Panchakarma
(The science of rejuvenation)
Panchakarma (PK) translates to mean 5 actions. This refers to the 5 ways
in which to cleanse the body naturally, by using and assisting the natural
functions of the body. These processes are deeply in tune with the way
energies flow, grow and heal, thus improving your quality of life and longevity.
Panchakarma is gentle, suportive, safe and effective.
"Through the thousands of years that Ayurveda has been in recorded existence, its basic principles have never changed because they derive from universal laws of nature which are eternally true" Sunil V. Josi
