                        The ultimate in holistic cleansing systems. This legendary system of detoxification is taken to the next level at Dharana. Using our unique Ayurvedic analysis methods, which combine both manual pulse diagnosis with scientific Naadi Tarangini technology, we first determine the imbalances of your dosha – the three bio-energetic principles which make up every human body. This enables us to then determine the Prakruthi and Vikruthi of each individual, which is the gateway to establishing your innate constitution and where you have been drawn out of balance by everything from emotional stress to how you eat and exercise.

                        FAQ

                         Following a prescribed pre-Panchakarma diet can enhance the effectiveness of the programme & prepare the body for the programme. Our team will provide you with detailed pre-cleanse recommendations tailored to your individual needs.

                         Yes, you can still engage in gentle physical activities like yoga during Panchakarma. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercises to ensure your body can fully utilise the energy to heal during the detoxification process.

                          We encourage guests to prioritise their wellbeing during their stay, and we understand the need to balance work commitments. Our tranquil environment and supportive staff will facilitate your ability to work remotely, if necessary.

                           Our Ayurvedic practitioners are highly qualified and experienced in Panchakarma therapies. They hold degrees and certifications in Ayurveda and are dedicated to providing personalised care throughout your journey.

                        It is normal to experience mild discomfort or detoxification reactions, sometimes referred to as a ‘healing crisis,’ during Panchakarma. Our team will closely monitor your progress and provide gentle remedies and support to alleviate any discomfort.

                         Before starting Panchakarma, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and current medications to ensure your safety. Certain medications may need to be temporarily discontinued during the programme to prevent interactions.

                        The experience of Panchakarma varies for each individual, but you may initially feel a mix of physical and emotional effects as your body undergoes detoxification, sometimes referred to as a ‘healing crisis’.

                        Weight loss can occur as a natural side effect of Panchakarma due to the elimination of toxins and improved digestion. However, the primary goal of the programme is holistic purification and rejuvenation rather than solely weight loss.

                        Following Panchakarma, we recommend gradually reintroducing nourishing foods that are easy to digest. Our team will provide you with post-cleanse dietary recommendations to support your body’s transition back to regular eating habits.

                        To sustain the benefits of Panchakarma, we encourage incorporating Ayurvedic principles into your daily routine, including mindful eating, regular exercise, stress management techniques, and proper self-care practices.

                        The frequency of Panchakarma programmes depends on individual health goals and needs. Our Ayurvedic practitioners will work with you to determine the optimal timing for repeating the programme to maintain and enhance your wellbeing.

                        Guests above the age of 17 are eligible to opt for programmes for 5 nights and above.
