Panchakarma Detox

Panchakarma is a classical Ayurvedic purification and therapeutic programme traditionally used to help restore balance in the body. The treatment is individually planned according to a person's Prakriti (body constitution), health condition, age, strength, digestion, and specific requirements.

At Pranamaya, Panchakarma is carried out under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician. The programme may include preparatory therapies such as Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation/steam), followed by appropriate Panchakarma procedures such as Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, or Raktamokshana, depending on the individual's suitability. A personalized Ayurvedic diet, herbal support, rest, and daily physician assessment form an important part of the programme.

Key Therapies

Classical Snehana (Oleation) & Swedana (Steam)
Preparatory therapies traditionally used before Panchakarma procedures. Herbal oils or ghee may be used for oleation, followed by therapeutic sweating to prepare the body for the selected treatment.

Shirodhara
A continuous stream of specially selected warm oil or herbal liquid is gently poured over the forehead. It is traditionally used as a deeply relaxing Ayurvedic therapy and may be incorporated into a Panchakarma programme when appropriate.

Medicated Basti
Basti is one of the principal Panchakarma therapies involving the administration of an Ayurvedic medicated preparation through the rectal route. The type, ingredients, quantity, and duration are determined by the Ayurvedic physician according to the individual's condition.

Daily Ayurvedic Vaidya Review
The individual's progress is regularly assessed by the Ayurvedic physician. Pulse examination, digestion, appetite, sleep, energy, bowel habits, and overall response to treatment may be considered when adjusting therapies and diet.
