Panchakarma
Panchakarma Treatment
In Ayurvedic Treatment, the emphasis is placed on purification since health is associated with purity while disease is associated with impurity. The central focus of Ayurvedic treatment is to eliminate the underlying cause of a problem and prevent its reoccurrence by avoiding factors that contribute to it. Ayurvedic treatment aims to address the root cause of the symptoms rather than simply suppressing them and potentially causing new side effects in the process. The medicines for the treatment are prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Rather than instruct the patient to merely take a drug or herb to heal the physical condition, our Ayurveda doctors looks to restore balance within the patient. Therefore, all 4 areas of life must be cultivated; mind/body, career, relationships and inner spiritual development.
Panchakarma therapy is aimed at the elimination of the unbalanced doshas – Vata, Pitta, Kapha. Our Ayurveda doctors shall choose the required therapy after a detailed analysis. This therapy can be implemented not only for curing diseases but also to maintain health.

- Samana Chikitsa: Pacification Treatment. Targets balancing Vata-Pitta-Kapha inside the body
- Sodhana Chikitsa: Panchakarma Therapy. Targets the elimination of unbalanced Vata-Pitta-Kapha out of the body
The term Panchakarma refers to a set of five specialized therapies designed to restore balance to the body’s Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. These treatments are not simply massages; instead, they involve a series of preparatory oil-based therapies aimed at detoxifying and purifying the body, ensuring the elimination of any doshic imbalances.
While Panchakarma has numerous benefits, it is important to note that it comes with both indications and contraindications. Our experienced Ayurvedic practitioner will carefully assess your dosha state to select the most appropriate Panchakarma treatment for your needs. These therapies are not only beneficial for treating existing conditions but are also effective for maintaining health and preventing future ailments.
