Panchakarma at Sunshine Ayurveda
Ayurveda offers much more than just treatment of symptoms and ailments. It emphasises preventative and healing therapies, as well as various methods for purification and rejuvenation. It is a system which provides holistic guidance and practices for appropriate living to help you regain balance, and create longevity and long-term health and well-being.
To achieve this balanced state of body, mind and consciousness, Ayurveda prescribes a detoxification program known as Panchakarma.
Panchakarma is a transformative purification and rejuvenation program that has been used for thousands of years by ayurvedic practitioners in India and Nepal. It removes toxins lodged in the body’s tissues and safely eliminates them through the alimentary canal. It also opens the subtle channels allowing life-enhancing energy to heal and revitalise the body at the cellular level.
At the end of the Panchakarma Program, you will feel revitalised physically, mentally and spiritually, and will experience a renewed sense of inner peace, clarity, confidence and well-being.
Planning for Ayurvedic Detox?​
Your detoxification program begins with an Ayurvedic Consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic Doctor, Ram Mani Bhandari. Dr Bhandari will discuss your health concerns, determine your mind-body constitution (Vata/Pitta/Kapha doshas), assess your immune and digestive system health, and undertake an overall health and well-being diagnosis. Using this information, he will tailor a detox program to meet your individual constitution and health needs. As part of the consultation, Dr Bhandari will give you a detailed step-by-step guide to the personalised program and its routines and requirements, with clear instructions and advice about diet, lifestyle and supplements.
Sunshine Ayurveda detox and rejuvenation (Panchakarma) programs can be arranged at any time throughout the year, subject to availability. They are particularly recommended at the change of season.
The duration of the Panchakarma Program can vary, ranging from a minimum of 3 days to several months, and can be customised to suit your personal circumstances.
Steps of Ayurvedic Detox
Our comprehensive Panchakarma Programs include three stages:
Stage 1: Preparatory home-based program
Following an initial Ayurvedic Consultation with Dr Bhandari, you may be required to follow a 3-7 day preparatory home-based program. It will include a specified ayurvedic diet, ayurvedic herbs and prescribed daily practices and routines.
Preparing your body in this way is essential to optimise your results during the daily clinical treatments in the next stage.
Disease We Manage
BPH
Erectile Dysfunction
Insomnia
Depression
Anxiety
Stage 2: Daily clinical treatments at Sunshine Ayurveda
Daily clinical treatments will be prescribed on the basis of your condition and constitution. They may include ayurvedic massage, marma massage, udvartana (powder/paste massage), shirodhara, herbal steam therapy and more.
During this stage, you will continue the vegetarian ayurvedic diet, ayurvedic herbs and daily routines of Stage 1.
During Stage 2, once your body is ready, detoxification is enhanced through purgation (virechana), medicated enemas (Vasti) and/or nasal cleansing (nasya) according to your condition.
Stage 3: Post detox home-based program
Once the clinical treatments of Stage 2 are completed, it is important that you continue the ayurvedic herbs, diet and daily routines for at least a week to allow the body to maximise the benefits of the treatments you have received.
This restorative phase supports and enhances the effects of the previous two stages of the Panchakarma Program.
