According to Ayurveda, good health is dependent upon our capability to fully metabolise the nutritional, emotional and sensory information that we ingest. When our digestive power, known as agni (fire), is robust, we create healthy tissue, eliminate waste products efficiently and produce a subtle essence called ojas. Ojas, which may be envisioned as the inner-most sap of our psychophysiology is the basis for clarity of perception, physical strength, and immunity. On the other hand, if our agni is weakened, digestion is incomplete. This accumulation of toxic residue is collectively known as ama.

The accumulation of toxins, or ama, in the system leads to obstructions in the flow of energy, information, and nourishment and is the basis of illness. Panchakarma therapy, an ancient form of purification developed thousands of years ago in India, can be used to remove ama and excessive doshas. By cleansing and detoxifying the body, the process helps to re-build the
natural fire within the body (agni) which naturally burns ama from the body, prevents it from re-forming and aids in digestion.

Accumulated ama is the root cause for a number of conditions that afflict us, including life-threatening ones. Panchakarma constitutes the foremost purification and rejuvenation therapy because it reverses the mechanisms that carry toxic waste products from the digestive tract into all the other tissues of the body. In other words, it reverses the movement of ama, bringing it back to the digestive tract, and then gently expels it from the body.

At Ayurveda Retreat we have successfully merged the best of Western comfort with the ancient art of healing. Panchakarma therapy — which enables the body to release accumulated ama with the use of a variety of techniques — gently cleanses the upper respiratory and elimination systems, strengthens the immune system, and restores harmony to the body and bliss to the body,mind, and soul. Panchakarma is generally regarded to be the ultimate mind
body detoxifying experience.
