Panchakarma Treatment for Emotional Wellbeing
Panchakarma is:
- The most effective way of ridding the body of harmful toxins and rejuvenating it to the deepest cellular level
- A highly effective way of de-stressing and reversing the ageing process
- The most profound effect Panchakarma treatments offer, is the manner in which they reconnect the individual to their true nature that is often obscured by stress and toxic accumulation. The rebalancing that occurs in the nervous system is most noticeable, and the deep sense of feeling centered is often transformational. At times a few kilograms in weight are lost during treatment – a positive sign that toxins are indeed being
Panchakarma Process:
- Initial assessment. A preliminary consultation with our Lifestyle Consultant will establish your individual issues and needs and result in a tailor-made treatment program for you. This will include dietary and lifestyle recommendation as well as suggestions for suitable treatments.
- Detoxification. A selection of treatments is administered – normally over a period of five consecutive days. Each treatment targets specific areas to soften, loosen and mobilise any accumulated toxins. This is achieved by gentle internal and external oleation, using herbalised oils and steam. Once the toxins have been mobilised, appropriate procedures are used to remove them from the body.
- Rejuvenation. During the rejuvenation phase, the cleansed cell tissues are nourished and strengthened to boost the body’s immune system and restore proper metabolism. This is achieved through rejuvenating herbal tonics and appropriate diet.
- Continuous maintenance. Your Lifestyle Consultant will support you in establishing diet and lifestyle routines that will maintain your health and wellbeing in the long term.
Depending on the prescribed regime, each day of the 5 to 14 day treatments may take up to 4 hours each to complete. We work with a combination of traditional herbal oils (handmade at our Centre) and a diet intended to detox and nurture the entire physiology of the individual.
The cost of a Panchakarma treatment depends on the protocol selected for unique requirements of the individual. Your Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant will assist you in developing the most appropriate programme for your needs during your initial consultation.
