What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is an ancient Ayurvedic detoxification process that includes a combination of therapeutic treatments designed to purify the body from toxins, support organ function, and balance the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). It is an essential part of holistic wellness and is offered in four stages:
Purvakarma
Pre-treatment preparation
Panchakarma
Main purification phase
Paschatkarma
Post-treatment care
