This procedure first involves a visit to a qualified Ayurvedic doctor. Panchakarma is a 10/14 day Ayurvedic cleansing and detox program designed to cleanse and purify the body.

Ayurveda can be defined as a traditional system of natural medicine to place more emphasis on regular yoga practice (dinacharya) and daily routine to prevent disease rather than to treat health problems and body, mind, spirit and environment. The main basis of Ayurveda is on the concepts of five elements (Panchamahabhutas) constitute all universal interconnectedness, the constitution of the body (prakriti) and the life forces (dosha). The goals of the treatment are to eliminate impurities, reduce symptoms, increase resistance to disease, reduce worries and increase harmony in life. Common herbs, plants, oils and spices are used extensively in Ayurvedic treatments.
