The Five Primal Detox Actions (Panchakarma)
-
Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): Targeted at Kapha imbalances, this therapy clears the respiratory and upper digestive tract, helping with conditions like asthma and chronic skin issues.
-
Virechana (Purgation Therapy): A controlled cleansing of the liver and gallbladder to eliminate excess Pitta (heat) from the blood and digestive system.
-
Basti (Medicated Enema): Known as the "Mother of all treatments," Basti manages Vata disorders. We offer both Kashaya (herbal decoction) and Sneha (oil-based) enemas to nourish and detoxify the colon.
-
Nasya (Nasal Administration): The application of medicated oils through the nostrils to clear the sinuses and enhance mental clarity. It is considered the gateway to the head and nervous system.
-
Raktamokshana (Bloodletting): A specialized procedure to cleanse the blood of impurities, often used for chronic skin conditions and localized inflammatory issues.
