Our Northern California Ayurvedic Health Center is now open to the public. Anyone interested in removing deep-seated toxins via the luxury of rejuvenative spa therapies must come and receive treatment at our Pancha Karma Center. We practice the traditional form of Ayurvedic Detoxification and Rejuvenation. Our treatments are complete with the most potent of herbal oils, herbal minerals, and a highly experienced and highly qualified staff of Pancha Karma Technicians. These therapies are practiced in the truest form of Pancha Karma. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Natural Healing in its highest form. You will experience significant change in your body and your mind. This is the real thing.

It is essential for everyone to maintain their health, daily with a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle, organic foods and herbal supplements. This ensures lasting health, contentment and longevity. Though, in addition to daily practices, there is a very powerful method of ensuring one's optimum health and longevity. Pancha Karma takes this concentrated approach to health.

In a Five-Day Treatment you receive three hours of treatment a day. Daily treatment includes Herbalized Oil Massage with Pressure Point Therapy, Heated Bolus Treatment (heated cotton bags of herbs pressed into the various marma points repeatedly) for the deepening of the penetration of the herbal oils and dilation of the tissues and increased circulation to the organs and deep tissues. These oils carry a tremendous amount of nourishment and life force / life energy. This treatment combination alone is incredibly healing and effective. Exfoliation and Herbal Powder Scrub ensure the removal of uprooted skin toxins and also further nourishment to the skin and blood via the organic, potent skin powders. Shirodhara, Relaxation Treatment is a tremendous therapy for rejuvenation from the stresses of illness, age and lifestyle. We offer many other therapies, depending on the exact needs of each individual.

The goal of Pancha Karma is two-fold: 1-open the channels of circulation and elimiantion to remove toxic residue, 2-rejuvenate these cleansed areas with the revitalizing nourishment of herbal minerals and herbal oils for optimum functioning and immunity.

The heated oil massage treatments dissolve the toxic residue that is lodged in the various tissues; blood tissue, muscle, fat, bone, nerve, brain and endocrine systems. Just like melting wax into a liquid form, these aam toxins of poisonous residue will become liquid again and thus begin to move. In our clinic we are able to move these toxins back to the digestive tract where they can be expelled from the body completely. When this occurs, there is such a deep release and relief to the system that for months afterward people often tell us how they continue to notice more and more improvement as time goes on. The reason for this is because when the blocks of toxic residue are removed, circulation opens and thus the deeper tissues such as aching joints, congested organs and stressed nerves can finally receive healing nourishment and fluid nutrition from the blood and lymph. Their flexibility improves, their sleep is deeper, their minds clearer, their immunity stronger and also their awareness improves. When there is less distraction in the delicate nervous system, this makes the effort to sustain focus no longer arduous nor exhausting.

Toxic residue blocks the vital mind and body channels but also it corrodes these various tissues it is in contact with. This aam-toxin residue (undigested material) acts as a rusting agent. It attaches to cells and organs and corrodes them - this is a speeding up of the aging process. The oxidization process is a rusting, a corrosion of tissues. Aching joints, lowered immunity, mental fog, unhealthy skin and a myriad of ailments are directly and effectively improved through these Ayurvedic Therapies. Receiving regular treatments is tremendously healing and builds lasting vitality.

Subsequent therapies include Herbalized Steam Treatments with herbal oils to induce greater relaxation of the tissues to occur so that the deepest of tissues expand and release the melting sticky toxins.

Let there be no doubt: These treatments are very luxurious. You will experience very deep relaxation, on a daily basis. This deep 'let-go' allows the body's nervous system to 're-set'. The nerves, brain and mind will remember how they operated as a child, completely relaxed yet completely awake. This experience of being wide-awake yet sublimely tranquil is a wonderful state to ahcieve. Continually re-minding your chemistry of this state is indescribably potent. In the ancient texts of the east, The famous Buddhist Yoga Master Padmasambhava instructed Yeshe-Shogyal Ma: "To practice spirituality (dharma) without the science of herbs, is ignorance". This is the potency of Pancha Karma. When blockages in the mind and body channels are cleared and open, life energy flows in the form of vitality, intelligence and a newly awakened mind.

Ayurveda is a science of balance and thus does not provoke the body to heal it. We work within the body's natural rhythms and with the innate functions of the body to detoxify and rejuvenate compromised areas of chronic imbalance.

