PANCHAKARMA – THE MAGIC DETOX
Ayurvedic Panchakarma is a holistic approach to physical and mental health that originated in ancient India. It is based on the principle of cleansing and detoxifying the body to promote balance and well-being and is a vital part of a cleansing and rejuvenating therapy in Ayurvedic medicine.
Panchakarma is typically used to treat imbalances in the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and is considered an important part of preventative care. The therapy can be used to cleanse the body of toxins, and to improve overall health and well-being.
The Ayurveda Panchakarma treatment
