Highlights of 7 Days Ayurveda Relaxation Programme to enjoy the elixir of life

In Ayurveda, the relaxation program is generally known as Panchakarma Treatment. Panchakarma is a highly preferred wellness treatment mainly during the monsoon season of June to September at Kerala. The season is considered apt for the relaxation therapies since the herbs using for the treatments are growing profusely during this period and in the presence of moist air human skin becomes more sensitive to oils and absorb any medicated emollients to its maximum for better results.

Sukhayus Wellness Ayurveda Retreat provides the Panchakarma treatment as a cost-effective relaxation programme package. According to Ashtanga Hridaya, the ancient Ayurvedic text, Panchakarma treatment is highlighted for providing complete relaxation and wellness to the human body. The treatment helps to enhance mental power, health, and beauty. The relaxation treatment is best for keeping the digestive fire at a proper level and to avoid different gastric diseases.

In the package, each patient is given a special treatment of diet, yoga, massage, and medication. At Sukhayus the treatments in the relaxation programme are only finalized after the consultation of a patient with an experienced in-house Ayurvedic practitioner.

Panchakarma or the relaxation program consists mainly of three procedures. The foremost procedure is called Purvakarma, which literally translates as preparation. In this preparatory stage, the patient’s body is ready for the actual process by abolishing deep-rooted impurities or Doshas in the body. It is a kind of sweat therapy in which lukewarm oil and heated mix of herbs are applied all over the body. Different patients will have different Dosha imbalances and thus the Purvakarma treatments will vary according to person.

Pradhanakarma is the next main procedure of the relaxation treatment. Pradhanakarma, which consists of five purification procedures designed to restore the Dhosa balance of the body. The first of Pradhanakarma is called Vamanam, which can be translated as tempt vomiting, the second is called Virechanam or induced purgation in which ayurvedic drugs that stimulate bowel movements are consumed. The third procedure is called Vasthi in which the medicated enemas are used for eliminating toxins and the fourth procedure is Nasyam or nasal cleansing applying medicated oils through nasal route and the last one is Rakthamoksham or detoxification of the blood.

The final stage of Panchakarma treatment is Paschat karma, which is the healing stage of particular diets and relaxation where the relaxed body is permitted to calm down after the strain of the first two treatments. It is essential that the process of Panchakarma should take place in a peaceful and secure mental environment because the patient has to restore a lot of energy from Panchakarma treatment.

Oleation is the application of oil or related substances on the body whereas Fomentation therapy is sweat generating.

Vamanam is for expelling the aggregated Kapha Dhosha in the body. Kapha Dhosa causes many diseases like a cough, cold and so on. Since Kapha Dhosha exists more on the chest region, eliminating it through oral route can be done easily.  In Vamanam, an internal and external Oleation and Fomentation therapies are given to the patient for few days. As an effect of treatments, the toxins get liquefied and gather in upper cavities of the body. After that, the patient is given emetic medicine and decoction for inducing vomiting. Thus, the toxins can be eliminated from the body tissues. Vamanam therapy is majorly recommended for Kapha-dominated diseases such as Asthma, Obesity, and Hyperacidity.

Virechanam is the treatment inducing purgation. The elimination of toxins in this therapy is through evacuation of the bowels. Like Vamanam, the patient is given internal and external Oleation and Fomentation therapies. Then the herbal laxative for evacuation of the bowels is given to the patient. Virechanam is best for pitta-dominated conditions like Jaundice, Celiac Disease, and Colitis etc.

Nasyam is best for conditions like Migraine, Insomnia, Respiratory Diseases, Hair Problems, and Sinusitis. Nasyam therapy is done through cleansing the head region removing the Kapha-domination. At first, the patient is given the head and shoulder massages.  Then nasal drops are given through both nostrils.

Vasti is medicated enema. The medicated substances are passed through enema and it is best for complicated and chronic diseases. After analysing the nature of the disease, herbal oil, ghee and decoctions are passed through the rectum to clean the intestine route. Vata dominated conditions such as constipation, arthritis, and piles can be cured by Vasti treatment.

Rakthamoksham otherwise known as blood-letting cleanses the blood and avoids chances of diseases due to impure blood. This cleaning therapy is mainly useful for curing different skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, common lesions such as pigmentation and abscesses.
