Panchakarma - The Ayurvedic Detox
Toxins from chemicals in our food, pollution in the environment, drinking, smoking, stress, chemical medication, etc. all accumulate in our body over a period of time. These toxins are the cause of myriad diseases and health and emotional problems. Western medicine has had no success in removing these toxins safely and effectively from our body. In Ayurveda detoxification and rejuvenation is achieved with 'Panchakarma', which removes deep-seated toxins naturally without any negative side effects.

It guides individuals in the proper diet, living habits and exercise to help restore balance in the body, mind and consciousness, preventing diseases from gaining a foothold in the system.

In Ayurveda every human being is a unique phenomenon of cosmic energy, which manifests itself thought the three basic elements or the “Tridosha” – Vata - Air, Pitta- Fire and Kapha - Water. Each individual’s constitution has its own unique balance of these three energies. When this “doshic” balanced is disturbed it leads causes damage to normal bodily functions leading to various health disorders and diseases.
The wrong diet, lifestyle, habits, seasonal changes, repressed emotions and stress factors can all act together or separately to imbalance ones doshas.
Panchakarma or five actions, is a purification, detoxification, cleansing and rejuvenating program for the body, mind and consciousness. It is known for its beneficial effects on overall health, wellness and self-healing. Pancha means five and Karma means treatment, thus the Panchakarmas includes five types of therapies, which are mainly used for purification or elimination of toxins.
