"Panchakarma,
the ancient Ayurvedic prescription for purifying
the body, is credited with curing everything from
chronic fatigue to osteoarthritis. What can it
do for you?" |
|
Research
at Ohio State University by Dr. Hari Sharma, recently
reported the results of a study indicating that
Panchakarma removed free radicals, balanced the
physiology, lowered cholesterol and increased
HDL, good cholesterol. These benefits were progressive
and did not maximize until after the Panchakarma
Treatments ended. Panchakarma Therapies are combinations
of the treatments described below. Generally,
Panchakarma is tailored to the individual and
includes a special diet, yoga, and combinations
of the treatments described below. These treatments
require two trained therapists and last 2 ½ hours. |

Comments from clients

Abhyanga-Shirodhara
This combination of treatments is the most popular.
Abhyanga is an individually
prepared herbal-oil massage designed to deeply penetrate
the skin, relax the mind-body, break up impurities and
stimulate both arterial and lymphatic circulation. This
effect enhances the ability for nutrients to reach starved
cells and for the removal of stagnant waste. The result
is a heightened state of awareness that will enhance
the internal healing system of the body. Shirodhara
Shiro means "head" and dhara means "pouring
of oil." Herbalized oil is poured over the forehead
at a specific temperature with a "dhara" or
stream at a specific height and width for a set period
of time in a body specific pattern. During this treatment
the brain waves become synchronous, the metabolism is
lowered and the nervous system disarmed so that the
deepest level of healing can be accessed.

Shiro-Abhyanga-Nasya
is a luxurious combination of a deep head, neck and
shoulder massage, a facial lymphatic massage, deep inhalation
of a therapeutic aromatic steam, followed by a nasal
and sinus Nasya with herbalized nose drops. This popular
treatment is an invaluable tool, balancing most head
and neck disorders. |
| 1 hour and 15 minutes treatment - $95 |
|
Garshana
treatments begin with a wool or silk glove dry skin
brushing. This enhances circulation and cleans the skin
so that subsequent oil and herbal treatments can penetrate
deeply into the freshly cleaned pores of the skin. It
is excellent for lymphatic stasis. |
| $20 (added to another treatment) |
|
Pizichili
is a continuous stream of warm herbalized oil soothingly
poured over the entire body by two therapists as they
massage the body in perfect unison. The warmth of the
oil and the synchronicity of the massage combine for
a deep tissue cleansing and a powerful integrating effect.
(Requires 2 massage therapists). |
| 1 hour and 30 minutes treatment, with a rest - $350 |
|
Swedna
is an individually herbalized steam bath. It is unique
because the head and the heart are kept very cool during
the steam bath while the body is heated to remove mental,
emotional and physical toxins lodged deeply within the
tissues. |
| $35 (added to another treatment) |
|
Vishesh
is a deeper muscular massage that breaks up adhesions
and compromised circulation deep within the muscle spindles.
For certain body types and imbalances, this is an essential
therapeutic approach. |
|
Shirodhara
is administered by gently and methodically pouring warm herbalized oil over the forehead, synchronizing brain waves and profoundly coordinating the mind, body and spirit. To learn more, see our
Shirodhara

Udvartina
is a deeply penetrating herbal paste lymphatic massage.
This powerfully exfoliating treatment magically conditions
the skin while pressing stagnant lymphatic toxins out
of the body. |
|
Nasya
consists of individually prescribed herbs and oil drops
that are inhaled which clear the sinuses and excess
mucous. This treatment combats the deep dryness that
exists at the root of many respiratory and allergic
conditions. |
|
Basti
is an herbal enema, which effectively removes impurities
loosened by each day's therapy and restores normal eliminative
functions. The Basti is self administered in the evening
after each treatment. |
