How dose it work?
Role of panchakarma:
Panchakarma is a “Shodhan” treatment explained in Ayurveda, Shodhan means purification, purification of imbalanced doshas and toxins out of the body and mind. Along with an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, dosha gets imbalanced because of seasonal changes too.Over a period of life, we get exposed to a lot of toxins as well as can create internal toxins because of deranged metabolism. Many of us have a tendency to hold negative emotions, trauma. These mental toxins affect the body’s metabolism. These different toxins are called “Ama” in Ayurveda. These amatoxins have a tendency to block the microchannels of the body. These toxins, along with excessively imbalanced doshas weaken our physical and mental conditions and deteriorate their functions lead to chronic degenerative and nonspecific problems. Ayurveda says if doshas are beyond the level of pacification they should be eliminated from the body. For that purpose, Panchakarma is indicated which irradiates vitiated doshas from their roots and purifies the entire physical and mental system by cleansing the accumulated toxins, resetting digestion and metabolism, and restoring the health, inner peace, and wellbeing.
Benefits of Panchakarma
Who can receive Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is recommended to bring harmony.
It is recommended for “Swastha” means a healthy person to maintain health as well as in “Aatur” means the diseased one to restore the balance. The seasonal cycle affects dosha balance. Vata is at peak aggravation during fall and early winter, Kapha is in spring and Pitta is in summer. Ayurveda recommends doing Panchakarma in the season when doshas are aggravated at peak levels. So for a healthy person seasonal cleanse is recommended for maintenance of health and wellbeing.

"I have an extensive medical history and that comes with a lot of problems that have been building over years. My husband and I looked specifically for authentic ayurveda treatments.We received the Panchakarma treatment for two weeks, split between morning and afternoon sessions. Dr. Kulkarni is extremely knowledgeable in her work and truly made sure to address all details of the treatment--mind and body. She detailed an extensive diet which we still abide by. Within the first few days, we began to notice a difference. Between the two of us, we had severe migraines, sinus issues, hip/knee pain, and general health concerns and saw significant improvements during and after the treatment.
Most importantly, it began a lifestyle change that continues to be beneficial. Dr. Kulkarni is thorough, capable, and extremely good at what she does. The treatment was wonderful and much needed. We highly recommend Dr. Kulkarni and Ayur Wellness ”

"Vaidya Archana Kulkarni is great to work with. She customized a treatment plan to meet my goals and was always patient with my setbacks by offering sound advice to help me get and stay on track. After doing the Panchakarma program, I feel like a new person. I lost nearly 15 lbs, have more energy and my mind is much clearer. I feel so much better now and it is much easier to stay on track and continue my progress toward a healthier and more balanced life. I can't wait to see what the future holds."

"I have done many cleanses before but I felt Ayurvedic panchakarma with Dr. Archana was the best experience. She has customized my panchakarma program and has provided very detailed instructions. The part I like the most is gradual changes in diet and lifestyle, setting a tone of detox, feeling everyday lighter. My friends were surprised knowing I am eating grains and fats for my cleansing and still losing weight. The panchakarma therapies were most refreshing. Many improvements happened in my health but the most are feeling re-energized.
