Join us for a mini-Panchakarma weekend

Bodywork for Detox & Rejuvenation with Melinda Reece, LMT, Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.

Fall is a great time to cleanse and prepare the body for transitioning from summer heat to winter cold. It’s the perfect time to start thinking about building immunity and resiliency, through strength of mind and body.

What is a Panchakarma?

Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means ‘five actions’. It’s a process used to help the body eliminate toxins from poor nutrition, disease, and environmental pollutants.

If the body is unable to efficiently undertake these processes due to lifestyle patterns, or genetic disposition, the accumulation and spread of toxins can lead to disease. Panchakarma treatments are designed to eliminate this build up of waste matter, or ‘ama’, through bodily organs and purify the tissue on a deep level. Each treatment is tailored to the individual.

What does it involve?

While our ‘mini’ panchakarma is a scaled down version of the usual in-depth treatment process, a full panchakarma would consist of the following, and is recommended as a seasonal undertaking for maintaining mental and physical hygiene and balance.

  • Daily warm oil massage (abhyanga)

  • Herbal steam therapy (swedana)

  • Lymphatic massage

  • Herbal enemas (basti)

  • Nasal administrations (nasya)
