Have you ever heard of the detox procedure called panchakarma? For those of us who have not, a Panchakarma retreat is where trained professionals facilitate deep cleansing with the age-old Ayurveda process called panchakarma, a method which removes negative energy from the body and gently, yet deeply flush out toxins that collect during our everyday lives.

The average person consumes many more toxins than we realize. For instance, the vegetables and fruits that we eat may have been sprayed with loads of pesticides and germicides. Similar circumstances prevail in the meat industry. And let’s not even get started on the toxic gases and exhaust fumes in the environment that we inhale.

This is the point where retreating to a panchakarma retreat or any deeply cleansing detox spa retreats becomes so important. The natural methods employed by Ayurvedic spa retreats eliminate harmful toxins from the body without causing harmful side effects in both the short as well as the long run.

Retreatsthat make use of panchakarma, usually combine a detoxification diet, which is customized for each person depending on their ...
... physical conditions and needs, along with key panchakarma cleansing methods, such as basti or virechana.

Basti is a method of cleansing the colon, which makes extensive use of natural ghee and other herbal powders. This helps in boosting overall health and providing relief in situations like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, Infertility and so on. Vamana is used to detox the respiratory tract. Most spa retreats use herbal liquids that are passed through the respiratory tract. Vamana can help participants to manage a variety of issues like psoriasis, bronchitis, asthma, allergies as well as skin disorders. Virechana is traditionally used to rejuvenate and detox the gall bladder, the digestive tract and the liver. Nasya is a cleansing process that clears away toxins that can accumulate along the neck as well as the nasal region. Nasa involves the gentle administration of herbal liquids and oils through their nasal passage. It has been effectively performed in cases of frozen shoulder, allergies, nasal congestion, headaches as well as sinuses. Other treatments, such as raktamoskshana, is quite rare in contemporary practice and not used by all panchakarma retreats. It is done in extremely rare conditions and under constant medical supervision.

Apart from taking care and rejuvenating your body and mind, a good retreat also offers quiet and solitude. This space gives people a chance to find the time to find their inner zen, which becomes so difficult during the rush of our everyday busy lives.
