Shirodhara: A deeply relaxing therapy where medicated oil, milk, or buttermilk is poured in a continuous stream on the forehead. Shirodhara fosters profound relaxation, mental clarity, and stress relief.

Hydrotherapy: Utilising the physical properties of water, such as temperature and pressure, hydrotherapy stimulates blood circulation, alleviates symptoms of various ailments, and promotes overall health.

Snehana: This involves the application of herbal and mineral-based oils to the body. These oils penetrate deep into the tissues, delivering medicinal properties to every cell and loosen toxins lodged within the body.

Swedana: Fomentation therapies are applied to induce sweating. These therapies soften the tissues, making them more flexible, and help liquefy and eliminate toxins from the body.

Dr Singh further added that Panchakarma has many benefits such as complete body detoxification, elimination of toxins, increased metabolic rate, weight loss, strengthening digestion, relaxation of mind and body, tissue regeneration, boosted immunity, stress reduction etc.
