7 Nights Body Purification Therapy Program

1) DIAGNOSIS WITH AYURVEDA APPROACH – YOU & YOUR BODY
The initial step in all of the packages offered at Aanandakosha Ayurveda Retreat is a comprehensive health assessment conducted by the resident doctor. This evaluation aims to gain a complete understanding of each individual. It involves determining one’s constitution, assessing the balance of doshas, the condition of dhatus (tissues), the strength of agni (digestive fire), and the status of ojas (immunity) and sattva (mental harmony). The assessment process involves inquiries about lifestyle, diet, personal and professional life, medical history, and current issues. The individual’s ojas and state of mind significantly influence recovery potential, while understanding one’s constitution guides the selection of suitable therapies and treatment plans.

2) PLAN OF TREATMENTS & THERAPIES
Following the Ayurvedic diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe various treatments designed to balance doshas and enhance dhatus (tissues). These therapies involve the application of therapeutic substances, such as oils or powders, directly onto the body. Specific herbs, oils, and substances are chosen by the doctor and therapists to pacify the relevant dosha. For example, if vata is in excess, a massage using sesame oil might be recommended.

3) BALANCED AYURVEDIC CUISINE
Nutrition is regarded as a potent medicine in Ayurveda. A well-balanced, wholesome diet is the cornerstone of both mental and physical health and happiness. At Aanandakosha, the meals provided adhere to the eight guiding principles of Ayurveda, ensuring that the food consumed possesses the power to heal. These principles focus on aspects such as local and quality ingredients (organic and freshly made), proper combinations (avoiding incompatible foods), appropriate quantity, ideal preparation methods, dining surroundings, and the pace of eating. Guests can even request the chef to teach them recipes, enabling them to continue the Ayurvedic lifestyle at home.

4) YOGA & AYURVEDA
Yoga and Ayurveda, rooted in ancient Indian scriptures, are sister sciences that complement each other. When practiced correctly, yoga benefits individuals of all doshas by improving physical and mental well-being. Yoga extends beyond postures (asanas) to include rhythmic breathing to control energy levels (pranayama) and brief periods of relaxation. The yoga classes at Aanandakosha align with Ayurvedic principles by teaching Pranayama (breath control), Asanas (poses to enhance circulation and flexibility), and Savasana (relaxation exercises during and after yoga sessions). This holistic approach combines yoga with Ayurvedic treatments and cuisine.

5) AYURVEDA & THE MIND
As a leading Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy and Rejuvenation Retreat, Aanandakosha strives to promote peace and balance of the mind through each Ayurveda package. According to Ayurvedic and Yogic philosophy, the mind is a subtle energy field that continuously responds to sensory input. The three gunas – Sattva (harmony and clarity), Rajas (movement and agitation), and Tamas (inertia and contradiction) – represent the three energies of the mind. Aanandakosha’s goal, through Ayurvedic therapies, food, and yoga, is to cultivate Sattva as the dominant guna of the mind. The retreat’s welcoming staff, homely atmosphere, excursions, open walkways, and numerous serene corners throughout the property create an ideal environment for self-reflection and the integration of positive thinking into the healing journey.
