Pañchakarma at Home

Is Āyurvedic medical Pañchakarma right for you?

Join a free class to find out.

Pañchakarma can give a person their life back in exchange for 2-4 weeks of dedicated time, attention and energy per year. One application is rarely enough for long-lasting positive effects. Instead, it should be considered an annual practice during middle age (30 to 70 years) to prime the body for regenerative Āyurvedic medicine, as recommended in classical Āyurvedic medical literature.

​

Eligible candidates must first be screened, and then can be properly prepared for 1 to 12 months prior to perform certain types of Pañchakarma on themselves at home.

​

Learn more about Āyurvedic medical Pañchakarma in the new publication, The Complete Guide To Virechana. All myĀyu members can access an early, digital copy of the complete book, included in their membership.

Access a free preview here. The book will be available on Amazon in August 2022.

​

To participate in Pañchakarma at home, first learn about the options and determine if you will do Mini Virechana or Complete Virechana.

​
