Wellness Tourism - Ayurveda, Health & Spa


Ayurvedic Therapies

Wellness Tourism - Ayurveda, Health & SpaUse this guide to better understand the different kinds of ayurvedic therapies/massages.

Panchakarma

This five-fold purification therapy aims at correcting the imbalance of the body's Doshas or bio energies (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) in order to maintain their inherent equilibrium and Ama, which forms as a result. Panchakarma therapy has three main stages : Poorvakarma, Pradhanakarma and Paschatkarma.

Poorvakarma, the first stage, comprises essential preliminary procedures for preparing the body to unload stored toxins. The treatments help to loosen Ama (toxins) and move it out to the deep structures into the gastro-intestinal tract, where Panchakarma's cleaning therapies can then eliminate it.

Pradhanakarma is the second stage and includes the main cleansing therapies.

Paschatkarma is the final stage and describes the measures employed after the main treatment, such as diet, medicines and daily routine.
