What is panchakarma?
Panchakarma (detox) is a rich experience that leaves both the mind and body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Recognising that many illnesses result from the build-up of toxins in the body that impair the functioning of its natural defenses: the lymph, circulatory and immune systems, panchakarma promotes healing and restoration by eliminating these toxins from the body. Unlike other detoxification programs, panchakarma is a gentle process that achieves deep cleansing without discomfort and allows rejuvenating energy to flow freely through the body.
Why should I attend an Ayurvedic detox?
You were born with everything you need to heal yourself. After millions of years of evolution, your body is equipped for any challenges that comes its way: germs, cancer cells, you name it. But a huge, profit-driven medical establishment has been built around healing from the outside in, instead of inside out. The power of self-heaing starts with detox. Nirvana Wellness detox retreats empower you to get well and stay well.
How do toxins acculmulate in the body?
Toxins enter our body through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and even through our skin. Excess stress hormones make it more difficult for our bodies to lose the fat we are trying to get rid of. Yeast can also overload out bodies with toxins that cause our immune systems to work overtime, inflammation sets in, leading to inflammatory weight gain. This is a simple fact of life. Additionally, exposure to processed foods, prescription and over-the-counter medication, alcohol and pollution in the air can really take a toll on our bodies. Particularly our digestive systems. Our native ancestors had access to pure air and clean foods that helped keep the waste their bodies produced moving swiftly and efficiently out of their system. However, today your system can easily become clogged with toxins and metabolic waste.
Detox: Purification to Rejuvenation
Detox, short for detoxification, is the removal of potentially toxic substances from the body. Although detox is primarily thought of as a treatment for alcohol or drug dependence, it is also a term used in alternative medicine to refer to diets, herbs, and other methods of removing environmental and dietary and other toxins from the mind and body towards general health and wellbeing. Ayurveda offers a powerful five step detoxification therapy consisting of a series of massage and cleansing treatments which are used to release the physical and emotional toxins stored in the body. We conduct two main detox residential retreats a year. Optional detox and purification programs can also be conducted together with regular retreats.
A detox retreat will help you get your system working efficiently. It will help you:
- Restore proper digestion. Promote regularity.
- Eliminate bloating, gas and shifting aches and pain.
- Cleanse your body of harmful pollutants and toxic chemicals.
- Produce more energy
- Build hormonal health: Overcome mood swings, low energy, cravings for sugar or salt, restless sleep, waning libido, weight gain, changes in skin tone.
- You’ll look and feel a whole lot better.
Cleansing is not about magic pills, sitting on the toilet for days or starving yourself. Medicine, diet and education must work together to safely eliminate the toxins we all have stored in our body’s tissues and memories.
Do this cleanse and you will be glad you did, because it’s not about a quick fix, it’s about building health and wellbeing for the rest of your life. It’s based on solid nutritional science, about whole foods, changing habits, moderation, understanding yourself and being a better you!
