Many forget that the practice of Ayurveda is thousands of years old. At the heart of traditional Indian medicine is the concept of Panchakarma. Panchakarma is a detoxification process of the body and mind, the process is intended to treat the root cause of disease, and results in the continued health and vitality of the individual. The digestive system and the mind are the two most important elements of the treated through Panchakarma. All therapies and treatments target toxins within the body and stagnicitys within the mind, the goal is to loosen them from the organs and tissues that harbor them, and then expel them from the body completely. Clients will begin their course of treatment by eating a specific diet and ingesting special herbs. Oil therapies will also be given to enhance the detoxification process. After the body has, in effect, been cleansed, a period of rejuvenation begins. Some centers offer programs as short as 8 days, while other programs last as long as a month.
Our Panchakarma therapy will begin with our own 9 Day Cleanse, formulated with whole grains and full servings of protein, packaged so that eating Ayurvedically is straight forward and simple. The Cleanse provides all the herbs and spices required for the cleanse, with the food packets already prepared. Unlike other cleansing methods, a whole-foods cleanse, aided by herbs and spices, brings about potent detoxification, yet is gentle unlike chemical, over the counter methods. Clients will cleanse for nine days, beginning on their purge day and then two days after clients will enjoy hot oil treatments to boost the detoxification process and relax the mind.
Day 1 of treatments: Abhyanga and Shirodhara
An Abhyanga is the Ayurvedic form of massage, it is the application of warm oil to the body to eliminate excess water and fat deposits, purify the blood and tissues of toxins, strengthen and rejuvenate and to nurture strength and balance within the body.
Shirodhara treatments can be deeply therapeutic, and are known to rejuvenate the spirit and reinvigorate the body. The goal is to bring about emotional and physical balance through the methodical application of medicated oil to this center point of the forehead.
Day 2 of treatments: Shirodhara and Heart Basti
The day will begin with a Basti, or dough dam will be applied to the center of the chest over the heart. Oilinfused with a special blend of herbs will be poured into the dam and allowed to sit for a period of time. During which, the oil will absorb stagnant emotions and clear emotional blockages. Healing touch treatment will start after the basti is in place to remove stagnation, open energy channels and to ground the body. After the basti is removed a Shirodhara will be given to amplify the effects of the heart basti and energy work.

Day three’s treatment is designed to enhance all five of the body’s senses.
