Pancha Karma  

Pancha Karma, or the five healing practices of Ayurveda comprise a system of wellness that is offered traditionally over five consecutive days. These treatments can be offered separately or as a series according to the participant's availability to promote a stronger immune system, detoxification of the digestive organs, increased absorption of prana (subtle energy) and nutrients, and balance in the functioning of the body's organs.

The following provides examples of Pancha Karma therapies:

Jal Neti: This yogic technique easily allows you to cleanse the nasal passages and sinuses to alleviate allergies, sinusitis, and hay fever. It also leaves you feeling fresh and increases the absorption of prana (vital energy). Jal neti also stimulates the clarity of eyesight. Instruction and pot: $35

Nasya: During nasya, warm oil and Ayurvedic powder are released into the nasal passages thereby removing excess mucous, lubricating and healing the membranes, and bringing freshness and calm to the brain. ½ hour: $30

Shankpraxalan: This powerful technique removes bile, acidity, and mucous from the digestive system through a process of drinking and expelling lime water. It rejuvenates the pranic body and leaves one feeling light and clear. This therapy is followed by a guided relaxation and an Ayurvedic meal: ½ day: $100

Guided Fasting: Receive instruction in fasting and breaking a fast for a safe and more profound detoxification. 1 ½ hours: $80
