PANCHAKARMA
Programme goals: To detoxify both the mind and body of harmful toxins and negative thoughts in a controlled and safe manner.
The Panchakarma programme is for 21 nights and follows 3 distinct stages.
The first stage is Purvakarma or pre-purification measures. Before purification begins, there is a need to prepare the body to aid toxin removal. The programme starts with improving your digestion both at the cellular and gastrointestinal level through digestive juice stimulants (dipana), and digestants (pachana). This is followed by Snehapana or escalating consumption of medicated ghee for three to seven days, depending on the strength and nature of an individual. Next is Snehana which is the application of oil to the entire body with a massage technique that helps toxins move towards the gastrointestinal tract. Alongside this is Svedana or therapeutic sweating and is given every day immediately following the Snehana.
The second stage consists of main panchakarma cleansing therapies which include Vamana (emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Kashaya Vasti (Decoction enema), Sneha vasti (medicated oil enema) and Nasyam (elimination of toxins through the nasal passages and para-nasal sinuses.
The third stage is Paschatkarma which focuses on special diets to rest and rejuvenate the cleansed system, along with natural herbal remedies to replenish the digestive enzymes and immune system.
Panchakarma is a very special Ayurvedic procedure and requires proper guidance from a highly trained and skilful Ayurvedic practitioner. At Ananda, Panchakarma is performed under the supervision of the expert Ayurvedic doctors and customized for each guest with their specific constitution in mind.
While the sessions are a broad guideline of inclusions, Ananda’s Panchakarma programme is customized for each individual based on age group, health conditions, constitution, gender and other factors like digestion, and existing toxin levels. Hence it is important to share a detailed medical history prior to the inception of the programme.
Lifestyle changes are prescribed following return from Ananda.

Essential oils are infused with sea salt for a powerful aromatherapy body scrub to remove toxins from the skin. Other therapeutic treatments move the toxins and metabolic waste through circulatory channels as a preparation to eliminate them through cleansing procedures. Sodhana procedures like medicated oil enema and decoction enemas completely eliminate the toxins from the body and boost the metabolic rate.
Proper balanced diet based on your body type and Ayurvedic lifestyle routine is prescribed as after care to maintain the result of the cleansing and to boost metabolism.

Symptoms of low testosterone depend on the age of person, and include decreased sense of well-being, depressed mood, difficulties with concentration and memory, fatigue, moodiness and irritability and loss of muscular strength, low sex drive, and erectile dysfunction.

POST COVID REJUVENATION
Chronic ailments programme
Programme goals: Designed to treat the post COVID symptoms such as headaches, reduced ability to smell or taste, fatigue, to respiratory system issues, sleep disorders, pain, cognitive & neurological impairment. Long COVID refers to an extended experience of COVID-19 symptoms without recovery for several weeks or months after the start of their symptoms. As per Ayurveda, the extended post infection phase is the result of lower immunity & imbalanced bio-energies lodged in the tissue & waste systems. Hence the treatment protocol is to build immunity, nourish & revitalize all systems
The programme starts with comprehensive assessment of specific symptoms & system dysfunction. Treatment process is through Ayurvedic therapies, diet, herbal medicines and supplements, yoga, pranayama & meditation.
The pathophysiology of infection of the Covid 19 virus from the Ayurvedic perspective can be explained by considering it as a Samsargaja/ Aupasargika (infectious) in nature. The degree of vitiation of Tridosha is variable owing to magnitude of infection or individual Sharira Bala (immunity) of the affected person. The standard protocol for management of the disease is performing Panchavidha Shodhanam (Panchakarma), administration of Rasayana (immunomodulatory supplements) and specific therapies. Also adopting Sadvritta (ethical code of conducts), wholesome food habits as well as lifestyle and administration of other supportive psychological therapeutic measures, will help in managing COVID-19.
The ancient traditional principles of management in the pandemic diseases can be precisely understood through the integrative method. Ayurveda physicians have described performing the Panchakarma in the preliminary stage, which may fight the viral entry into the body or may reduce viral load in the infected individual. Administration of Rasayana may delay the process of pathogenesis by increasing the immunity and eliminating the viral toxic effects on the body. The specific herb therapy may help in completely alleviating the residual viral load.

AYURVEDA PANCHAKARMA PROGRAMME
Programme goals: The qualified Ayurvedic doctors and therapists offer the full spectrum of Ayurvedic treatments. Panchakarma as a protocol is offered only after due consideration, followed fully during a minimum of21 days.
Often misunderstood as just a random series of Ayurvedic treatments, Panchakarma is in fact a very specific protocol, with a defined minimum duration. Not suitable for everyone, therefore you will be assessed by an experienced Ayurvedic doctor before booking a retreat.
Vana Six Sense is one of the few places in the world where Panchakarma is made equally comfortable and fruitful, through unique cuisine, complementary therapies, healing spaces, caring team, and beautiful environment.
