Panchakarma

Every day most of us are subjected to a multitude of factors that are detriment to a healthy body and mind. These include stress at the workplace or personal stress, unhealthy nutrition, physical inactivity and environmental pollution. All of these factors have negative effects on both body and mind and can lead to physical and mental illness. To reduce and reverse the damage caused in our physiology, it is of utmost importance to remove these disease causing factors from our body through various detoxification protocols. In Ayurveda the most effective protocol of detoxification and purification is called Panchakarma. At Amrtasiddhi Ayurvedic Health Centre you can experience authentic Panchakarma cures that remove disease causing factors from your body and rejuvenate you from deep within.

According to Ayurveda, the prime cause for the development of diseases are toxins, or ama. They can create imbalances and malfunctions on a celluar level in our digestive system, our endocrine system, or circulatory system and many other areas of our physiology, which eventually express as disease. Toxins have to be understood as substances and bioenergetic factors that should not be in your body and thus have to be removed.

This is the prime purpose of Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatments. They are ways of cleansing the body on a deep level and by doing so, they help cure and prevent a variety of diseases. Diseases that can be cured or ameliorated by Panchakarma include metabolic disorders like diabetes, PCOD, endometriosis, cardiovascular disorders, skin diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergies, arthritis and many more. Panchakarma also alleviates a variety of problems related to inflammation and is said to play a key role in the prevention of the development of cancer.

Of course, we should not wait until we are faced with a serious health problem. That is why Panchakarma treatments are as much recommended for preventing diseases as they are for curing diseases. As we remove imbalances from our body through Panchakarma, we allow our physiology to establish a functional equilibrium that provides ample of energy and a clear mind to enable us to go into the world and to express our full potential. As we begin to engage in this process, a sense of purpose and fulfillment develops, and with that, the quality of our life improves significantly.

The purification process achieved through Panchakarma is brought about by both internal and external treatments.

Internal cleansing is achieved during a Panchakarma process by administering herbal medications in conjunction with ghee, or clarified butter, as well as enemas, laxatives, emetics and cleansing actions that involve the nose and throat. The specific ways of cleansing are different from individual to individual and depend on the type of imbalance that needs treating. Internal cleansing is combined with external treatments to achieve better results. These are mainly herbal steam baths, body massages like Abhyanga and oil treatments like Shirodhara and Pizhichil.

Internal and external treatments work hand in hand and cannot be separated during a Panchakarma procedure. The whole process takes a minimum of 8 days with a preparatory phase, the main phase and a post-detox phase. At Amrtasiddhi Ayurvedic Centre, we offer Panchakarma Programs that are between 12 and 28 days in length.
