PANCHAKARMA

Panchakarma is the heart of Ayurvedic healing — a powerful detoxification and rejuvenation therapy that cleanses the body of deep-rooted toxins (Ama) and restores balance to the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). The word “Panchakarma” means “Five Actions”, referring to five therapeutic procedures used to purify the body.

Unlike temporary solutions, Panchakarma goes to the root of the problem, resets your body’s natural healing ability, and brings harmony to body, mind, and soul.

Why Choose Panchakarma ?

  1. Deep Detoxification (Shodhana)
  2. Balances Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
  3. Boosts Immunity & Energy
  4. Mental Clarity & Emotional Stability
  5. Effective for Chronic Conditions
