Pancha Karma
True health is more than freedom from disease, imbalance, and symptoms. One of the goals of Ayurveda is improving your quality of life while also increasing your longevity. As an active tradition reaching back over 3,000 years, Ayurveda and its therapies are deeply in tune with the way energies flow, grow, and heal. Ayurveda’s healing power reaches in to find the order in the disorder and to restore your access to the bliss for which you were born.
Toxicity
Poor dietary choices, lifestyle habits, seasonal changes, unresolved emotions, and stress can change the balance of our bodily energies. They inevitably disrupt the digestive fire — and ultimately result in poorly digested foods and metabolic wastes (“ama”). Accumulated ama enters the bloodstream, collects at the joints, clogs the channels, and settles in the weaker spots of the body. Emotions, information, and experiences that are not well-digested by the mind also create ama that lodges in the subconscious mind and the body’s tissues. Over time your life force, immunity, and cellular integrity are negatively affected. From this state, degeneration and disease arise as a crisis of toxicity.
Restore Balance
Pancha Karma is Ayurveda’s premier tool to reverse the disease mechanisms and root out the causes of imbalance. Pancha Karma’s process draws the ama out of the body’s cells and tissues and returns it to the lymphatic system and digestive tract to be eliminated. Pancha Karma elegantly uses the specific qualities of your constitutional body-mind type, managing the biological forces that carry ama to produce a gentle and complete purification.
Pancha Karma is for those who would like to experience a fully-supported and comprehensive program. The healing power of Pancha Karma allows for relaxation at a deep level, resulting in a deep release that promotes profound healing.
The Therapies
The process of Pancha Karma nurtures the body and consciousness so that it feels safe and calm enough to let go of the toxins that are being held. Pancha Karma encourages release through a mild diet of warm, tasty kitchari, gentle daily self-care practices, oils to s0ften the body, and — most importantly — daily relaxing Ayurvedic massage and nourishing treatments. Mental toxins are cleared from the mind with meditative practices and breathing exercises.
Our Support
Each person’s unique situation is met with an individualized program of herbs, foods, advice, and understanding. The educated support you receive during the Pancha Karma process takes the tension out of the experience so that you can deepen your level of relaxation. Clients emerge with a renewed outlook on daily habits and a vibrant feeling of peace that arises when the body, mind, and consciousness are working together in harmony.
