What is Pancha Karma?

Pancha Karma is a five cleanse process of clearing toxins from all the systems of your body. It is a treatment of ancient ayurveda medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years.

Traditionally it uses 5 specific cleanse therapies. In modern times and in the west we utilize 4 of these 5, Of these powerful actions, they are modified as needed to fit every home cleanser. I take into heart what is needed to create a home cleanse for you, and meet you where you are.

How can this home pancha karma cleanse help you?

It can:

Balances the doshas (dosha means your constitutional make up)
Adjust your relationship with food
Heal and reset your digestive system
Increase your digestive abilities
Enhance immunity
Reduce stress
Balance your mind
Calm your mind
Balance your emotional state
Balance your nervous system
Increase mental stamina by boosting your Ojas
Increase focus
Increase energy
Reduce or eliminate cravings
Reduce excess weight
Release toxins from the adipose tissues where they hide and are stored
Reset and increase your metabolism with long term results
Encourage wellness for your whole self physical, emotional, mental, spiritual

How do we do this?

Clean up the diet for 21 days and make seasonally sound food choices
Eat kitcharee for a portion of the time
Intake medicinal amounts of ghee
Incorporate certain daily activities
Practice short daily yoga stretching and breathing sequences
Incorporate short daily exercise sessions
Apply mindful eating practices
Explore journal inquiries
Attend virtual meetings
daily garshana—dry skin brushing
daily abhyanga--Self-massage
daily Fomentation/swedana-- steam therapy
and more

Through the above we will travel on this home modified pancha karma path together.

The program is as effective as you want it to be.

You can take it as modified as you need or as deep as you can go.

The commitment is what matters. Optional add ons are basti/enema therapy, nasya/oiling of sinuses therapy, a couple other add ons that we can discuss after registering.

MY GUIDANCE:

I'll guide you through this gentle yet effective home cleanse.

People feel that this cleanse offered them more then they expected. Most people experience a sense of calm, cravings gone, weight loss, emotional healing, better food and meal habits, and a renewed relationship with self care and with themselves in general.

FAD DIETS:

This is not a western fasting cleanse or a fad diet. In ayurveda we don't usually use fasting as a way to heal. We do however shift eating habits, eliminate certain foods, and add in other practices to support this wholistic cleanse experience. You'll learn more once you register.

If the elimination of certain foods feels unattainable for some of you, I assure you this is a beautiful process of diving deeper into your relationship with food. This may be the stepping stone you need to head toward long term healing and it could be life changing.

CONTACT:

Please call 707-775-8543 or email ayurvedamelanie@gmail.com

Within 48 hours after registration you'll be sent via email an overview with a Pancha Karma cleanse outline, a suggested grocery list, and recipes.

You'll have my support along the way. If you need more information or assistance, I will be easily accessible and available for you during this cleanse.
