Panchakarma

Panchakarma is the core of Ayurvedic therapies. "Pancha" means five and so it is a set of five cleansing and eliminating treatments. The aim is

• to purify the body, ridding it of toxic elements
• to build up the body’s own immune systems, thereby increasing its natural ability to fight disease
• and to rejuvenate the body.

So panchakarma treatments are used to both treat most chronic and deep-seated ailments as well as to reinforce good health.
