The Pancha-Karma Cleansing Retreat in Ayurveda transcends mere actions; it is a healing journey aimed at cleansing the body and rejuvenating the mind. The term “Pancha-Karma” derives from the five significant applications (pancha = five, karma = action, deed), utilized in conjunction with small preparatory measures (purva-karma). The goal is not only to cleanse the body but also to restore inner balance.
At the core of every classical Pancha-Karma Retreat lies the art of internal and external “oiling.” Ayurveda posits that toxins responsible for imbalances and various symptoms are often lipid soluble. Through targeted internal and external oiling, these toxins are mobilized, transported to the digestive tract, and eventually eliminated. The selection of the five primary treatments Vamana (therapuetic vomiting), Virecana (therapeutic purgation), Nasya (cleansing of upper airways with medicated oils), Vasti (enemas) and Rakta Mokshana (blood-letting) varies individually, based on factors such as age, constitution, and symptomatology. The 14-day Pancha-Karma Retreat offered by my experienced team and me provides a holistic experience with lasting effects.
For patients who, due to their compromised health condition, should not undergo Panchakarma treatment, we offer tailored Ayurvedic therapies specific to their respective medical conditions. These therapies are particularly recommended for patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders (such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), neuro-muscular conditions (such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.), chronic inflammatory bowel diseases or irritable bowel syndrome, as well as patients with eczema or psoriasis. Please consult with us regarding this matter. A separate consultation will be conducted.
Our Services Include:
- Preparation at home: After a personalized telephone consultation, you undergo a tailored two-week preparation phase in the comfort of your home. This phase aims to fortify your digestive fire (agni) and lays the groundwork for an effective cleansing and rejuvenation process during the retreat, ensuring a sustainable and profound outcome.
- Internal Oiling: Utilization of high-quality medicated Ghee (clarified butter) for profound cleansing.
- External Oiling: Ten classical Ayurvedic full body oil massages (Abhyanga) using authentic Indian oils.
- Main Treatments: Depending on individual needs and choices, the five main treatments are administered.
- Smaller Treatments (Purva Karma): Including Shiro-Dhara (forehead oil flow) and other specialized therapies.
- Ayurvedic Pancha-Karma Meals: Three meals per day, tailored to your needs during the retreat.
- Ayurvedic Medication: Supportive medication throughout the entire retreat
Additional treatments such as Netra Vasti (Ayurvedic eye bath), Karana Puruna (Ayurvedic ear bath), and Bastis (oil baths for various body parts) can be added if desired
