Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s primary
purification and detoxification treatment. Panchakarma means “five therapies”.
These 5 therapeutic treatments that help in eliminating toxins from the body
are: Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamoskshana. The series of these
five therapies help remove deep rooted stress and illness-causing toxins from
the body while balancing the doshas (energies that govern all biological
functions).
Before conducting any Panchakarma
treatments, your body is well prepared/conditioned by massages, ghee drinking
and steam therapy (pre-PK therapies last between 3-10 days)
Depending on the condition of each
individual, PK therapies are chosen and prescribed for best results. Minimum
stay is 3 weeks for optimum results. We also offer Mini PK for 2 weeks.
Vamana is a medicated emesis therapy
which removes Kapha toxins collected in the body and the respiratory tract.
This is given to people with high Kapha imbalance. Daily treatment involves
loosening and mobilizing the toxins in an effort to finally eliminate them.
Please note that Coonoor is in rural
India and the infrastructure is not as developed as in the west countries.
However, it is part of the unique experience of Incredible India and that is
why most people choose to come here!

Basti (Enema) is considered as the
mother of all Panchakarma treatments. It cleanses the accumulated toxins from
all the 3 doshas :Vata, Pitta and Kapha, through the colon. Basti is also
highly beneficial as a rejuvenating treatment. Medicated oils and herbal
decoction is administered as enema to clean the colon and increase the muscle

offer Raktamokshana due to the high risk of infection involved in blood
cleansing.
