Panchakarma is a rejuvenating healing experience that works to detoxify the body, strengthen the immune system, and restore balance.
A Personalized Touch
Authentic Ayurveda treatments offered during panchakarma help replenish and nourish muscles, body tissues, and organs. Panchakarma is a gentle detox system and functions as one of the most effective healing modalities of Ayurveda. The wisdom of Ayurveda teaches that a detox should be specific to a person’s constitution; Ayurveda does not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach. The oils and treatments used are all created to be specific to each patient’s unique constitution, or dosha.
Abhyanga
This warm-oil massage utilizes specialized herbs customized for each patient’s individual constitution. This warm-oil massage helps relieve fatigue, increase mental alertness, enhance complexion, increase circulation, and remove tension, pain, and stress. All of these benefits will help to strengthen the immune system. Abhyanga massages are also an excellent way to start releasing toxins from the body.
Shirodhara
This treatment involves gently pouring warm oil over the forehead. The name comes from the Sanskrit words shiro (head) and dhara (flow). This warm stream of oil will calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, as well as help with insomnia, headaches, and sinus congestion.
Enliven the Senses
Rejuvenate the sense organs with specifically designed, gentle treatments for the nose, ears, and eyes. These healing therapies are effective in remedying colds, allergies, sinus congestion, dry and red eyes, and itchy ears.
Ayurvedic Facial
Cleanse, tone, and rejuvenate the skin with this luxurious treatment. What makes this relaxing session so transforming for clients is the use of “marma,” or vital energy, points. These marma points are found all over the body, but are particularly concentrated on the face, neck, and upper chest. Marmas mobilize the light energy in the body, restoring a youthful glow and natural radiance. Combining organic aromatic creams, a gentle balancing touch, stimulating scalp and ear massage, and a loving attitude, most patients find this treatment to be as balancing and energizing as a full-body massage.
Pedi-Karma
This gentle and sensitive healing foot therapy uses infused herbal oil to relax and heal. The entire body, including internal organs, can be accessed via nerve endings in the foot. A special three-metal tool is used for this treatment: copper relieves pain, inflammation and arthritis; zinc boosts the immune system, digestion and is good for diabetes; tin relieves headaches and insomnia. Pedi-Karma relieves stress, improves circulation, relieves insomnia and depression, reduces swelling, relieves restless leg syndrome, and brings circulation to cold or tingly feet.
