What is Bliss Therapies

What is Panchakarma
Panchakarma (means 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 weakens our systems, opening the door for chronic, degenerative, and non-specific 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 condition while restoring your inherent constitutional balance of the three doshas strengthening the immune system and improving bodily functions, reducing stresses, and enhances 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 instruction 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 oileation (ingestion of ghee or oil), releasing toxins stored in the body. During the cleanse, body therapies are administered either by me in the clinic (additional cost), or you can do Abhyanga (lymphatic) massage at home (instruction and oils supplied). These facilitate the movement of toxins from the tissues and towards the colon for removal during the 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 develop your transition back to your regular life and diet and have your "Report of Findings" appointment. I will give you all pertinent Ayurvedic information, including Prakruti, Vikruti, and your Dinacharya (practices) for going forward with foods, lifestyle, the appropriate five sense therapies, herbal recommendations, etc.
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. Besides your in-person appointments, you will have unlimited phone and email support, and you are welcome to my weekly online yoga and pranayama classes at no charge.
