Panchakarma Cleanse Retreat
Panchakarma literally means 'Five Actions' and traditionally includes five different treatments used to remove excess dosha and toxins from the body’s tissues and mind, and restore energy flow through the whole body. This ancient Ayurvedic ritual is deeply rejuvenating. It maintains and promotes wellbeing and restores balance in a state of dis-ease. Pain, and discomfort are greatly reduced and might disappear. Panchakarma is recommended during the change of seasons, especially spring and fall, to support life changes, and simply when detoxification is asked for, in chronic and degenerative disease. For health maintenance it is recommended once a year.

Before these treatments are administered, the body needs to be prepared. This will happen at home, where you will enjoy a quiet time, a simple and wholesome diet, take digestive herbs, and give yourself a daily oil massage. Then you will continue with therapies at Marin Ayurveda, where you will receive a warm herbal oil massage, shirodhara, and steam treatment daily to mobilize toxins from your body's tissues. We will complement the protocol with other therapies, such as kati basti, netra basti, or ubvartan, depending on your unique needs. The cleansing treatments will be administered as the body shows it is ready. You will receive “virechana” or purgation therapy, “basti” or enema therapy, and “nasya”, nasal therapy. The program might include yoga and meditation, and you will always receive simple, nutritious meals. After all the treatments you will move into a rejuvenation phase, at home, to slowly integrate into regular life. This means slowly reintroducing foods you won’t have eaten for a while and activities you haven’t engaged in. You will also be taking some herbal preparations and/or specific foods to build a healthy and strong body and immune system.

You are highly recommended to engage in life as little as you can and rest as much as you can. Panchakarma is a great opportunity to eliminate mental and emotional toxins alongside the physical ones, and this can only be achieved if you allow little stimulation and a lot of time for reflection.

The price for this program of 3, 4 or 5 days with treatments by two therapists is $450 per day, including meals. We meet daily for about 3.5 hours.

* A consultation (included in the price) prior to this retreat will be necessary to determine whether this retreat is suitable for you.

I much enjoyed working with Simone over my 5 day panchakarma. I found that her directions for the self-directed portions were clear and easy to follow. The office visits in the middle of the program were the highlight for me and I appreciated all of the information and personal attention she provided to me. In general it was a wonderful and relaxing time out from my usual routine and Simone provided me with a fresh perspective on how I can better manage my lifestyle moving forward. The fact that Simone has made a point of touching base with me in the ensuing months since my cleanse is a testament to her interest in her clients and her belief in the benefits of Ayurveda. I look forward to working with her again. - Dave, Sonoma CA

When my doctor at UC San Francisco recommended I approach my medical issues from the Ayurvedic perspective, including panchakarma, I was very fortunate to find Simone and be under her care. Her knowledge and skills in Ayurveda continue to be very beneficial to me. The panchakarma was a great experience, and I plan to do another one soon. - Phyllis, Novato CA

Based on your specific needs and following the panchakarma protocol, a cleanse can be custom designed for you, and will be supported and guided by Marin Ayurveda.

Cost: $195 and up, depending on the amount of therapies you would like to receive.

Simone's cleanse was supported bliss. I experienced no headaches, which was a previous problem in home and spa cleanses that I had done.
