Overview
Panchakarma is the most comprehensive detoxification and rejuvenation programme in Ayurvedic medicine, refined over 5,000 years to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins (ama) and restore the natural balance of the three doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha. This 7-day programme at our partner Ayurveda centre in Rishikesh is a life-changing healing experience.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic doctor who analyses your prakriti (constitution) and identifies your specific imbalances. Based on this diagnosis, a personalised treatment protocol is designed using classical Panchakarma procedures — Snehana (oleation), Swedana (fomentation), and the specific cleansing therapies suited to your body type.
Daily treatments include Abhyanga (warm herbal oil massage), Shirodhara (meditative oil stream on the forehead), and specialised procedures like Basti, Nasya, or Virechana as prescribed by your doctor. Combined with dosha-specific Sattvic meals, gentle yoga, and meditation, this programme achieves a level of detoxification and renewal that modern medicine simply cannot replicate.
