Ayurvedic Purifying (Panchakarma) Treatment Packages

When there are great excesses of doshas in the body, purificatory treatments are required to expel the doshas. These treatments vary in duration and intensity but all have the effect of detoxification and restoring the body and mind to balance*.

All these packages are led by Kate and may also involve a therapist. Some can be done on an out-patient basis and some will need to be carried out in the patient’s home. These will be only be recommended and carried out after a full consultation and will be adapted to suit the individual. Some indicative constituents are shown below.

[This is mostly carried out at the client’s home, with massages at the clinic]. £830.
