Ayurveda, meaning “the science of life” or “knowledge of life,” is an ancient Indian system of medicine that dates back over 5,000 years. Its approach focuses on balancing the body and mind to prevent and treat diseases. Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach to health and well-being.

One of the unique aspects of Ayurveda is Panchakarma, a set of specially designed procedures aimed at internal purification of the body through the most natural and effective routes. The five main Panchakarma therapies include:

Vamana (Emesis therapy)

Virechana (Purgation therapy)

Niruha Basti and Anuvasana Basti (Enema therapies)

Nasya (Errhine therapy)

Benefits of Panchakarma:

• The procedures restore a state of good health by maintaining the equilibrium of Doshas.

• It helps the body to combat infections and revamps the immune system.

• It helps in relieving stress and results in relaxation of body and mind.

• It ensures optimal functioning of the respiratory system, cardio-vascular system, gastro-intestinal tract, nervous system, reproductive system, endocrine system and the lymphatic system.

• It helps to slow down the ageing process by rejuvenating the body.
