Panchakarma is a purification and rejuvenation program involving a series of specialized treatments specifically tailored to your mind body type. There are three essential components to the Panchakarma process.

Ayurveda Massage Therapy

Abhyanga therapy is an ancient practice which predicates the Vedic period. The abhyaga is a friction massage using warm herbalized oil which is performed by therapists in synchrony. It is followed by a hot towel treatment. As the oil is massaged into the skin, it penetrates deep into the tissues and starts to loosen toxins, which are fat soluble, at the cellular level. The abhyanga enhances immunity, increased circulation and creates deep relaxation in the body and mind. Ayurvedic massage is based on the knowledge of marma points, the vital points of the body where structures pulsate and pain exists.

Shirodhara

The shirodhara is a profoundly relaxing treatment in which a soothing stream of warm oil is poured over the forehead. It calms the nervous system and integrates mind and body.

Udvartna

Udvartna is a full body herbal paste massage administered by therapists followed by a towel rubdown. Its purpose is to draw out excess fluids, drain the lymphatics, stimulate circulation and exfoliate the body.

Ayurvedic Love Therapy Snehna

The entire body is made up of unctuous substance and all of life depends upon them. The meaning of the sanskrit word sneha conveys stupendous love and immense tenderness, the essential spirit imbued in human nature, snehana therapy is meant to invoke these deeply imbedded codes of our nature and reawaken our cognitive memories. The main emphasis of this therapy is an elating, anointing, lubricating and caressing both the internal and external body.

Swedana

The swedana is an herbal steam treatment which helps mobilize toxicity or ama in the physiology. It opens the channels of circulation (srotas) that helps impurities to move into the gastrointestinal tract to be eliminated. In addition, the Swedana relaxes the body, reduces tension and allows toxins to be eliminated through the sweat glands.

Shiro-abhyanga-nasya

The SAN is a thorough head, face, neck and shoulder massage followed by an herbal stream treatment, hot towel treatment and gentle herbal drops for the nasal passages. The SAN brings clarity to the mind and relieves tension and congestion.

Netra - Tarpana

Netra-Tarpana is a specialized eye treatment which is a cleaning process of eyes which gives cooling effect, prevents cataract and strengthens the optic nerve and improves sight.

Vamana Karma

Vamana is the procedure to eliminate the waste product (vitiated dosha) through the upper gastro-intestinal track. It is the cleansing procedure, which expels doshas, particularly the augmented kapha.

By this treatment, vitiated kapha dosha is totally eliminated from its roots (stomach) through the mouth.

Virechana Karma

This karma aims to eliminate doshas that cannot be removed by Vamana Karma such as the Kidneys, lungs and sweat glands.
Elimination of vitiated doshas through rectum is called virechana. It cleanses the small intestine and the organs, which are pitta dominant.
