Ayurvedic treatments

Panchakarma is regarded as the classic Ayurvedic detox treatment. It is also the most extreme. Five independent cleansing processes simultaneously ensure a radical detox. The aim is to ensure that the organism’s vital energies can flow freely again. At the same time, the three doshas are also restored to their natural equilibrium. This enhances the patient’s sense of well-being. And it also helps the body’s own defences to combat lots of different illnesses. Many people choose to undergo a regular Ayurvedic detox therapy.

Panchakarma: the cornerstone of Ayurvedic therapy

The term Panchakarma literally means "five actions". In Ayurveda this means the five detox procedures. All of these ensure that foreign toxins and pathogens are eliminated from the body. The term "purging" is also sometimes used.

This body purification process also restores the doshas to their natural equilibrium. The cleansing treatment is usually accompanied by oil applications, massage, therapeutic steam baths and Ayurveda compliant meals.

Today's lifestyles almost inevitably mean that our bodies are exposed to substances they are not equipped to deal with, or which are even toxic for us. If our organism is overburdened with these kinds of toxic substances, they can begin to accumulate with a detrimental impact on our health and well-being. In addition, it is common for there to be a build-up of metabolic products that have not been adequately broken down; these are also known as "Ama" in Ayurvedic medicine.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, these kinds of toxins and residues effectively clog up vital physical channels, thus inhibiting the free flow of energy through the body. The consequence is that our equilibrium is disturbed and illnesses can develop. It is no coincidence that there is frequent mention of "lifestyle diseases"; after all, the connection with our lifestyle is absolutely obvious. So a Panchakarma treatment aims to liberate the body from toxins and residues that have accumulated over time.
