Panchakarma & Core Therapies

The transformation rests on individualised Panchakarma sequencing—your doctor selects modules based on pulse diagnosis, symptoms, and lab data:

  • Vamana (therapeutic emesis) for upper respiratory, Kapha, and emotional congestion

  • Virechana (purgation) for Pitta detox, liver support, skin clarity, metabolic reset

  • Basti (medicated enemas)—core module for Vata pacification, colon health, weight/metabolism

  • Nasya (nasal therapy) for mental clarity, sinus, neurological support

  • Raktamokshana (therapeutic bloodletting) only if specifically indicated and safe

Supportive therapies rotate daily: Abhyanga, Pizhichil, Kizhi, Shirodhara, Kati/Greeva Basti as needed. Internal Rasayana (rejuvenatives) bridge recovery phases.

Critical emphasisnot every guest receives every module—selection follows classical guidelines ensuring safety and efficacy for your unique constitution and condition.

Practical Details: Duration, Check‑In & Best Time to Come

  • Duration: 21 days / 20 nights (typical pattern; can be adjusted slightly as per your travel schedule).

  • Check‑in/check‑out: We recommend afternoon/evening arrival on Day 1 and morning departure on Day 21 to maximise your time with the medical team.

  • Best time to visit:

    • Monsoon season is traditionally considered very supportive for Ayurveda therapies due to the moist, cooler climate.

    • Other months also work well; your doctor will adjust therapies to the weather and your constitution.

21 Day Ayurveda Wellness Package FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from 14‑day Ayurveda Wellness Package?

14‑day focuses on single‑condition management with selected Panchakarma modules; 21‑day delivers full Panchakarma sequence + multi‑factor transformation with deeper tissue change and comprehensive lifestyle redesign.

No—critical medications continue under dual guidance. Dose reductions for compatible conditions (e.g., metformin, statins) may occur with your home doctor’s awareness. Safety first.

Strongly discouraged—this is an intensive unplugging program. Occasional 15‑minute emergency calls possible, but productivity work undermines physiological transformation.

Tiered support: immediate discharge plan + recipes + 1‑month online consult (free) + 3/6‑month check‑ins (nominal fee). 90% of guests report best outcomes with follow‑through.

Not if properly prepared—Phase 1 is gentle acclimatisation. We’ve successfully guided first‑timers through full transformation when medically stable and mentally committed.
