Panchakarma therapy is an ancient practice that is very powerful to reset the body. As the name says Pancha means five actions which incude therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti or Vasti, Nasyam and Rakthamokshana. It is an Ayurvedic detox therapy that takes about three weeks or longer depending on the individual. It consists of three phases: Preparation, Detox, and Post-therapy.
Panchakarma is costlier than regular Ayurvedic treatment because it is an intense therapy that lasts for 3 weeks or more. It is tailored to suit different individuals based on their doshas, condition, and age. Every individual receives an oil concoction that is made according to their bodies.
The cost covers the stay at an Ayurvedic wellness center with round-the-clock care, food, and everything else. Moreover, Panchakarma requires adjustment mid-therapy to cater to individual needs, expensive oil therapies, and the cost of trained Ayurvedic practitioners.
During a full Panchakarma detox, the first 2-5 days are all about the preparation to remove toxins from the body. It includes internal and external oleation, steam therapy, and a simple diet. The next detox phase spans for another 5-7 days where various therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Rakta Mokshana are done. After a full Panchakarma detox, you can expect to experience more mental clarity, improved vitality, and energy. It also helps in reducing inflammation and removing toxins, and destressing.
A full Panchakarma can take from 7 to 21 days depending on the individual, the Ayurvedic hospital and the mental strength.
Panchakarma can be avoided by the following:
No, Panchakarma is not recommended for those with a weak body because the process is intense. If you have frail health, you are already running low on energy, which makes it difficult to follow through the various therapies. Going for Panchakarma may lead to negative consequences for the body.
