Ayurveda teaches that vibrant health depends upon our body’s ability to metabolize all aspects of life, assimilating that which nurtures us and eliminating the rest. When our digestive powers are weak, toxins accumulate in our body, contributing to imbalance and, ultimately, illness. Panchakarma is a powerful Ayurvedic treatment that releases physical and emotional toxicity, restoring the body's natural balance and health. Panchakarma was developed thousands of years ago by the ancient healing masters of India. In Sanskrit, panchakarma means “the five actions” (pancha = five, and karma = action), referring to the five cleansing therapies described in the classic Ayurvedic textbooks.
