Традиционная аюрведическая практика Панчакарма обеспечивает наиболее естественное и при этом полное очищение организма. Это идеальный метод детоксикации и омоложения ума и тела. Вид на святую реку Ганг у подножия Гималаев создает идиллическую обстановку для целостного очищения. Программа Панчакарма рассчитана на 21 ночь и проходит 3 этапа. Для тех, кто ограничен по времени, программа Панчакармы может быть собрана в более короткой версии на 14 дней.
The first stage is Purvakarma or pre-purification measures.
Before purification begins, there is a need to prepare the body with prescribed methods to encourage it to let go of the toxins. The program starts with improving digestion both at the cellular and gastrointestinal level through digestive juice stimulants (dipana), and digestants (pachana). This is followed by Snehapana or consumption of medicated ghee for three to seven days in different doses depending on strength and nature of an individual. In the shorter 14-night program, Sadhyo-snehapana includes 1 or 2 days with fixed dosage of medicated ghee. Next is Snehana which is the application of oil to the entire body with a massage technique that helps toxins move towards the gastrointestinal tract. Alongside this is Svedana or therapeutic sweating and is given every day following the Snehana.
The second stage consists of cleansing Panchakarma processes
which includes Vamana - emesis, Virechana - purgation, Basti – oil and decoction enema and finally Nasya - elimination of toxins through the nasal passage.
The third stage is Paschatkarma
which focusses on special diets to rest and rejuvenate the cleansed system, along with natural herbal remedies to replenish the digestive enzymes and immune system. Lifestyle changes are prescribed following return from Ananda.
Panchakarma is a very special Ayurvedic procedure and requires proper guidance from a highly trained and skilful Ayurvedic practitioner. At Ananda, Panchakarma is performed under the supervision of our expert Ayurvedic Doctors and customised for each guest with their specific constitution in mind.
Please note:
Ananda’s Panchakarma programme together with Yoga and Meditation is not only a physical detox but also an emotional and mental cleansing process. This is an intensive programme, with strict restrictions but tangible end benefits, so for the most effective results guests are advised to adhere to the schedule and dietary restrictions as prescribed by the Ayurvedic Doctor.
There are periods within the programme when guests may experience weakness, low energy levels and mood swings. In case of strong occurrence of these or other issues like fever, flu or loose bowels, the programme will be paused, and resumed when symptom pass. The treatments may be adjusted accordingly, however this will be as per the doctors’ recommendations only.
