Panchakarma In Los Angeles
​
Our Toxic Overload
In 2018, we dumped 70 million tons of toxins into the atmosphere. That doesn’t include the pollutants in our food, soil and water or the toxic sludge that is accumulated from improperly digested food. Your body has its detoxification pathways. But when these pathways aren’t working properly, toxins build up and potentially trigger symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, rashes, and many different types of digestive disorders. These initial symptoms may evolve into more serious illnesses. Thus, detoxification therapies such as Panchakarma can be one of the most powerful tools for healing.

Ayo Ayurveda has been offering Panchakarma in Los Angeles, California for many years. Rita Burgos, Doctor of Ayurveda and Panchakarma Specialist, will be there with you every step of the way. Let us guide you through the process of healing and recovery.
What is Panchakarma?
Thousands of years ago, Ayurvedic sages developed a system of gentle detoxification and cleansing that continues to be effective for our modern world. This detoxification system is called Panchakarma.. In Ayurveda, the word for toxins is ama. These toxins (ama) are peeled away through the multi-step process of Panchakarma, allowing your body to reset and connect with its innate capacity to maintain balance. Panchakarma is one of the most powerful therapeutic tools in Ayurveda, both as a preventative tool and as a therapeutic tool to support the healing from disease and imbalances.
Panchakarma is a process that can go from 7-28 days. This is why we primarily offer Panchakarma in the Los Angeles California region, so we can be there with you every step of the way. Some Panchakarma programs can go longer, but most programs fall within this time frame. There are 3 parts of the Panchakarma process:
-
Preparatory process to dislodge and move toxins to prepare them for elimination
-
Techniques to remove toxins from the body
-
Rejuvenation and rebuilding digestive and lymphatic pathways
Some Information on the Process
Part of this process is done by you in your home and another part of the process is done at the center. Each plan is designed individually for each client. It starts with a comprehensive evaluation. From there, a step-by-step daily plan will be created for you. The plan involves a daily calendar of meal plans, internal and external therapeutic use of oil and ghee, massage, heat therapies, purgative herbs to move the accumulation out of the body and colon treatments. In addition, great emphasis is placed on integrating meditation and stress reduction practices during this period.
