Part Two - Panchakarma
If you've been following my posts, you will have learnt, why Panchakarma is beneficial.
In the second part of the treatment process, it's all about preparing the body for releasing & purging which is hugely important for letting go, rejuvenation & healing & allowing the body do the rest of the work which you will learn in Part 3. It's imperative that one avoids cold, hot, wind & sun firing this time, as this can impair & alter the treatment course & effectiveness.
2. Cleansing – The Five Main Therapies
The main Panchakarma therapies are chosen individually, based on a person’s constitution, current imbalance, strength, and the season.
• Vamana: Clears excess mucus and heaviness (useful for allergies, asthma, and congestion)
• Virechana: Cleanses heat and toxins from the digestive system and blood (helpful for skin and liver issues)
• Basti: Herbal enemas that balance the nervous system and nourish the body (especially effective for stress, joint pain, and chronic fatigue)
• Nasya: Cleanses the head and sinuses using herbal oils (supports clarity, sleep, and emotional balance)
• Raktamokshana: A specialised blood-purifying therapy, used only when necessary.
I can't share my treatments for obvious naked reasons 😉 but I can share more pics of the stunning grounds & wildlife.
Waking up at 6.15am for Pranayama & gentle yoga 🧘♀️ followed by light diet controlled breakfast & fresh herbal tea & a gentle walk around the grounds before the sun is too hot.
Then it's a day of reading, journaling, chatting, tai chi, strolling, thinking, healing & a treatment or two before bed at 9ish.
