But the ‘agni’ that regulates the internal homeostasis of the body become disorganized due to poor diet practices, illnesses, and lifestyle choices. This causes toxins to enter our body and accumulate over time and spread out to various organs, causes diseases that leave us weak and tired.

In Ayurveda, this waste matter is called ‘ama’. The Panchakarma treatment is aimed at removing the excess doshas and correcting imbalances, along with eliminating the harmful ama from our system through different channels of elimination.

Panchakarma is the ultimate detoxifying process that offers you one of the best mind-body healing experiences of Ayurveda.
