3 Phases Of Panchakarma
Poovakarama (Preparation phase): During your consultation, your doctor will outline the details of your preparation for the main Panchakarma treatment. This preparation usually lasts one week and is completed prior to beginning the bodywork.
Panchakarma (Main treatment): Consists of adhering to the specific diet outlined by your doctor, which includes consuming increasing amounts of either ghee or oil. The consumption of the ghee or oil is key to the detoxification process as the oil saturates, then lifts the toxins (called ama) out of the body tissues.
Many of these toxins attach themselves to the fatty tissues of the body. With the larger amounts of ghee or oil, the body’s metabolism for fat burning is increased which also supports the removal of toxins.
After several weeks on the diet protocol, you will complete a mild fast and special liver purge that will leave you feeling light and purified. You will also receive details about taking cleansing herbal supplements and receiving Ayurvedic bodywork from our Panchakarma technicians.
Weekly, you will receive two deep cleansing full-body Abhyanga bodywork, with customized warm herbal oil designed for your particular health challenges. During each of these treatments you will also receive the following:
- Pinda Sweda Warm Herbal Bolus Percussive treatments (total of 14 of these sessions)
- Nasya (special sinus treatment)
- A full facial herbal pack
- Sweat therapy in our Far Infrared sauna
You will receive six Shirodhara treatments during which warm herb-infused oil is poured over the forehead and head for approximately 45 minutes. This treatment is deeply relaxing and soothing to the central nervous system, as well as for mental and emotional wellness.
You will receive four Herbal Cleansing and Rejuvenating Colonics. These four colonics take the place of the traditional Basti or Ayurvedic enemas and are specifically designed to cleanse the colon and deliver specific herbs directly into the bloodstream via the mucosa of the colon. These colonics balance the Vata dosha qualities in the body, namely the Air and Space elements.
You will have two periodic consults with your doctor during the main phase of your treatments, at which time you will be examined to see how the process is coming along for you. At these times, your doctor may make subtle changes to your protocol if determined necessary.
Antarkarma (Post treatment): Two weeks after your last Colonic, you will have a follow-up appointment with your doctor. At this visit you will receive rejuvenation guidance on diet and supportive herbal supplements to continue to foster your best health.
