Panchakarma is the natural purification therapy of Ayurveda.
"Pancha" means five
"Karma" means action
The "five actions" refers to a range of cleansing therapies which are designed to purify the body of toxins.
The therapies are personalised based on the specific needs, imbalances and body type of the individual.
Therapies include:
- Various types of massages using oils and milks tailored to the individual
- Nose, eye and ear treatments
- Ayurvedic herbal supplements
- Enemas
Some of the benefits include:
- Highly enjoyable, with two practitioners massaging the body in tandem
- Prevents the recurrence of disease and restores health to the body
- Brings order to the digestive system and improves metabolism

This Clinic houses the best (in my opinion) Ayurvedic Doctor in the world, Dr Raju. Through pulse diagnosis, Dr Raju determines your current state of health and any imbalances and then tailors your Panchakarma program accordingly.
