What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine — a systematic, five-fold bio-purification process that expels accumulated toxins (ama) from the body's deepest tissues. Unlike symptomatic treatments, Panchakarma addresses the root cause of disease by restoring the natural balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
At Aatreya Ayurveda, every Panchakarma programme begins with a thorough Prakriti (constitution) assessment, followed by a customised sequence of therapies designed for your unique physiology.
The Five Karmas

Preparatory Procedures (Purvakarma)
Before the main Panchakarma therapies begin, the body must be prepared through Snehana (internal and external oleation with medicated ghee and oils) and Svedana (therapeutic sweating). These procedures soften the tissues, loosen toxins, and direct them to the gut for elimination.
