Panchakarma Therapies

What is Detoxification & Rejuvenation

Purification is the process of removing toxic substances and contaminants or making something spiritually or ceremonially clean, and rejuvenation is the process of giving new energy or vigor.

 

What is Bliss Therapies

Bliss Therapies include all body working modalities that rejuvenate and nourish the body, mind, and soul. Done individually or as a package, they include Abhyanga (oil massage), Shirodhara (mind calming treatment), Nasya "Nasal & Respiratory Treatment) and Svedhana (herbal steam tent) remove toxins (Ama) and brings the body, mind, and spirit into a deep place of stillness, or restoration. 

 

What is Panchakarma 

Panchakarma (meaning five actions) is the Ayurvedic system of detoxifying, nourishing, and restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit.  In a busy, stressful, and toxic world, our physical and mental systems accumulate toxins, which eventually weaken our systems, opening the door for chronic, degenerative, and nonspecific diseases to develop, which can evolve into specific severe conditions, ultimately damaging an individual's health and wellness.  

​

Panchakarma (PK) reverses these adverse effects by eliminating toxins and toxic conditions while restoring your inherent constitutional balance of the three doshas, strengthening the immune system, improving bodily functions, reducing stress, and enhancing energy, vitality, and mental clarity.

10-Day Panchakarma- $950 (Body Therapies Additional)

Your ten-day cleanse program begins with an initial consultation followed by a kitchari class and instructions for all practices you perform at home during your cleanse. The first few days are allocated for pre-cleansing (preparation), adjusting your diet, and scheduling during your ten-day cleanse. This is followed by three days of internal oilation (ingestion of ghee or oil), which releases toxins stored in the body. During the cleanse, body therapies are administered either by me in the clinic (at an additional cost) or you can perform Abhyanga (lymphatic) massage at home (instructions and oils are supplied). These facilitate the movement of toxins from tissues to the colon for removal during purgation. You complete your cleanse at home by administering internal bastis (medicated enemas) that remove excess Vata dosha while rehydrating and rejuvenating the body. 

 

At the end of your cleanse, we meet to discuss your transition back to your regular life and diet, and you will have your "Report of Findings" appointment.  I will provide you with all pertinent Ayurvedic information, including Prakruti, Vikruti, and your Dinacharya (daily practices) for managing your diet, lifestyle, and the appropriate five sense therapies, as well as herbal recommendations.

 

All supplies (except fresh vegetables) are furnished, including moong beans, basmati rice, medicated and cooking ghee, your doshic spice blend, herbal detox formulas, medicinal cleansing tea, nasya, and abhyanga oil, a cleansing aromatherapy mister, and basti supplies. You will be supplied with a personalized notebook with in-depth instructions, schedules, recipes, and supporting documents. In addition to your in-person appointments, you will have access to unlimited phone and email support. You are also welcome to attend my weekly online yoga and pranayama classes at no extra charge.

Your bliss day begins with a ninety-minute warm oil Abhyanga massage, which helps move toxins out of the tissues and relaxes the body. Next, "Nasya" (nasal treatment) cleanses the nasal passages, lubricates the sinuses, and moisturizes the respiratory system. This is followed by Shirodhara treatment, which involves streaming warm, medicated oil over the third eye region on the forehead, quieting the mind and bringing calmness and balance.  Finally, you finish with a medicated steam tent session, which aids in the removal of toxins and allows the oils to integrate naturally into the body.
