What is Panchakarma Retreat

Panchakarma retreat is a set of five therapeutic treatments undertaken for the complete detoxification of the body. According to Ayurveda, it is essential before starting any other major therapies. Even for healthy persons it is advised to undertake this treatment once in five years – to throw out all the impurities and chemical toxins from the body. For some people Panchakarma retreat alone can cure many chronic diseases and doesn’t require any more treatments.

How’s the Treatment?

Pre-purification preparations (Purvakarma)

Before the actual purification begins, there is a need to prepare the body in prescribed methods to encourage the body to release toxins. We use two procedures for this: Snehana and Swedana.

Snehana is the massage with special herbal oils. Oil is applied to the entire body with a particular type of massage to move the toxins towards the gastro-intestinal tract. Oil massage also makes the superficial and deep tissues soft and supple, thus helping to remove stress and to nourish the nervous system. Snehana is given daily for three to seven days, as indicated.

Swedana is sudation or sweating and is given every day immediately following the Snehana. An herbal concoction may be added to the steam to further loosen the toxins from the individual. Swedana liquefies the toxins and increases the movement of toxins into the gastro-intestinal tract.

Main Purification process (Pradhanakarma)

Vamana: Vomiting Therapy

When there is congestion in the lungs causing repeated attacks of bronchitis, colds, cough or asthma, the Ayurvedic treatment is therapeutic vomiting – Vamana, to eliminate the Kapha which is causing the excess mucus.

Virechana: Purgation Therapy

When excess bile, Pitta, is secreted and accumulated in the gall bladder, liver and small intestine, it tends to result in rashes, skin inflammation, acne, chronic attacks of fever, vomiting, nausea and jaundice. Ayurvedic literature suggests in these conditions the administration of therapeutic purgation or a therapeutic laxative.

Nasya: Nasal Administration

The nose is the doorway to the brain and it is also the doorway to life-force. The nasal administration of medication is called Nasya. An excess of bodily humors accumulated in the sinus, throat, nose or head areas is eliminated by means of the nearest possible opening, the nose.

Basti: Enema Therapy

Vata’s predominant site is the colon. Ayurvedic Basti involves the introduction into the rectum of herbal concoctions of sesame oil, and certain herbal preparations in a liquid medium. It relieves constipation, digestion, chronic fever, cold, sexual disorders, kidney stones, heart pain, backache, sciatica and other pains in the joints. Many other Vata disorders such as arthritis, rheumatism, gout, muscle spasms and headaches may also be treated with Basti. The enemas are done with both medicated oils and decoctions.

The above mentioned treatment plan is the general Panchakarma retreat therapy for a normal healthy person. However, our doctor will have to check your past medical history and diagnose your present health condition, before finalizing a right treatment plan for you.

We believe that one should train the mind to tune into nature before looking through the corridors of one’s own life. When residing in such an exceptionally peaceful and privileged environment, our minds are able to experience perfect stillness, which then enables us to tune into the surrounding sounds of nature and feel the unity with all that is. The music from the chirping birds, the whistle of the wind blowing through the smallest blades of grass and the scent of the wildflowers in bloom are just a few of Mother Natures’ many gifts that will be teasing your senses at the Udayagiri Mountain Retreat.

Taking in the sun up in the mountains is always beneficial to the body, mind and soul and all living beings depend on the sun’s rays for vital life energy or Prana. The sun’s heat penetrates the body, removing physical, mental and spiritual weaknesses, keeping it healthy and long-lived. The sun is also instrumental in balancing the body’s 3 Doshas and curing ailments of the heart and eyes, jaundice, leprosy and weak mind
