Your programme
Find a programme that fits your needs
Start with your health history, current treatment and what you hope to address. The consultation helps you understand which programme may be appropriate and what it involves, rather than choosing by name alone.
Published minimum stays: Ayurvedic Panchakarma Detoxification Therapy, 14 nights; Complete Rejuvenation & Detoxification Therapy, 7 nights. Your doctor recommends the programme and length of your stay.
Included in these Ayurveda programmes: three vegetarian or vegan meals a day, to the dietary prescription; two Ayurvedic therapies a day, including herbal steam; daily consultation and monitoring by the attending physician; and group yoga each morning and guided meditation each evening. Your doctor prescribes the therapies themselves.
