Panchakarma

Ayurvedic detox retreat in Istria
17.09. – 24.10.2021.

Over the years and in time, due to lifestyle choices, diet and stress, our body accumulates toxins. Every person intakes food, air, positive and negative thoughts and life situations, feelings and stress…

Our body processes all intakes, both physical and mental, and uses whatever it needs, correctly or not, to provide cell nutrition in order to maintain physical and mental balance. Waste materials that are used, processed and unnecessary, body with its metabolic process eliminates through sweat, urine, feces and used energy. If there is a stagnation in metabolic activity, toxins accumulate in our body and disturb our normal physiological functions. They create havoc in our circulation, digestion, thought process, lymph flow and nerve impulses.

Nutrition and nurture of the cells becomes disturbed, and information takes longer to spread. Optimal cellular function slowly weakens due to various blockages in the body.

Body’s need for detox

Similar to our house pets, and our motor vehicles, at least once a year our body also needs a cleanse, a detox. Animals have inbred instinct for cleansing. Humans have this intuition as well, but over time we have forgotten all about it.

Individual Approach

Experienced practitioners and hundreds of clients

Ayurvedic treatments (therapies)

Massages, oil and herbal therapies

Organic Food

Balanced meals prepared in accordance with detox plan

Support

Walks and meditations with a group, in the heart of green Istria

“Detox is a vital component of all natural medicine.”

Fast and detox through history
Throughout history, people always recognized that a yearly cleanse is essential for a good health. Even more so, every major religion included important fasts in its rituals and customs (Easter and Christmas fast, Yom Kippur fast, Ramadan fast, etc), as well as smaller fasts in several intervals throughout the year.
Simple detox through fasting
When person feels lethargic and unwell, or when they overindulge in drinks or food, the best detox is to simply skip several meals, allowing for quality absorption of all the previous intake and blockages, and elimination of all unnecessary waste, thus preventing its precipitation in the body.

Toxins

We differentiate toxins to the ones soluble in water and ones that bind to fats, or are soluble in fats. The ones that are soluble in water, if we are conscious of their existence, are relatively easy to eliminate. Correctly chosen fresh ascetic diet – local, seasonal, organic, mostly bitter. Well balanced combination of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fruits and vegetables. Lots of warm liquid intake, and in few days, just like in fasting, we can eliminate toxins soluble in water.

What to do with the toxins that bind to fats and which toxins are those?

Ayurvedic detox program, known as Panchakarma, is the only proven method of removing toxins soluble in fats, including:

Panchakarma process

Panchakarma is individual detox program comprising series of established well-known procedures and therapies, special massages, use of steam and dry saunas, deep relaxation, and moderate physical activity.
Similar to any treatment, in Panchakarma there is a need to prepare our body for the main treatment of the actual toxin release and purification process. Success of a prescribed therapy is highly dependent on pre-purification, making preparation the most important step in the whole therapy. In our Ayurveda Detox Center Glavini we mainly use one of the three major Ayurvedic detox methods:

  • Basti or enema
  • Virechan or purgation
  • Nasya or elimination of toxins through the nose (nasal administration).

Proces

During the Panchakarma process, administration of medicinal fats is strictly controlled and adjusted as required – they accumulate toxins in the body and with the use of laxatives or an alternative mean eliminate from the body. Together with that process, special diet protocol is created based on individual needs.

Duration

Ideally, the whole process would take 21 days, however it is normally adjusted to meet the needs of today’s hectic lifestyle, and it can successfully and efficiently be completed within 7 to 14 days. Panchakarma is the only detox program that is really taking place at the cellular level.

Results

Following this reset, with the use of correct and individually created diet plan, individually planed herbal remedies and teas, the body will, after some time, normally within three months, return to homeostasis, or natural balance. Already, within first 5 to 14 days, majority of people will feel regenerated, but real effects will follow later.

King’s Treatment. Shirodhara is one of the best known ayurvedic therapies.

Nasya
