Panchakarma is one of Ayurveda’s classical therapeutic approaches, traditionally used as a comprehensive process of purification and restoration. The term refers to five principal therapeutic procedures that are selected according to an individual’s constitution, health condition, dosha imbalance, and treatment needs.
At Sattva Ayurveda, Panchakarma is approached as a personalised therapeutic journey rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment. The process begins with a detailed consultation and assessment by an Ayurvedic practitioner, followed by carefully planned preparatory therapies and appropriate therapeutic procedures.
The five classical procedures associated with Panchakarma are Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana. Depending on the individual, the practitioner may recommend specific procedures as part of a broader treatment plan.
Panchakarma traditionally aims to support the body’s natural processes of elimination, restore balance among the doshas, and prepare the individual for rejuvenating and restorative care. The treatment plan, duration, therapies, and medicines are determined individually under professional Ayurvedic supervision.

Yes. A detailed Ayurvedic consultation and assessment should be completed before beginning a Panchakarma programme so that the treatment can be appropriately planned and supervised.
The duration varies depending on the individual treatment plan, procedures selected, preparatory requirements, and post-treatment care. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate schedule after assessment.
Your experience depends on the therapies included in your personalised programme. It may involve preparatory therapies, selected Panchakarma procedures, dietary guidance, rest, and post-treatment restorative care.
