About Panchakarma

Panchakarma therapy is India’s ancient science a detoxification and rejuvenation. These specialized procedures are performed by our knowledgeable and highly trained staff of Panchakarma specialists, under the direct supervision of Dr. Vishnu Dass. Panchakarma is designed to free up and release impurities/toxins from the deep tissues, organs and channels of the body, thereby supporting overall health and healing.

Ayurveda defines health as the state where the digestive fire is optimal; the body constitution is balanced; the waste products are produced and eliminated normally; and the body, mind, emotions, and spirit are in harmony and at peace. This definition of health is the primary aim of Panchakarma.

The Benefits of Receiving Panchakarma Treatment

Due to the stress of our modern lifestyle, environmental toxicity, dietary factors and preexisting conditions, the body accumulates toxins on a physical as well as mental level. These toxins eventually clog and obstruct the organs, tissues and channels, thereby inhibiting their normal function and contributing to the disease process.

Panchakarma: The Ancient Art of Purification & Rejuvenation 

Panchakarma reverses the mechanisms that carry toxins from the digestive tract into all of the other tissues of the body. In other words, it reverses this movement of metabolic wastes, bringing them back to the digestive tract and other organs of elimination, to be safely and effectively expelled from the body. This process is tailored to your individual needs and the healing benefits of this method of cleansing, has profound and long lasting effects on the body, mind and spirit.

The name Panchakarma comes from the Sanskrit word panch, which means “five” and karma, which means “action.” The name thus incorporates five primary actions or procedures used in Ayurveda to purify the body. These actions assist the body in its natural functions for eliminating toxins and are chosen specific to the condition and one’s constitutional needs.
