The word ‘Panchakarma’ is derived from the two Sanskrit words – ‘Pancha’, which means ‘five’, and ‘Karma’, which means ‘actions’.

The Panchakarma retreat procedure is a five-step process that detoxifies the human body and draws out the accumulated toxins within; these toxins build over time due to poor lifestyle habits, wrong food choices, illnesses and environmental pollution.
