According to Ayurveda, health is a perfect state of balance in the body’s three “doshas” AKA Vata, Pitta and Kapha. And equally important is the vital balance among the body, mind and soul. Changes in age; seasonal changes, wrong diet, habits, lifestyle, repressed emotions and stress factors can result in upsetting our natural balance. Which, as a result, weaken our agni (gastric fire) and lead to accumulation of toxins.

How Pancha Karma Works

Pancha Karma works by detoxifying the body through a series of carefully designed therapies. These treatments aim to:

Loosen and eliminate toxins stored in tissues.
Strengthen digestion and metabolic processes.
Rebalance the body’s doshas for harmony and health.

By addressing the root causes of imbalance, Pancha Karma leaves you feeling lighter, revitalized, and more connected to your well-being.

How Pancha Karma Cleanses

…And Gently Renews You

Imagine a detox journey that nurtures you from the inside out. Pancha Karma is a deeply restorative process that clears toxins, restores balance, and revitalizes your energy with care and precision.

Preparation (Purva Karma): Begin with soothing therapies like warm herbal oil massages (Abhyanga) and steam baths (Swedana) to gently release toxins from deep tissues. A warm, nourishing diet supports your body during this stage.
Cleanse with Care (Pradhana Karma): Tailored detox techniques like Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (purgation), and Basti (herbal enemas) help remove toxins from key systems, from digestion to the respiratory tract.
Rebuild Vitality (Paschat Karma): Complete your journey with a rejuvenation phase focused on healing. Nourishing meals, herbal tonics, and daily practices rebuild strength and leave you glowing with health.

Pancha Karma doesn’t just cleanse—it renews your spirit, leaving you lighter, clearer, and profoundly re-balanced.

The three goals of Ayurveda

1. to prevent disease
2. protect the health that we have
3. and to promote longevity.

In other words to maintain the health of a healthy person and to heal the dis-ease of an unhealthy person. This is obtained by restoring the balance of the natural processes in the body. The ancient texts praise Pancha Karma as a seasonal rejuvenation treatment for ensuring balance year in and year out.

Ayurveda recommends 7 days for a more complete rejuvenation experience.
However, due to popular demand, we offer 1-7 days.

About Meals

You will be eating a simple mono-diet consisting of variations of: basmati rice, quinoa, mung dal, red dal, seasonal & doshic veggies, herbs & spices and herbal teas. During Pancha Karma it is customary to avoid; consuming meat, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, excess nightshade veggies, dairy (except ghee), wheat, bread, pastas, salads and most fruits. Our clients are often very satisfied with this diet. The bodies’ energy can then go toward cleansing and healing rather than complex digestive processes.
