Our apothecary has over 50 herbs and compounds on hand and they are used accordingly in food, juices, teas, decoctions, oils, compresses, inhalations, baths and more, to assist deeply in the healing process of the individual.

Exfoliation of the skin
We blend special aromatic herbs and oils to create a paste that is scrubbed onto your skin to refresh, reconstitute and open all the pores to increase the flow of the special medicated oils used during the massage. This exfoliation in itself is a unique experience.

Massage
You will receive daily Indian massage by two practitioners working together in synchronicity. Medicated essential oil blends are made for you according to your constitutional body type. Marma point therapy balances the nervous system and the soothing massage stroking dissolves holding patterns which can cause aging. This massage is very important part of Pancha Karma, besides healing, it promotes detoxification through the lymph and the circulatory system. Aromatherapy is a recent addition to traditional herbal extracts, we use both medicated oils with the ancient ayurvedic tradition and essential oils blended according to the ayurvedic knowledge, your constitution and your imbalance, our Aromatherapy and Essential oil laboratory holds over 60 different high quality oils from different parts of the world.

Shirodhara and Medicated Oil Therapy
Focused streaming of special oils onto the forehead produces an exquisite state of transcendence, bringing balance to your emotions and mind. Patients sometimes experience lucid dreaming, past-life remembrances, or samadhi-meditative states. Special nose drops penetrate and stimulate your nervous system, awakening psychic centers. The Shirodhara is a delicious experience after the massage, healing session and chakra anointment.

Pranic Healing
During the Shirodhara, while you are in a state of surrendering and deep relaxation, after a delicious four handed massage, we will be working on your bioplasmic body field, cleansing stagnant energy or blockages on your energy centers, reenergizing accordingly each of them, removing old patterns and assisting in life development. Pranic Healing is a powerful tool and addition to our Pancha Karma in order to really heal deeply from the outside in, while the Pancha Karma cleanses and cleans from the inside out. Pranic Healing is a proactive healing system brought to the modern world by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. It could compare to Acupuncture since it works with the energy flow.

Tarpana (Forgiveness Ritual)
Using ancient breathing techniques, you are guided into a connected state for the release of ancestral patterns, held emotions, and the healing of unresolved relationships. Our thoughts about others and ourselves can age us. This ceremony gives you the opportunity to be free of limitation and turn back the clock. This is done during the 4 handed Indian Massage and it is an optional activity, we normally propose this event to happen on the last 3 days of your Pancha Karma, when you have already released a lot of blockages.

Colon Cleansing (Basti)
Cleansing of the intestinal track with herbal teas, and oils removes accumulated toxins, freeing the immune system so that rejuvenation can take place. Many natural doctors feel the colon is the source of many illnesses, Ayurveda believes that the main site of Vata (the originator energy) the colon, is the source of most illness, in Pancha Karma, the Basti is very important. We combine over 17 herbs, fresh juices and oils to make this an invaluable tool and to go deep and gentle in the cleansing of your colon.

Purgation Therapy (Virechan)
This brings about cleansing of accumulated toxins in your upper digestive track which cannot be reached by basti. By the judicious use of herbs your digestive fire is released, thereby increasing your metabolic efficiency. This is done accordingly to the Dosha’s that are imbalanced in the individual. Not every person has to do the Virechana.

Gallbladder and Liver Flush
With a special preparation and use of herbs and fasting, we can assist you in remove gallstones from your liver and gallbladder. We have assisted many people successfully in this procedure, many of them have flushed out up to 600 gallstones in one single flush. Check the pictures here. There is a lot of literature on this issue, proving the relative importance of flushing out these stones made of stagnant bile. They reduce the digestive fire and cause many problems such as high cholesterol, cardiac problems, constipation, bloatedness, hormone imbalances, irate mood and more. This is optional, but available at no extra cost. It will be require an additional easy preparation. We can send you literature on this for you to educate yourself and make an adequate decision on whether you want to experience it or not.
