based on the schedule on the calendar.

Will I be fasting during my stay?

Food is an important part of Panchakarma and your meals will be well-balanced according to the guidelines of Ayurveda. In general, you will enjoy three delicious meals daily, healthy and balanced for you.
On the detox day(s), you will have a special diet with little food to make sure you get the maximum benefits from the detox.

Can I keep up my exercise routine during my stay?

During a Panchakarma detox program, we advise you not to exert yourself with high impact exercise. There will be gentle yoga and meditation offered twice daily, you can join for group scheduled walks in the beautiful rice fields or the herbal gardens.

What is included in the Panchakarma?

Our prices are all-inclusive of accommodation, meals, daily treatments, initial diagnosis, doctor consultations, yoga, meditation, herbal walks, transfers from/to the airport, etc. Government taxes and service charges are also included.

What will a typical day be like during my Panchakarma?

Everybody's experience will be different. And each day different events will be scheduled. Just to give you an idea of what your day could look like, here is a brief outline:
The gong sounds early, gently waking you up in time. Time for yoga and meditation in the beautiful yoga hall overlooking the stunning rice fields or just relax on your balcony or in the gardens, taking a morning walk.
Then it is time for breakfast before you meet with the physician and start your daily treatments in the treatment center. The duration and number of your treatments will vary, depending on which stage you are at.
In the morning, we often hold talks on Ayurveda or cooking demonstrations. After lunch, there is time to yourself for relaxation before your scheduled afternoon treatments. This might be followed by a walk through the spectacular rice fields.
Early evening there is a meditation class and then it is time to enjoy dinner.

What do I need to know before planning my Panchakarma?

If you are planning to travel in addition to doing a Panchakarma (PK), we recommend that you do so beforehand. The deep cleansing technique triggers the body's innate healing process which does not stop on the last day of treatment. Therefore, it is really important not to go traveling afterward but to ease your way back into your activities. The slow-down or recovery phase we advise is equivalent to the number of days of your PK. For example, if you have done ten days allow at least a ten-day recovery phase for the body and mind. Not always easy to do, but try!
We offer authentic PK. Ayurveda tells us to get plenty of rest, keep warm, and protect ourselves from excessive sunlight and wind. Therefore avoid sunbathing, swimming, going into Ubud to shop, or undertaking excursions during your PK. Observe your thoughts and experiences and travel inwards instead. Doing a PK is giving the self 'me time, it is a gift of rejuvenation to the body, mind, and soul that we all so deserve.
It is good to start preparing yourself also physically for the Panchakarma.
Our physicians recommend to
eat only vegetarian food for 2-3 days before (or longer) you start your trip
cut down on smoking and alcohol (if applies)
cut down on coffee, sugar, soft drinks, and junk food
get some rest and stay warm on the plane

Are there any restrictions during my Panchakarma program?

Panchakarma works best when following specific guidelines including ample rest and avoiding swimming, excursions, sun/wind exposure, sexual activity, and other stimulating activities. These recommendations ensure optimal results and prevent unwanted side effects. Trust your physician's guidance-these restrictions are essential to your healing process.

Should I bring anything special for my Panchakarma?

Once the reservation is confirmed we will send you an email with all the relevant information. You will need yoga clothes if you intend to join our daily classes. No mats are needed, we have plenty.
Remember that we are in the tropics, so no need to bring warm clothing, though you may want to bring a wrap or a cardigan.
Due to the use of medicated oils during your treatments, there can be some staining, so no need to bring expensive clothing. We provide you with bathrobe, sarong, and flip-flops to wear during the program.
You may bring along your own toothbrush and toothpaste, hand and body lotion, and a comb. Regular mosquito repellent is available, yet you may bring your own preferred one.
For our community...If you have clothing, shoes, hats, a used laptop computer, or whatever you think could be useful for people that are less fortunate, do not hesitate to bring them as a donation to the village people. It is absolutely not necessary, yet it will certainly be appreciated.

I am pregnant - can I still join Panchakarma?

During pregnancy, Ayurvedic treatments can be beneficial in alleviating stiffness, aches, and pains, improving sleep quality, and reducing cramps. Additionally, proper nutritional support and pregnancy-specific guidelines can be provided.
However, detoxification or Panchakarma therapies, such as emetics, purgatives, nasal medications, and enemas, are not recommended during pregnancy. Treatments that raise body temperature or induce perspiration, such as poultices, are also discouraged. This applies to all trimesters, except near the due date.
Guests are advised to bring all necessary medical documents and supplements to ensure continuity of care during their stay.
Long flights are generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the first and last trimesters. A pre-consultation with one of the doctors will be conducted before confirming participation in the program.

What is the minimum age for a Panchakarma?

A Panchakarma is open to people aged 16 years and above.

What is the difference between a Yoga Retreat and an Panchakarma?

Yoga retreats are led by our in-house or guest yoga teachers. Each teacher offers different styles of yoga, teaching, and experiences-some retreats include trips around the island or a deeper dive into your personal development. As part of your retreat, you will have a choice of Ayurvedic or traditional treatments and be served delicious, healthy meals throughout. With a variety of retreats on offer, you can find one that is perfectly suited to your needs.
A Panchakarma is directed by our Ayurvedic doctors, who upon arrival will assess your bio-energy (Dosha) and create a tailored program to restore balance and address any health conditions you may have. While you will still practice yoga, it is a softer form of yoga as during a Panchakarma you can't exert yourself too much. Similarly, during a Panchakarma gentle walks around the surrounding area are fine, but trips into town or further away should be avoided as external stimuli can affect the healing process.
You will have twice-daily Ayurvedic treatments and eat a variety of nutritious and balancing Ayurvedic meals as prescribed by our doctors.
