Ayurvedic medicine is over 5000 years old, making it the oldest practised health system in the world. The translation of Ayurveda from Sanskrit roughly means ‘knowledge of life.’ Among these definitions, dating back over 3000 years, originates from the most important and well-known fundamental books in Ayurvedic medicine: Charaka and Sushruta Samhita.
Charaka Samhita describes, ‘A person is deemed to be healthy if their physiology is in equilibrium, with their digestive system and metabolism working well, their tissues and excretory systems functioning normally, and their soul, spirit, and senses in a state of enduring, inner contentment.’
The other definition comes from the World Health Organisation (WHO): ‘Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’.
Ayurvedic medicine’s holistic approach is also the reason why it has enjoyed such an exemplary position over the last two decades. People from industrialised countries, in particular, are increasingly recognizing that this traditional Indian and Sri Lankan medical system not only cures illnesses but can prevent them too. Ultimately, Ayurvedic therapies and lifestyle revitalise the body and soul, enhancing well-being and restoring strength that has been lost due to people’s lifestyles.

In Ayurvedic teaching the world is clearly regulated. It consists of the five elements: space/ether (Akasha), air (Vayu), fire (Agni), water (Jala) and earth (Prithivi). These forms of energy combine in holistic functional principles and determine everything: from the characteristics of rocks to those of plants, animals and people.
A dynamic equilibrium prevails between the elements. This adapts to the body’s needs and functions, which are constantly changing. It is also dependent on external influences: the seasons affect an individual’s state as does the time of day and their age.
Vata is like the Wind: Vata dosha is light, fast, and always moving. It’s in charge of things like breathing, blinking, and the energy in your body. When it’s balanced, you feel creative and alert, like a refreshing breeze. But when it’s out of balance, you might feel anxious, have trouble sleeping, etc…
Pitta is like Fire: Pitta dosha is hot, sharp, and fiery. It’s responsible for digestion, metabolism, and making you passionate and determined. When it’s balanced, you have a strong digestion and a sharp mind. But too much pitta can make you angry, give you heartburn, etc…
Kapha is like Earth and Water: Kapha dosha is calm, cool, and steady. It provides structure and lubrication to your body, like the earth and water in the soil. When it’s in balance, you’re strong and caring. But too much kapha can make you feel heavy, sluggish, even a bit sad, etc…
Each person has a unique mix of these doshas, and this mix affects your personality, body type, and health. Ayurveda helps keep your doshas in balance to keep you healthy and happy.
The Panchakarma is one of the most prominent treatments of Ayurveda. It is a path to detoxification and has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years through traditional cleansing methods. Panchakarma is a Sanskrit word that means “five actions” or “five treatments.” These are the five main practices in the Panchakarma treatment, which can cleanse the body of toxic substances and the mind of mental toxins and indigestible thoughts. In doing so, it balances the imbalances of the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), allowing the entire person to rejuvenate, resulting in a physical and mental reset. The profound cleansing also strengthens the immune system and supports the body’s organs and elimination channels. It is a five-stage process where the human body can be aided in recovering from the negative effects of poor health decisions, diseases, and environmental pollution. By restoring our natural healing ability and the body’s detoxification system, the quality of life and health improve – a holistic path for the body, mind, and soul, which can also be applied preventively. The treatment is complemented by meditations, yoga, and outdoor activities to achieve complete health and natural balance. Our goal with the Panchakarma treatment is primarily to activate self-healing powers and to maintain and build health in a comprehensive sense.
It begins with a thorough examination by the Doctor, which serves to assess any existing discomfort according to Ayurvedic and Western criteria. Ayurvedic pulse diagnosing (Nadi Pariksha) is the most important Ayurvedic diagnostic method. By feeling the quality of the pulse and further examining the tongue, eyes, and facial features, the Ayurvedic physician obtains clues about the possible causes of discomfort. These insights form the basis for the subsequent individual measures in the Panchakarma treatment.
This intensive cleansing process can last for 2 to 3 weeks, and it also depends on your body constitution, During which we accompany you in an individual manner. There are several phases that can already be supported by preparations at home. When booking the Panchakarma treatment, you will receive detailed information from us in advance. On-site, we can intensify this preparation phase and support the detoxification process. We assist you with detox drinks, Ayurvedic preparations, oil massages, various treatments, sweat treatments, and our healthy Ayurvedic vegetarian cuisine. In addition, you can use our daily yoga, meditation, and exercise offerings to free your mind. You have the possibility to attend the weekly Ayurvedic lectures. The sequence of individual treatments is based on the findings of the initial examination and is tailored to age, digestive health, immunity, and your personal healing needs. In conjunction with the professional execution of the treatments by our experienced therapists, these can lead to profound, cleansing, and harmonizing effects.
Massages: Some massages, such as Abhyanga (full-body synchronized oil massage), Vishesh (deep muscle massage), Udvartana (full-body exfoliating massage), or Kalari (firm massage for activating vital or Marma points) and the addition of 19 massages and treatments, differ in the intensity of pressure during the massage and their impact on the guest’s energy situation. However, we also apply other treatments and massages, which the Ayurvedic physician integrates individually into your treatment program. The massages promote blood circulation, act on the lymphatic system, mobilize toxins from the tissue, and help eliminate them through the skin. The calm and synchronized massage movements have a positively regulating effect on a person’s condition.
The 5 elimination procedures or treatments can eliminate deep-seated toxins or metabolic waste products (Ama) and restore the body’s physiological regulatory system to harmony. The two most important cleansing methods are Virechana and Basti, which form the basis of our Panchakarma treatment. Virechana: By administering gently purgative substances, all those toxic products are eliminated through the intestines that have been mobilized and collected in the body but have not been eliminated through the kidneys, colon, sweat, and lungs due to oil and sweat treatments. Virechana can remove indigestible toxins from the body and, above all, from the digestive tract, and balance metabolic processes in the body. Basti: Refers to various types of Ayurvedic medicinal enemas. During the treatment, we use nourishing Bastis (Matra Basti) and cleansing enemas (Shodana Basti) to cleanse the colon and nourish and soften it again. The enemas are administered by our therapists in a very sensitive and gentle manner following a massage. You will find that the administration of enemas is not uncomfortable. Nasya: By means of a massage in the head area, warm compresses, steaming, and specially cleansing oils, the sinuses are cleansed. This treatment is applied for imbalances of all organs in the throat and head area and is known to help with chronic sinusitis, hay fever, migraines, and headaches. In addition, Nasya clears and strengthens the mind and sense organs. When it comes to Rakta Moksha (bloodletting) and Vamana (therapeutic vomiting), in rare and necessary circumstances, we will perform these methods.
Together with lifestyle and dietary changes, you can feel and experience the benefits of Panchakarma treatment. Each treatment is individual, and the treatment itself can last for 14 to 21 days. Your life should change for the better, you should feel more vitality and energy, and if you follow the recommendations, the effects of the treatment can be very sustainable. Emotions, mind, and soul are more balanced, and self-confidence can increase. Body, mind, and soul are back in harmony.
After your body has been cleansed, and your mind has been freed and calmed, it is necessary to strengthen and tone your digestive fire (Agni) as well as address any weak points in your body. Most of the time during the rebuilding phase, you will already spend at home because, in general, the post-treatment phase is expected to be twice the number of days you spent at our Ayurveda Resort. You will also receive guidelines for the period after treatment.
