Body Massage
Whole body massage is always given with different types of oil depending on the body type (i.e. vata, pitta, kapha, or a combination). The massage can be performed with a combination of strokes including tapping, kneading, rubbing, and squeezing. It is very beneficial for general rejuvenation, skin and musculoskeletal conditioning or problems such as obesity, body aches, and pain. Sharpen memory reduce body fat, improve skin tone and enable peaceful sleep.

Piccichil
Piccichil is a very special form of massage that involves the continuous dripping of lukewarm medicated oil onto the body of the patient from pieces of cloth dipped in oil, as the masseur massages the body with gentle strokes. It must be done under medical supervision. Piccichil is normally prescribed for gentle health and rejuvenation, as well as rheumatic condition and paralysis.
 
Netra Basti
Washing the eye with medicated oils. It is an ancient treatment from India to relieve the tensions that are trapped in the eye socket that can result in poor eyesight, pain, fatigue, and that sunken, sallow look. Traditionally, this treatment is used to improve eyesight and nourish the nervous system via the eyeball as it connects directly to the eyes, soothes away wrinkles, enhances colorur and depth perception, creates a sense of ease and acceptance, and promotes a deep feeling of contentment.

Shirodara  

Shiro Dhara is the process of running a fine stream of warm Ayurvedic oils on the “third eye” area of the forehead for a period of approximately 45min a day for a period of 7 – 14 days according to the acuteness of the clinical condition.  Classically, it was used for cases of pain and stress, particularly but not exclusively, in the face, head, neck, and shoulders.  Stimulation to the “third eye” area affects deep centers in the brain that release brain chemicals; one of which is serotonin, a chemical that gives us the feeling of the pleasure and relaxation. It also frees the subtle energies of channels situated along the spine that help to calm and clear the mind.

   
   

Panchakarma

 

Panchakarma is the Sanskrit word for the five purificatory therapies used in Ayurveda.  These procedures have great importance in the Ayurvedic system of medicine and are applied in almost all diseases - as discussed in the Ayurveda classics.  Another word for PANCHAKARMA is detoxification, an element of many modern therapies.

 
The three stages of PANCHAKARMA

PANCHAKARMA treatment has three main stages:

POORVA KARMA includes preparatory measures such as the administration of oleation and fomentation (snehana and swedana) before the main specific treatment – Poorva Karma is done five, seven or ten days, sometimes a little longer if the healing of a long term problem is   being attempted.
 
   
PRADHANA KARMA is the main treatment – which contains the five cleansing actions. 
   
PASCHATA KARMA describes the measures employed after the main treatment, such as diet, medicine, and daily routine.
 
   
 

The importance of poorva, pradhana, and paschata karmas in the prevention and cure of diseases has been recognised and emphatically stated in the Ayurvedic text.  These three karmas are essential in improving the body’s own natural mechanisms.  In all three stages, the patient must continue with the full treatment and not miss even a single day.  The tendency to skip a part of the treatment due to inconvenience will reduce efficacy and can be harmful in  serious conditions.

   
  The five cleansing actions of Pradana Karma are:
VIRECHANA – purgation using laxatives to clear impurities from the small intestine and excesses in Pitta dosha
 
   
BASTIS (classified as Niruna and Anuvasana) – herbal and/or oily decoction enemas to cleanse and establish the correct functioning of the large intestine and excesses in Vata dosha
 
   
VAMANA– emetics or induced vomiting to clear impurities from the stomach and      excesses in Kapha dosha
 
   
NASYA – nasal drops to clear impurities from the head
   
RAKTA MOKSHA – bloodletting or blood purification using herbs
   

(Although classically considered the fifth of the five actions, it is sometimes omitted and the two forms of bastis are classified separately to make up the number of actions to five)

 

Any attempt to administer PANCHAKARMA without proper consultation by a doctor is not advisable.
