Purvakarma and Panchakarma
Purvakarma and Panchakarma (PK) are a cleansing, rebalancing and rejuvenating process for the body, mind and consciousness which greatly enhances your state of well-being. It provides a natural way to reconnect to your "true self" that is often obscured by stress and toxic accumulation. This sense of reconnection is a profoundly powerful healing experience.
Ayurveda, or the science of life, believes our natural state is one of health and happiness - health of the mind and body, and happiness through the emotional and spiritual peace and contentment. This state is achieved through a combination of diet, meditation and exercise and the practice of sattvic, or compassionate, actions and behaviour. While this is not impossible to maintain in our busy world, coping with the demands of modern living leads to the accumulation of physical and emotional toxins. This constant accumulation weakens the immune system which allows chronic and often non-specific conditions to develop. With time serious specific illnesses that severely compromise our heath develop. PK treatments are able to penetrate to the deepest cellular levels, loosening and eliminating toxins and allowing the body to rejuvenate its functions effectively and efficiently.
Our Panchakarma Program
Ayurveda recommends PK at each seasonal change or at least once a year. This prevents the accumulation of toxins (ama) and halts the progression of disease. To cleanse the body and mind PK is ideally done over 7 or 13 days. During a specifically tailored sequence of treatments, toxins are eliminated from the deepest tissues of the body. This is achieved by internal and external oleation using herbalised oils and steam.
Each day of the PK penetrates to a deeper layer, separating ama from the tissues which can then be eliminated from the colon. This unique process restores clarity of mind, enhances energy levels and brings about a sense of inner balance and contentment.
Our 7 and 13 day PK programs include a consultation and offer the option of an individually tailored yoga session to integrate into your daily routine.
Niruha and Anuvasana Basti
Basti - herbalised enema therapy
Basti is the most powerful detoxification and rejuvenation procedure ayurveda has to offer. Ideally basti therapy follows 5 days of purvakarma - the preparatory phase where toxins (ama) are softened, loosened and mobilised in the tissues (dhatus). It is also used as a stand alone treatment. Basti's also help in preventing toxic accumulation in the digestive tract from moving deeper into the body. The treatments are administered for 8 consecutive days to reach all 7 levels of tissue sequentially.
