What is

Kerala Panchakarma Treatment?

Panchakarma is a holistic Ayurvedic therapeutic approach that uses traditional medicine to restore the body's natural balance, eliminate toxins and rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. The word comes from "Pancha" (five) and "Karma" (actions) – a series of five therapeutic procedures designed to detoxify and balance the doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha).

Ayurveda considers purification of the body important before any other therapy begins, so that it can be replenished afresh with health, vigour and vitality.

At our Panchakarma centre each guest is assessed constitutionally and diagnosed by an Ayurvedic physician before therapies begin. Your plan is unique to your body type (dosha).
