At Agni, we do a complete detoxification program containing five cleansing procedures(Panchakarma) to purify the whole body by eliminating accumulated toxins. The five treatments include Vamanam (medicine induced emesis), Virechanam (medicine induced purgation), Anuvasanavasti (medicated oil enema),Niruhavasti (medicated decoction enema) & Nasya (medicated nasal drop administration). When healthy people undergo the Panchakarma procedures, it has got a preventive, restorative and rejuvenative effect by enhancing the body’s immunity through antioxidants & prophylactic properties. After each cleansing therapy, guests follow the mandatory Samsarjana kriya (graded administration of food) to recoup the digestive ability of the individual and attain a healthy body condition.
