What is Panchakarma Treatment?

Panchakarma Treatment is an ancient method of detoxification from Ayurveda. In the word Panchakarma, Pancha means five, and karma means actions or treatments. This indicates the treatment involves five steps to cleanse the body and restore health.

This specialised therapy targets toxins in the body that are believed to trigger many illnesses and disrupt normal body balance. Panchakarma eliminates these harmful toxins and enhances the body's immunity against diseases.

It involves a number of steps based on individual health needs. It starts with a preliminary consultation with an expert Ayurvedic practitioner who assesses the health status and identifies imbalances in specific energies/doshas of the body. Based on this assessment, the practitioner prescribes a combination of dietary changes, herbal remedies, and the five specific actions or procedures: oil massages, steam baths, cleansing enemas, purgation and nasal administrations.

Why Panchakarma Treatment?

Panchakarma Treatment is an Ayurvedic detox treatment to cleanse the body. Due to pollution from the environment, unhealthy diets and stressful lifestyles, toxins build up inside the body. These toxins can lead to health issues including fatigue and stress to chronic diseases. Panchakarma helps to detox the body, rids the body of these toxins and rejuvenates the mind and body.

Here are the main reasons to consider Panchakarma Treatment:

  • Deep Detoxification: Cleans the body of toxins that cause illness.
  • Stress Reduction: Provides relaxation techniques to relieve stress and bring mental clarity.
  • Boosts Immunity: Improves the body's natural defences against diseases.
  • Improved Digestion: Helps restore digestive function and efficiency.
  • Complete Rejuvenation: Revitalises the body's energy and promotes complete wellness.
  • Prevention of Diseases: Prevents disease by maintaining proper balance of body energies.

Are you experiencing any of the following health concerns?

  • Chronic fatigue or constant tiredness
  • Persistent stress or anxiety
  • Migraines or severe, recurrent headaches
  • Digestive issues, such as bloating or indigestion
  • Skin problems, like eczema or acne
  • Insomnia or disturbed sleep patterns
  • Respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic cough
  • Joint pain or stiffness

If you answered yes to any of these, Panchakarma Treatment might be beneficial for you. At Jiva Ayurveda, we personalise Panchakarma Treatments based on your unique needs for maximum therapeutic benefits.

What's Involved in a Panchakarma Treatment Session?

Panchakarma Treatment is a cleansing process that detoxifies and restores the health of body and mind. This traditional Ayurvedic therapy works in a number of steps that systematically restore the body's balance and vitality.

This is what happens in a Panchakarma Treatment session:

First Consultation: An Ayurvedic practitioner assesses your health, lifestyle and medical history to find the suitable course of treatment.
Purvakarma (Preparatory Procedures): Preparatory steps like oil massages and steam baths are done to soften and mobilise toxins in the body before the main treatment.
Pradhana Karma (Main Procedures): This includes the five actions of Panchakarma - vomiting, purgation, enema, nasal administration and bloodletting - selected according to your doshic imbalances.
Dietary Guidelines: Specific dietary restrictions and guidelines to help with detoxification.
Post-Treatment Advice: Lifestyle and dietary recommendations to maintain treatment benefits.
Follow Up: Monitoring and further treatments or adjustments as required after the session.

Panchakarma sessions last anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the individual’s health status and kind of treatment chosen. The process is thorough and aims at long-term health advantages.

How is Panchakarma Treatment Performed by Jiva Experts?

At Jiva Ayurveda, Panchakarma Treatment is performed by Ayurvedic therapists trained in traditional detoxification methods. Each Panchakarma session begins with a thorough assessment by one of our Ayurvedic doctors.

Paschat Karma (Post-Treatment Care): After the main procedures, you will be guided on diet and lifestyle changes to consolidate the detoxification and guarantee long-term benefits.
