Panchakarma Therapy
Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s classical cleansing rite – a careful, time-honoured path to remove deep-rooted toxins, restore digestion and renew vitality.
At Vedhara, you will receive an authentic Kerala Panchakarma program grounded in ancient protocols, customized to your Prakriti (body constitution).
What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma refers to a set of classical procedures (Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Raktamokshana) combined with preparatory and restorative phases. Together these stages cleanse tissues, balance doshas and rebuild strength through Rasayana (rejuvenation).
Panchakarma Therapy Benefits
- Deep Detoxification (Ama Elimination)
- Restores Dosha Balance(Vata, Pitta, and Kapha)
- Improves Digestion and Metabolism
- Rejuvenates the Nervous System
- Enhances Energy and Vitality
- Improves Skin Health and Radiance
The 3 Stages of Panchakarma
Purvakarma — Preparation (Oleation & Sudation)
- External oleation (Abhyanga) and internal oleation when needed.
- Herbal steam (Swedana) to open channels
These steps soften and mobilize toxins so they can move safely.
Pradhanakarma — The Main Detox (The Five Actions)
- Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): For Kapha-predominant toxin removal.
- Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): For Pitta-related cleansing.
- Basti (Medicated Enema): Central to Vata management and deeper colon cleansing.
- Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Clears head-and-neck channels.
- Raktamokshana (Blood Purification): Used selectively for specific conditions (including classical leech therapy when indicated).
Each therapy is chosen after Prakriti and clinical review.
Paschatkarma — Rejuvenation & Aftercare (Rasayana)
Nourishing diet, herbal tonics, restorative massages and lifestyle guidance to rebuild tissues (dhatus) and immunity (ojas).
This phase anchors the gains from cleansing and makes benefits last.
