Discover Panchakarma, Ayurveda's Deep and Gentle Detox & Rejuvenation Program in Asheville, North Carolina

Panchakarma therapy room at Blue Lotus Ayurveda, Asheville, NC

Ayurveda defines health as the state where the digestive fire (agni) is in a balanced condition; the three doshas are in equilibrium; the waste products are produced and eliminated normally; all the tissues are functioning properly; and the mind, senses and consciousness are working harmoniously together. Ayurveda states that when the balance of any of these aspects is disturbed, the disease process begins.

Why You Need Panchakarma According to Ayurveda

Any aggravation of the doshas affects agni (the digestive fire) and produces ama (toxins). Ama enters the blood stream and circulates throughout the body, clogging the channels and tissues. This accumulated toxicity will slowly affect the vital life energy (prana), the immunity (ojas) and the cellular metabolic energy (tejas), and result in disease. So, ama is the basic internal cause of all ailments, and it is due to the aggravation of vata, pitta, or kapha. According to Ayurveda, the key to optimal health is to help the body eliminate toxins and reestablish the balance of the doshas. For such purpose, Ayurveda offers various cleansing and rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapies along with an individual Ayurvedic regime that includes herbal nutrition and a specific diet and lifestyle.

Panchakarma: the Foremost Purification & Rejuvenation Therapy

Panchakarma reverses the mechanisms that carry toxic waste products from the digestive tract into all the other tissues of the body. In other words, it reverses the movement of ama, bringing it back to the digestive tract, and then gently expels it from the body. Furthermore, it manages the doshas according to your individual constitution (and dosha imbalance). In this sense it is unique, since it is tailored to meet your individual needs.

The name Panchakarma comes from the Sanskrit words panch, which means "five," and karma, which means "action." The name thus incorporates the five primary actions or procedures used in Ayurveda to purify the body —vamana, nasya, virechan, raktamokshana and basti. Each of these procedures addresses a specific imbalance of the doshas and the ama that forms as a result. For a detailed description of all Panchakarma therapies, please refer to: Panchakarma: Cleansing and Rejuvenating Therapy.

Panchakarma treatments in Asheville, NC - Ayurveda Panchakarma detox program

"Advised by a Sacred Astrologer to seek Panchakarma detoxification treatment, I searched for an ayurvedic practitioner in the Asheville area. Blue Lotus Ayurveda offered a complete program at 1/3 the cost of Maharishi Spa prices! Initial consultation and preparation, 5-day intensive treaments and education, and 2-week follow-up rejuvenation coaching-- all revealed the impressive knowledge and skill of Vishnu Dass. Kudos to the extremely professional-yet-personal staff at Blue Lotus. I've adopted a self-care regimine leading to decreased physical symptomology, increased energy, and weight loss... Couldn't be happier with the results!"

Panchakarma - A Specialized Ayurvedic Treatment

Panchakarma is a specialized Ayurvedic procedure requiring proper guidance and supervision from a clinically trained Ayurvedic practitioner. It should not be undertaken only from information on this web site or any other article or book. Panchakarma is done on a case-by-case basis with your specific individual constitution and state of health in mind, and it requires close observation and supervision.

We offer a "One Day Panchakarma Sampler," as well as Ayurvedic therapies and Ayurvedic Day Spa packages that will not trigger as deep a detoxification process as a full Panchakarma would, and yet are nurturing, cleansing and rejuvenating enough to give you a taste of what Panchakarma can be like.

Schedule a Panchakarma Program in Asheville, by the Blue Ridge Mountains

You may choose between a 5-day Panchakarma or a 7-day Panchakarma, and add additonal days up to a 10-day Panchakarma. Of course, the longer the program, the more you will benefit, but you can make a choice depending on your time and budget.
