PANCHAKARMA CLEANSING & REJUVENATION Panchakarma is a series of highly specialized natural cleansing and rejuvenative therapies. Offered therapies include cleansing diets, herbal oil Abhyanga massage & Shirodhara (Snehan), herbal sauna (Swedan), gentle laxatives (Virechana), enema or colon cleansing (Basti) and nasal drops (Nasya) as well as other traditional Ayurvedic procedures. You begin with a special diet including specific herbs and essential oils to use at home. These will help stimulate your digestive system and purge toxins. During Abhyanga massage, certain points where energy blockages tend to occur in the body – known as marma points – will be cleared. Each massage is traditionally followed by a sauna session to eliminate toxins. In some cases, special Ayurvedic poultices and herbal masks may also be used to enhance the cleansing process. Panchakarma sessions are wonderfully relaxing. Their healing effects can be both subtle and profound. For instance, you may begin to notice your skin and eyes glowing with renewed health and vitality. ABHYANGA (SYNCHRONIZED MASSAGE) Traditionally, Abhyanga is performed by two therapists (on both sides of the patient) in a synchronized fashion using various medicated and herbal oils. This massage is performed by two therapists to maintain the symmetry of the body. Using synchronized rhythmic movements, herbal oils are anointed on the body starting from the head to the toes. This massage assists the flow of energy through the body, helps relax tense muscles, revitalizes tired cells and aids in lymphatic drainage. SHIRODHARA Lukewarm, medicated oil flows gently over the forehead in a continuous stream using a special rhythmic swaying movement while the forehead is simultaneously massaged. Shirodhara soothes away mental stress and results in a fantastic sense of deep relaxation and inner peace. It is also highly effective in treating insomnia, headaches, neurological ailments, mental stress, anxiety and certain psychiatric diseases. This therapy may also be performed using medicated milk and buttermilk.
