Panchakarma

Detox for body and mind       

Panchakarma is an Ayurvedic cleansing process that ultimately purifies all body tissues and systems at a very deep level. Panchakarma removes excess Ama (toxins) and corrects Dosha imbalances. It also eliminates any harmful toxins out of your system through the body’s organs and channels of elimination (colon, sweat glands, lungs, bladder, urinary tract, stomach and intestines). The entire process is tailored to meet your unique needs and to treat specific imbalances and build up of toxins in your body.
