Full board Ayurveda: Panchakarma - The Body Purification and Detoxification program

Panchakarma in Sanskrit means 'five actions' or 'five treatments' that includes the process of cleansing the body of toxins and rejuvenation of the body at a very deep level. Ayurveda highly recommends Panchakarma as a seasonal treatment for the elimination of factors causing diseases and maintaining the equilibrium of biological energies – Vata, Pita, and Kapha. Panchakarma therapy is a highly complex and sophisticated science of purification of the body-mind channel systems. The detoxification process involves three main stages; a modified diet and lifestyle is to be followed throughout these three stages.

The “Body Purification and Detoxification program” requires a minimum duration of 14 days to comfortably administer all the therapies meant for the process in an unhurried and spaced out manner. This will include medicated ghee drinking (SNEHAPAANA) for 3 to 5 days subject to the digestion and cardiovascular fitness of the person. This will help to prepare your body to undergo the body cleansing which is normally done after 7 to 9 days (depending upon your body type and the imbalances). The cleansing is done by VIRECHANA (therapeutic purgation) to get rid of the metabolic toxins which have concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) after the 7-9 days of conditioning therapies. The conditioning therapies help to channelize the toxins towards the GI tract. It is quite normal that after the cleansing procedures the person would be feeling exhausted, so rejuvenate and body/mind toning therapies need to be administered which are essential to make the person feel energetic again after the cleansing procedures. This may include warm oil massages, detox warm herbal bundle applications, intensive oil therapies for the body and head, etc. All these are administered following a prescribed Ayurvedic vegetarian diet with complete rest during the course of therapies. In a 21-day program Vasthi treatment may also be included as necessary
