Kitcheri is a term commonly used in India for simple food that has come from the kitchen. The benefits of eating Kitcheri once a day for breakfast, lunch or dinner is that it stabilizes and regulates our metabolism. This is a gentle internal Ayurveda cleansing process which reduces any ama (toxin) accumulation in our stomach, intestines and colon. Kitcheri is prepared over a 2 day period of sprouting and cooking using organic mung beans and Indian herbs. It takes only a minute to prepare your meal, vegetables can be added and it tastes great! A daily diet program of kitcheri is recommended.

Purvakarma treatments are a combination of abhyanga treatments (medicated full body oil bath) for 2 hours and svedhana (heat bolus) treatments for 30 minutes to specific areas of your body.

Panchakarma treatments are internal purification treatments for more acute and chronic health issues. Preparation of the body is done with a series of Purvakarma treatments, then depending on your specific needs we apply one of the five purification methods (nyasam, vamana, vasti, virecana, rakta mokshanam). It reduces ama (toxin) from our environment and brings a long-lasting balance to your system. If needed Panchakarma treatments are only applied after a series of five Purvakarma treatments.
