PIT STOP FOR YOUR BODY..

Ayurveda’s "Panchakarma" literally means five therapies.  They include Vamana (therapeutic emesis or vomiting), Virechana (therapeutic purgations), Basti (enema), Nasya (nasal drops) and Rakta Mokshana (blood-letting).  

Each one of these has very specific indications, in both management and prevention of disease.  Depending on the dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), the condition, and the strength of the patient..  As a preventative measure, each one is indicated in a certain season to rid the body of toxins which naturally accumulate due to diet and external factors.  In either case, an individual course may last 7-14 days or more.

Each treatment is composed of a methodical sequence of internal medicines and external procedures (like massage and steam bath), performed in three distinct stages - a preparatory phase (Purva karma), actual purification (Pradhana karma), and follow-up phase (Paschat karma).  Undergoing at least one treatment per year provides significant improvement in overall health along with a greatly strengthened immune system.