After the treatments of Oil Massage, Localized Hot Herb Pack Treatment and Herbal Steam Treatment, a mixture of herbs and powders is applied and pressed deeply into the skin to adhere to dead skin and loosened toxins. This treatment is a strong exfoliation and removes harmful sticky residue from the deeper layers of the skin. The circulation is invigorated with the deep pressure of this hot powder treatment. When the lymph system is stimulated in this way, it mobilizes long-standing toxic residue and brings it to the surface for easy removal. When the lymphatic system is 'drained' in this way, a more purified and more healing liquid lymph (blood tissue) is now produced for the healing and cleansing of all subsequent body tissues. Your skin will glow and your energy will be revitalized. This is a very healing treatment on its own, but in concert with the loosening of toxins by means of the herbal oil massage, herbal bolus pressure packs and a steam treatment, this exfoliation treatment makes a tremendous difference in your health.

Remember: this is a five-day treatment package, and each day deeper and deeper toxic residue is released from the tissues and organs and permanently removed. You can however, receive excellent benefit from a three-day or even one-day treatment package.

After this two hour session of world class body work with potent herbal products, you receive ShiroDhara. This therapy takes you to the heart of meditation. As you are resting comfortably, our therapists pour a warm, continuous stream of herbalized oil onto your forehead. With a gentle massage of the head and neck, you naturally rest into a deep state of serenity. This is the Ayurvedic way of 're-setting' the nervous system. In a healthy individual, the body and mind are able to be engaged in activity and simultaneously remain centered and calm. Many people, night after night, sleep and yet do not feel rested. They are plagued with a busy mind that is critical and anxious. In this treatment you will be astounded at the complete sense of satisfaction that you experience. This treatment is effective for many conditions: nervous anxiety, frustration, hypersensitivity, insomnia, allergy and asthma, over active mind, critical mind, worry and grief, just to name a few. When the mind is at ease the world is at ease. Your state of mind dictates your quality of life. Experience contentment and know what it is to feel whole again. Get the experience of your true nature. When the nervous system rests deeply, the previously bound nerves can release old patterns that affect our psychology and create our thought patterns. Also when the nervous system heals, all of our cells and organs can again function at optimal levels.

For further removing toxic residue we offer Basti. This is the Ayurvedic Enema Therapy. Our method is very gentle and very effective. We don't flood the colon with an overabundance of water. We brew and then apply an herbalized tea specific to your needs with organic oils so that the cleansing is gentle, moisturizing and enhances the functioning of the colon and intestines. This is one of the most nourishing and cleansing methods that exists. Enema therapy must be done with care and precision and that is our specialty. Natural treatments such as this enema therapy originated from the science of Ayurveda.

We offer several other very specific and traditional Ayurvedic therapies, including Virechana (purgation of toxins), Vamana (for some respiratory and sinus conditions), Nasya (deep cleansing of the sinus passages), Netra Basti (eye treatments for vision and eye comfort), Head, Neck and Shoulder therapies, Localized Dharas (oil treatments for organs and systems including the spine), Facials (for transforming the health of your skin), Foot therapies (oil and pressure point massage), Herbal and Salt Baths.

Ayurveda is the Mother of Medicine, the oldest healing science on the planet. Its methods for healing and its understanding of the human body hold true for the mind, the emotions and the spirit. According to Ayurvedic Science, nature is one living entity and she displays herself in various forms, plants, animals and human beings. An Ayurvedist knows the Science of Life (how life forms, how it is correctly maintained and how life deteriorates). Thus, a true Ayurvedist can help all living beings, including the environment, the macrocosm of the human microcosm. Ayurveda is the mastery of the life process. A true practitioner of this science is an extraordinary individual and a wealth of knowledge.

Also included in this treatment is the experience of our beautiful Redwood Forest Retreat. You will enjoy being in the care of several dedicated Dharma Practitioners. Your food is freshly prepared, organic and Ayurvedic. You will be hosted with enthusiasm and cared for completely. Take this oppurtunity to immerse yourself in this most potent form of healing. Once per year a person must do a five day pancha karma program to effectively address their health needs and to avoid debilitating setbacks. Complex, chronic conditions will of course benefit from more frequent therapy retreats. The cost of modern medicine is high and side effects of drugs and surgeries can be difficult to endure. Invest in preventative therapies and know that you have accessed an incredible system of health and lasting change.
