Pancha Karma

Pancha Karma is a powerful healing modality from Ayurveda. Ayurveda, meaning the science of life, is the most ancient, system of health care known to man. It is complete, scientific, natural and wholistic. Originating at the dawn of creation these ancient principles are based on the fact that man is part of nature and the laws that govern nature are the very same laws that govern the functioning of man.

Pancha Karma literally means five actions (therapies). There are three stages:

	Preliminary procedures - consisting of massage and steam treatment
	Main treatment - consisting of one or more of the five therapies, usually basti (enema) and nasya (nasal purgation)
	Rehabilitative measures - consisting mainly of diet regime and rest

The benefits of Pancha Karma are:

Proper digestion

Sense organs tuned up

Fitness and development of body

Disease is cured

Delayed aging

Mind and intelligence stimulated

Increased life-span

Strength

Maintenance of health

The Tapovan Pancha Karma program gently detoxes
and rejuvenates the body and mind using steam bath with ayurvedic
herbs, basti (enema) for elimination, nasya (introducing medication
through the nostrils) and daily massage including shirodhara (oil on the
head).
