Ayurveda offers different levels of cleansing and rejuvenation depending on the individual, the nature of the imbalance, and what the body is able to support at a particular time. A seasonal home cleanse provides a structured and accessible way to cleanse and rejuvenate at home. Panchakarma is a deeper and more involved process, with greater individualization, more extensive preparation and closer guidance throughout.

 

Panchakarma is not simply about eliminating what has accumulated. It is a process of creating the conditions for the body to release  what blocks and impairs it, restore balance, and access its own capacity for healing and recovery. It works across the physical and functional layers of the body as well as the mind and emotions, making it a powerful Ayurvedic approach for improving, stabilizing and enhancing health. 

 

The process is individualized according to your constitution, current state of health, digestion, strength, lifestyle, schedule and particular health aims. Rather than following a standardized cleanse, we determine what level and duration of cleansing is appropriate for you and build the process around that.

​

Cleansing, Purification and Rejuvenation

In Ayurveda, deeper cleansing is followed by rejuvenation. The classical process moves through purvakarma, the preparation phase; pradhana karma, the primary cleansing therapies; and paschat karma, the period of restoration and rejuvenation. It is this final phase in which the system is restored and supported following cleansing. This is an important distinction in the way Ayurveda approaches cleansing: we don't simply remove and move on. We cleanse then restore and nourish.

​

The aim is to establish better flow, strengthen digestion and functional capacity, reduce accumulated imbalance, and create a stronger foundation from which health can be maintained.

Panchakarma and Private Cleansing

Panchakarma and private cleansing moves through preparation, deepana and pachana (agni strengthening and ama, or metabolic toxin, digesting), specifically guided schedule of increasing oleation, cleansing processes, restoration of agni, gradual expansion of the diet and rejuvenation. Classically done in a centre for a minimum of 21 days, the duration and intensity can be adapted to your individual needs and circumstances. The private cleansing options are offered in several durations, from one week through a full five-week process.

​

A seasonal home cleanse is a simplified form of the deeper Ayurvedic cleansing process that can be completed in your own home with group guidance and support.

​

What Does Panchakarma and Private Cleansing Include?

Every private process begins with an individual Ayurveda health consultation and is followed by personalized guidance throughout the cleanse or panchakarma. Communication increases during the deeper cleansing stages, when the body is more vulnerable and closer support is appropriate. A 30-minute follow-up is included afterward for integration and next steps. 

​

Guidance may take place through email and short Zoom check-ins as needed. Herbal formulas and oils are purchased separately and are selected according to your individual process.
