Home » Panchakarma Therapies
Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s most powerful and scientifically structured detoxification therapy.
At Maitri Ayurveda, we offer authentic, personalised Panchakarma therapies under the supervision of experienced Ayurvedic doctors, helping you cleanse toxins, restore balance, and rejuvenate from within.
The ancient 5-action (Vaman, Virechan, Basti, Raktamokshan, Nasyam) purification method for complete wellness
Panchakarma (“Five Purification Therapies”) removes deep-rooted toxins from the body and balances the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
It helps restore digestive fire (Agni), improves immunity (Ojas), and corrects the root cause of chronic health issues—not just the symptoms.
At Maitri Ayurveda, every Panchakarma program is:
✔ Doctor-supervised
Each therapy plan is customised based on your health condition, medical history, stress levels, digestion, and dosha imbalance.
✔ Done with authentic Ayurvedic medicines
We use freshly prepared herbal oils, medicated ghee, powders, and decoctions.
✔ Performed by certified Panchakarma therapists
✔ Conducted in dedicated therapy rooms for maximum relaxation
✔ Designed to address modern lifestyle conditions
Stress, sleep issues, weight gain, digestion problems, PCOD, fatigue, chronic pain, sinus issues, migraines, hormonal imbalance & more.
Panchakarma supports the healing of both chronic and lifestyle disorders:
