PROGRAM

The retreat program which is a specialized procedure of Ayurvedic treatment necessary for releasing unwanted toxins from the physical and astral bodies by giving a healthy status to the bodies. It not only cleanses your body but also lays the groundwork to re-energize and strengthen your bodily systems. With our modern lifestyles and food habits, unfortunately, more toxins into the bodies are taken than ever before. Over time these toxins build up, creating lethargic digestion, metabolism and unenergetic bodily systems which in turn creates a disturbed mind, restlessness and inadequate health. Detoxification program can also act as a natural preventative for future ill health and much needed rejuvenation of your bodily systems. At Bodhi Center our doctors are specialized in detox programs and includes natural techniques such as fasting, colon cleansing and holistic weight loss programs through balanced diet and practice of Yoga asana therapy.

Basti Ayurvedic Detox Program

Basti (enema) is considered the mother of all Panchakarma treatments since it cleanses the accumulated toxins from all the 3 Doshas (Bio elements) that are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, through the colon. Medicated oil or ghee and an herbal decoction are given as an enema to clean and oleation of the colon and increase the muscle tone. This procedure is usually applied for 5 to 7 days according to the health of the person. Basti helps you cure hemiplegia, paraplegia, colitis, convalescence, cervical spondylosis, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, digestive disorders, backache and sciatica, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, obesity, piles, sexual debility, and infertility.

The detox and weight loss retreat begins with an Ayurvedic consultation provided by our on-site Ayurvedic doctor. The in-depth exploration of your normal diet, lifestyle and habits, mental and emotional state, and many other personal details will provide the information necessary for our doctor to determine your body type from an Ayurvedic point of view and design your detox and rejuvenation program. The treatment plan will combine Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies along with specialized Yoga classes structured according to your body type.
