Panchakarma FAQ

Short answers to the questions patients ask most, and where our full Panchakarma guide sits.

Key Takeaways
Panchakarma means five classical procedures: Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshana.
Every course runs in three phases and is planned after an assessment.
Full Panchakarma runs at Ghorpadi (Main) and Manjri Bk, Hadapsar.
Assessment comes first. Panchakarma is deferred in pregnancy, during an acute illness or fever, and in several ongoing conditions. The doctor reviews your history and medicines, and prescribed medicines continue as directed.
