WHAT IS PANCHAKARMA?

Discover the profound healing and rejuvenation of Panchakarma Treatment at Ayur Village Retreat, an embodiment of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. Panchakarma is a bespoke program meticulously crafted to cleanse and revitalize not only the body but also the mind and consciousness.

Our approach is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles, acknowledging the unique constitution of each individual shaped by the fundamental elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. These elements harmoniously give rise to the tridoshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – representing the delicate balance within.

In cases where this doshic equilibrium is disrupted, leading to disorders and ailments, Panchakarma serves as a personalized remedy. At Ayur Village Retreat, our practitioners closely observe and supervise each individual's treatment, taking into account their specific constitution and health concerns.

The journey begins with pre-purification measures, including Snehan (oleation) and Svedana (sweating), paving the way for the application of cleansing methods known as Shodanas. This tailored approach ensures a holistic and effective cleansing, promoting overall well-being.

Embark on a transformative experience with Panchakarma at Ayur Village Retreat, where ancient wisdom meets individualized care for a harmonious and rejuvenated you.
