Keralan Pancha Karma
Pancha Karma treatments are designed to first help rid the body of toxins, and then to help rebuild and rejuvenate it. Kerala is a state in southern India where many of these treatments originated. We are pleased to offer several authentic treatments including the following most popular styles:
- Pizhichil
- said to rejuvenate the nervous system, good for general weakness, circulatory problems, pain and stiffness of the joints. Medicated oil is poured over your body while simultaneously being rubbed into the body. 75 minute treatment followed with aromatherapy steam and hot shower. Total time: approximately 90 minutes. $130
- Navarakizhi
- considered the most important treatment, this is a rejuvenating technique which is said to help the body become stronger, more supple, remove sluggishness and improve metabolism. A special rice is cooked in milk and applied over the body causing the body to perspire. This is followed with Abhyanga massage, aromatherapy steam, and a hot shower. Total time: approximately 90 minutes. $130
- Elakizhi
- said to help relieve joint pain, especially backache, improve circulation, and lubricate joints. Fresh herbs are cooked in oil, packed into bags, and applied to the body. This is followed with Abhyanga massage, aromatherapy steam, and a hot shower. Total time: approximately 90 minutes. $130
- Udavarthanam
- dry herbal massage said to be excellent for skin conditions, weight loss, edema, and muscle/joint pain. This is followed by Abhyanga massage, aromatherapy steam, and a hot shower. Total time: approximately 90 minutes. $130

Warm oil is poured on the forehead in one of the most divine, relaxing therapies one can experience. Followed by a head massage. Total time: approximately 1 hour. $110 Add aromatherapy steam and hot shower for $20
Other treatments may also be available. Although not required, because of the cumulative nature of Pancha Karma, it is advised that any treatment be done for 5 or more consecutive sessions.
Special Plans
5-Day Detox/Rejuvenation Plan (also beneficial for weight loss)
Perhaps you overindulged recently and want to lose a few pounds? Or, maybe you've been planning to start a longer term weight loss program and just haven't found the right incentive. Our plan can start you on your way while helping you balance your overall health and well being.
Many of us want to pay more attention to our health and well-being. This is an excellent plan to start you off in the right direction. In addition, it is imprtant to remember that prevention is the best medicine. Why not boost your immune system while feeling better at the same time?
This plan starts with 2 Amrithali treatments. This is an herbal decoction designed to help your body burn and expel any undigested food. This is followed by an Udavarthanam dry herbal massage designed to help your body expel ama (toxins). Then you receive 2 Pizhichil treatments designed to oleate and lubricate your body externally. During the same time you ingest ghee (clarified butter) to oleate and lubricate your body internally. This oleation and lubrication allows any imbalances, toxins, and excess fat and sugar to start flowing out of your body. Next is an Elakizhi herbal pack massage designed to heat your body and expand your srotas (body channels). With this expansion, the imbalances, toxins, and excess fat and sugar can flow to your digestive system to be expelled. Finally, you receive one Navarakizhi rice pack massage which helps your body rebuild and rejuvenate in a healthier manner. The plan also includes a Gandharavathasthali herbal decoction before each treatment, herbal supplements, ghee, and dietary suggestions to complement the process.
