In current times, lifestyle related disorders are most prevalent. The issues that come with a lifestyle that is out of sync with our internal systems can sometimes be extremely challenging. These include consumption of unhealthy foods, harmful medicines and environmental changes. Ayurveda is based on the principles of the five elements of nature. This ancient science works to treat toxicity by healing practices such as Dosha (basic body energy), Dhatu (body tissue) and Mala (excretions).
Our Holistic Approach
At Kaivalyadhama, our Yoga with Ayurveda and Panchakarma program offers you an integrated approach to rejuvenate yourself with herbal treatments for ailments, recovery and restoration. We believe that combining this age-old wisdom of Ayurveda with Yogic principles promotes and assists in maintaining a sustainable, physical and emotionally healthy life.
What to Expect
Once you arrive at Kaivalyadhama for your program, an Ayurvedic doctor will have an in depth personal medical consultation with you. This will determine your current health parameters so that we know what issues are to be addressed during your stay with us. The doctor will then design an individual plan that is exclusive to you and your wellbeing.
The plan is designed to heal, detox and rejuvenate. This is done by a combination of various therapies that include Abhyanga (oil massage), Potli (heated herbal pouch massage), swedana (inducing perspiration), shirodhara (dripping medicated oil/ decoction on the forehead), padabhyanga (foot massage), nasya basti (cleansing of nasal passages), karnapuran (cleansing of the ear canal), netra basti (cleansing of the eyes), lepa (skincare), facials, hrudbasti (heart cleansing), katibasti (lower back treatment), manyabasti (neck and shoulder treatment) and sandhibandha (treatment of bone joints).
A combination of the yoga and ayurveda program includes yoga practices, herbal teas, a sattvik diet, massages and various therapies. Although the minimum requirement for this program is a period of 7 days, a longer period ensures enhanced benefits.

What is Panchakarma?
Based on the ancient principle of Ayurveda, a Panchakarma involves five main detox procedures:
- Vaman / Vomiting: Induced vomiting. Helpful for those who suffer from allergies, asthma and sinusitis. It purifies the respiratory tract.
- Virechan / Purgation: Controlled purging. Helpful for those who suffer from heart, blood vessels and liver trouble.
- Basti / Enema: Introduction of a decoction or an oil in the rectal passage. Helpful in issues related to constipation, motion and neurological disorders.
- Nasya / Nasal Administration: Introduction of medicated milk or herbal powders to remove toxins from the head and forehead. Helpful in rejuvenating the sense organs.
- Raktamoksana / Bloodletting: Controlled removal of impure blood from the body to cure various disorders.
Do note: All detoxification procedures are customised by our doctors depending on your health, age and medical condition and administered by trained staff under the supervision of our doctors.
Three steps of Panchakarma practice
| Pruvakarma / Pre-treatment (Cleansing and Preparing the body) |
|
| Pradhamkarma / Main Treatment |
|
| Paschatkarma. Post-treatment |
|
Pruvakarma/ Pre Treatment
a) Oleation with a medicated oil massage, that is complemented with a special diet. Our body is like a machine that must be serviced and cleansed for restoring the health of the body.
b) Fomentation is carried out in different ways to open bodily channels and bring the toxins towards the nearest outlets of the body.
Pradhamkarma/ Main Treatment
Our Ayurveda experts decide the main karma according to health conditions and bodily constitution of the person undergoing treatment. Karmas depend on the patient's condition and hereditary history.
Paschatkarma/ Post Treatment
a) After the main purification process, the bodily functions must be reset. Gradually there is a natural shift form special diet to a suitable normal diet.
b) This includes rejuvenating therapies by following some simple home remedies.
