Many of us are becoming aware of the importance of preventative health care in this challenging, stress filled time. There is also a growing interest in the value of cleansing the body of accumulated toxins.
With this, the traditional form of health care from India known as Ayurveda is enjoying an increase in popularity. One of the principal forms of treatment in Ayurveda is the process of periodical cleansing of the body, consisting of five phases, known as Pancha Karma. This process, overseen by a qualified practitioner, is done as a way for our bodies to adapt to seasonal changes.
Ayurveda ancient teachings relate to modern day discoveries which, similarly, encourage us to eliminate toxins and avoid them to improve our health and prevent illness.
