Before the main cleansing, your body must be properly prepared. This critical stage loosens toxins from deep tissues and brings them to the digestive tract for elimination.

Purvakarma Includes:

• Abhyanga (Full-Body Oil Massage): Daily warm medicated oil massage applied in specific directions to move toxins toward elimination channels. Uses organic sesame, coconut, or specially prepared oils based on your dosha.
• Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Follows massage to open pores, soften tissues, and liquefy toxins. The steam chamber is infused with medicinal herbs selected for your condition.
• Preparatory Diet: Your meals become progressively lighter, moving from solid foods to easily digestible khichdi, soups, and broths. This “digestive rest” allows your body to focus energy on detoxification.
• Ghee Therapy (Snehapana): You’ll consume specific amounts of medicated ghee on an empty stomach for 3-7 days. This internal oleation carries toxins from deep tissues into the gastrointestinal tract for elimination. The ghee is customized with herbs for your specific imbalances.
• Gentle Yoga & Breathwork: Light practices maintain circulation without creating strain.

By the end of Purvakarma, you’ll feel toxins mobilizing—you may notice increased thirst, slight nausea, or fatigue as your body prepares for deep cleansing.

This is the core Panchakarma phase where the five therapeutic procedures are administered based on your doctor’s prescription. Not everyone receives all five—your protocol is completely personalized.

What to Expect:

• Day of Cleansing Procedure: On designated days, you’ll undergo your prescribed therapy (Vamana, Virechana, or Basti). These are conducted in private treatment rooms under close medical supervision.
• Immediate Support: After each cleansing, you’re given rest time, herbal teas, and light foods to support the process. Your doctor monitors your response and adjusts the protocol as needed.
• Between Procedures: On non-cleansing days, you receive supportive therapies like Abhyanga, Nasya, or specialized treatments for your condition.
• Strict Diet Protocol: During this phase, food is extremely light and specific—usually plain rice soup or thin khichdi. This allows maximum energy for cleansing and prevents toxin reabsorption.
• Deep Rest: Physical and mental rest is essential. You’ll have minimal scheduled activities, allowing integration time.

Most guests report feeling progressively lighter, clearer, and more energized as the cleansing deepens, though some experience temporary fatigue or emotional release—all normal parts of the detoxification process.

After toxins are eliminated, your body needs careful rebuilding. This phase is crucial for long-term results.

Paschatkarma Includes:

• Rasayana (Rejuvenation) Therapies: Nourishing treatments using medicated oils, milk, butter, and herbal preparations to strengthen tissues, boost immunity (ojas), and prevent disease recurrence.
• Gradual Diet Transition: Your digestive capacity is carefully rebuilt through progressively richer foods—from rice soup to khichdi to light vegetables to normal diet over several days.
• Herbal Formulations: Specialized Ayurvedic medicines (Rasayanas) containing powerful rejuvenating herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Brahmi, Amalaki, and Guduchi are prescribed for continued strengthening.
• Therapeutic Yoga: More active practices gradually return to rebuild strength and vitality.
• Lifestyle Education: Your doctor provides detailed guidance on maintaining balance at home, including daily routines, seasonal adjustments, diet principles, and self-care practices.
