Panchakarma - a recipe for better health
Panchakarma as prescribed by Ayurveda is one of IVAC's principal purification treatment. Panchakarma or the "five actions" are the therapeutic means of eliminating impurities from the body. It is a series of five therapies or steps that help remove deep rooted stress and impurities from the physiology while balancing the doshas - those energies or forces that govern all biological functions. There are five basic, cleansing procedures or 'Shodhanas' in Panchakarma. They are Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya & Rakthamoksham.

Beauty Therapy
In the context of Ayurveda, inner and outer beauties are intimately related. The more we nurture ourselves, the more radiant we become physically and expressively- regardless of our particular body shape or proportions. Ayurveda understands beauty as being a product of general physical health and appropriate daily care. The emphasis is on self-knowledge and development of positive routines and habits that will bring out the best in each one.
"The secret of youth and beauty is the proper circulation of vital life fluids and the regular discharge of waste materials." Harish Johari.
Nothing helps the body do what Johari suggests more than a massage. In the Ayurvedic tradition, massage is considered just as essential to health and beauty as good diet and other lifestyle habits.
An Ayurvedic facial massage activates deep centers of the brain, reflex points and facial circulation to totally soothe the body. Tensions in the neck, shoulders and face are freed and energy is rebalanced from head to toe. Herbal extracts and essential oils may be added for their additional healing properties and pleasant fragrances.

The Ayurvedic Detox
Toxins from chemicals in our food, pollution in the environment, drinking, smoking, stress, chemical medication, etc. all accumulate in our body over a period of time. These toxins are the cause of myriad diseases and health and emotional problems. Western medicine has had no success in removing these toxins safely and effectively from our body. In Ayurveda detoxification and rejuvenation is achieved with 'Panchakarma', which removes deep-seated toxins naturally without any negative side effects.
Obesity
Obesity statistics are increasing all over the world and it is becoming one the world's biggest health problem. Recent reports suggest that it may soon overtake cigarette smoking as a serious health risk. These statistics are alarming because being overweight, and especially being obese, increases our risk of many health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, stroke, back and joint pain, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, gallstones, fatty liver, infertility, breathlessness, depression, insomnia, etc.
Kshar Sutra
Kshar Sutra means alkaline thread, it is an ancient method of painless surgical removal developed by Sushruta, the father of modern surgery and author of the great Ayurvedic text Sushruta Samhita. The thread is prepared with special medicines and then applied by a qualified Ayurvedic specialist. This allows for painless removal of piles and anal fistula.
