Vamana Panchakarma

Vamana Panchakarma (vomiting or emesis)

Emetic Detox, where first the doshas are accumulated from the body into the stomach, where it is then thrown out of the body with vamana.  Common to balance Kapha Dosha.

Vamana Panchakarma can be of benefit to breathing difficulties, coughs & hoarseness in the throat and bad breath. Can help to ease drowsiness & lethargy. Indigestion, sinuses & migraines. Weakness & lightness of the head and body.

Recommended length of Detox:

Our Ayurvedic detox programs need a minimum of 7 nights, because of this it is advisable to allow for extra nights before and at least after your detox before departing for your onward travel. This allows for rest and recovery time. Two types of Panchakarma can be completed in a 14 night stay, but the extra rest days are still advisable.  We recommended a stay of 8 or 15 nights.

What to expect:

Your detox starts with a consultation by our in-house Ayurvedic Doctor assessing your body constitution, meaning you are assessed as a person, before any ailment. This includes history & current living and lifestyle habits alongside a physical assessment. In this way our Doctor can assess your dosha type according to the Ayuvedric Tridosha which plays a vital role in your detox program.

Our Doctor will create a specialised meal plan to accompany your chosen detox program, this will be available to you either at our buffet meal times or as & when you require. Our restaurant team will support you with this during your detox.

During the process of detoxification your body will feel fatigued and weaker, because of this we do advise that the daily yoga classes are only taken if you are feeling energized & able. Our doctor will also advise you on this during your consultation and during the course of your detox program. The detox is a time for rest, over exerting yourself will be detrimental to your detox and health.
