Panchakarma

Welcome back!
Cleanse your body, lose weight, and be healthier!
Panchakarma is a pre-treatment used as a part of Ayurveda to cleanse the body of toxins by combining five therapies each designed specifically for the client. Ayurveda has existed for over 2,000 years and originated in India. This therapy acknowledges the union of the body, mind, and spirit to create a balanced individual. A nice side effect is weight loss because your body is naturally balanced and working at its optimal health.
According to this ancient healing system, people are categorized into three body types: kapha, pitta and vata. Each person requires a different diet and lifestyle for optimal health. A practitioner concludes which body type a client is and determines what imbalances, if any, the client is experiencing.
The therapy essentially starts off the client with a clean slate. Herbs and oils are specifically made for each client and is massaged into the body during the therapy. Other treatments include: warm oil poured over the forehead, a sweat treatment, gentle enema, and oil is placed in the nostrils. From then on, the client follows the proper lifestyle and diet for her body type.
