The word Panchakarma actually means “five treatments”, and these five therapeutic procedures are called Vamana, Virechan, Basti, Nasya, and Rakta Mokshan. Each person undergoing Panchakarma will get a uniquely designed treatment based on these five procedures, depending on his or her state of health, constitution, and special complaints.
Ayurveda Panchakarma is a serious therapy, and should be approached with an idea to surrender to the procedures. The result depends on both the person undergoing the treatments as well as the people who are providing it, which means that the work is done together by the patient and the doctor.
Who can do Panchakarma?
Anyone who is looking for maintaining a positive health, free of disease. Whether you are young or old, whether you have any specific health issues or you just want to stay healthy, Panchakarma can help. If you are suffering from a chronic disease or autoimmune disorder, Panchakarma has proved to be helpful on conditions where allopathic medicine has failed to help.
How long is the Panchakarma treatment?
Ideally, Panchakarma should be done for 21 days. But knowing that people have very demanding lives, SWAN Yoga Retreat has created three different Panchakarma packages, consisting of a minimum package of two weeks and a maximum package for four weeks. On this website, you will be able to find and book any of the three packages.
What is to be expected as a result of Panchakarma ?
If you have undergone a full four-weeks Panchakarma program, you definitely will start to see clear improvement in your health conditions. Sometimes, total reversal of disease is possible, depending on how severe the condition was to begin with. Even with the two-weeks Panchakarma package, you will already feel totally relaxed and rejuvenated.
