| Panchakarma "PK" Ayurvedic detox/cleansing and rejuvenation |
Panchakarma (PK) translates to mean 5 actions. This refers to the 5 ways in which to cleanse
the body naturally, by using and assisting the natural functions of the body. These processes are
deeply in tune with the way energies flow, grow and heal, thus improving your quality of life and
longevity. Panchakarma is gentle, suportive, safe and effective.

Why do PK? It is the traditional way
to 'hit the reset button' in your health.
It allows the body and mind to rest
completely and focus on restoration to
optimize health and well being.

How does it work? Like how oil
cleans and softens impurities in wood,
an Ayurvedic practitioner chooses
your oil treatments to gently soften and
eliminate toxins through the body's
natural channels.

| 3 Stages of Panchakarma |
1. At home preparation: Begin your journey about 10 days before your
bodywork (treatment phase). Eliminate unhealthy influences in your food, lifestyle
and relationships to the best of your ability. Add easily digested foods, ghee
(clarified butter), and prepare your home and family for retreat.
2. Treatment phase: May be 5,7, or 10 days in length. Each day consists of
about 3 hours of Ayurvedic treatments specifically formulated for your needs. PK
works best when time is devoted. Ideally, you can lessen your external
responsibilities through this time as these treatments can be tiring.
3. Rejuvenation phase: Emerge slowly from your retreat with intentions around
maintaining changes you have made in your diet and lifestyle and relationships.
Follow protocols given to you. Changes from PK can gently unfold over the next
few months.
