For the Panchakarma or Ayurveda detox retreats, a duration of at least 14 days is usually recommended. The aim of this retreats is to detoxify the body, relieve the liver and naturally remove stress and waste products so that the metabolism works better. It consists of five elements, all of which are essential for human beings: Diet, yoga, meditation and Ayurvedic massages with both oils and herbs.
The Ayurvedic detox treatment is usually performed in three stages: the preparatory phase Puvakarma, the fivefold purifications Panchakarma and the post-treatment Paschatkarma. Of the original five cleansing techniques, only three are usually still used, especially for European guests: Virechana - the enema treatment with ghee coconut oil or sesame oil, Nasya - the nasal and sinus treatment, and the Vasti intestinal enema. Panchakarma is an intense purification ritual with prayers to Shiva, the god of peace.
