7 Day-Panchakarma
Since ancient times Ayurveda has used a cleansing program called
Panchakarma to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit on a regular basis.
The program is recommended during the change of seasons, especially
spring and fall, to support life changes or simply when detoxification
is asked for.
Panchakarma literally means "Five Actions," and traditionally
five different treatments are used to eliminate toxins from the
organs and tissues.
Before the treatments at SafronyaTM Retreat
start, the body needs to be prepared for a period of one week
at home. During this time a simple diet and digestive herbs are
recommended, and oil or ghee need to be taken in increasing amounts.
After this preparation period, the program will continue with
a week of treatments at SafronyaTM Retreat.
During this time, and once the body has been properly lubricated,
some of the traditional "five actions" will be applied to remove
toxins and excess dosha from the body.
Our Panchakarma services include:
- A highly personalized holistic health consultation (Dosha
analysis), followed by daily check-in
- Daily Yoga/pranayama class, meditation
- Foot care, abhyangha (Ayurvedic oil massage), swedana (steam
treatment)
- Simple, fresh and customized Ayurvedic meals
- Other treatments like shirodhara (oil pouring on the third
eye and forehead) and ubvartan (herbal lymphatic drainage treatment)
applied depending on your individual needs
- "Nasya," a treatment involving dropping herbal oil in the
nostrils to cleanse the sinus cavities
- "Virechana," or purgation therapy, to cleanse the small intestines
and liver/gallbladder, and "Basti," herbal and oil enemas to
both cleanse and nourish the large intestine.
Back at home, and under our guidance, you will move into a rejuvenation
phase of one more week, during which you will slowly return to
a normal Ayurvedic diet and take specific herbal preparations
and formulas to build a healthy and strong immune system.
During the whole period of the Panchakarma, including the preparation
and rejuvenation phases,you are highly recommended to keep a minimal
schedule and rest as much as possible. This is because Panchakarma
is not only about detoxifying the body, it should also be an opportunity
to cleanse yourself of mental and emotional toxins.
SafronyaTM Retreat collaborates with local
hotels and inns to provide you with the full comforts you will
need in these days.
7 days - Rates vary according to individual needs.
