What panchakarma involves

Panchakarma is a prescribed course of Ayurvedic treatment, not a spa package. A genuine programme begins with a consultation, where a practitioner assesses you and decides what the treatment should be. Two people starting on the same day can receive quite different programmes — that is how it is meant to work.

How long it takes

Most programmes run seven to twenty-one days. The first days are preparation, the main procedures follow, and a recovery period with a restricted diet comes after. A three-day “panchakarma” is at best the preparation phase. Plan for the recovery days rather than booking a flight for the day treatment ends.

Why prices vary so much

Because the programme isn't known until you have been assessed. A centre quoting a fixed price for a fixed number of days before meeting you has decided your treatment in advance. Expect an indicative range first and a firm figure after the consultation. It is also why we only show a price where a centre has declared one to us.

Residential retreat or day treatment

Some centres run panchakarma as a residential retreat, with a room, Ayurvedic meals and daily treatment included. Others treat you as a day patient while you stay elsewhere. A residential programme makes the diet and rest far easier to keep, and the recovery period is part of the treatment, not an extra.

What to ask before you book

Who carries out the consultation, and what are their qualifications? What will the programme include, day by day? Are the room and meals included? What happens if the practitioner recommends a different length of stay from the one you planned? And if you have a medical condition or take regular medication, speak to your own doctor before booking.
