Panchakarma, the Ultimate Rejuvenator

Panchakarma is a beautiful process, from the Ayurvedic system of medicine, for cleansing, balancing and rejuvenating body, mind and spirit. It is traditionally used to treat disease. But only if the patient is strong enough to receive that strong of a purification. Otherwise their symptoms are pacified through lifestyle and dietary measures and herbal supplements. Long ago panchakarma was the royal treatment to rejuvenate the king and the queen. Nowadays we can all benefit from this nourishing and healing treatment which much improves aches and pains, energy level, a feeling of malaise, brain fog, virility and immunity. It has the potential of adding years to your life and of improving the quality of your years.

Panchakarma means "five actions", which represents five different protocols to balance and rejuvenate the body's tissues and physiology. Not all of these five actions are needed and will be administered based

on particular symptoms of imbalance. ​This will be determined when you visit your practitioner. In order to be guided through these actions and prepare your body for letting go of what isn't needed, you will receive hours of massage and other treatments with oils and herbs to move the toxins from your deeper tissues.

It is important to allow space in your schedule when going through panchakarma. Rest and empty space in your day are an important part of panchakarma. When there is space and emptiness in your life, it will be experienced in your mind and body, and healing starts to happen. Toxicity, stagnation and trauma will surface and panchakarma supports their elimination. To let go of mental and emotional toxins it is highly recommended to meditate and cultivate the 'witness' state, so that old and not serving emotions and patterns can consciously be let go of. The result often is a spiritual rejuvenation - deeper levels of trust and more ease in surrendering to what life brings. To support letting go of physical toxins, melted ghee is ingested, which causes mobilization of toxins, that are mostly lipid-(fat)-soluble, from your body's tissues.
