How many days does the Panchakarma treatment last?
A complete Panchakarma cure can be from a minimum of 3 days to 12/21 days or more. The treatment includes a deep detoxifying procedure. We recommend the following options: 3 days as an initial trial 7/10 days of treatment for prevention revitalization and treatment of any conditions 14 days for severe disorders, 21 days for severe chronic disorders. Shorter treatment periods can lead to pleasant relaxation, but they do not have the same purifying effect as a full Panchakarma therapy.
What kind of disease does Panchakarma cure?
Panchakarma helps restore the balance of the entire physiology and thus helps with chronic, physical, mental and emotional illnesses and most importantly prevents the formation of diseases.
For what type of disease is Panchakarma treatment not recommended?
Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment is not recommended in cases of chronic diseases in the acute phase and in cases of acute inflammation. Full treatment is not recommended for physically very debilitated people and pregnant women. It is advisable in such cases to visit with one of our Ayurvedic physicians who will be able to prescribe Maharishi Ayurveda preparations and treatments most appropriate to the situation; Panchakarma can then be performed at a later time at the physician’s discretion.
Are Ayurvedic treatments and Panchakarma reimbursable by the health care system?
NO, they are not reimbursable by the Italian health care system because Ayurvedic medicine is not yet recognized by the national health care system. Proposed laws for the recognition of holistic medicines including Ayurveda have been submitted to the Ministry of Health.
Does one have to make reservations to get treatment at your center?
Yes, you have to make a reservation as there is also a pre-treatment phase to be performed at home that has to be arranged with the Ayurvedic doctor. Panchakarma treatment must be booked at least one week in advance.
What do I need to know for pre-treatment at home?
Panchakarma treatment involves pre-treatment. To further enhance the effects of the Panchakarma treatment, a few days before the start of the treatment, favor a vegetarian diet, have a light dinner of soups and drink plenty of hot water. This should be boiled for at least 10 minutes stored in a thermos. Our Ayurvedic doctor will give you a personalized pre-treatment diet.
What diet should be taken during treatment?
The diet includes an absolutely Ayurvedic vegetarian and organic cuisine. For guests taking full Panchakarma treatment, an individualized diet will be determined by the doctor at the beginning of treatment.
Is the Panchakarma treatment also good for weight loss?
In general, you can lose a few pounds after a few days of treatment. On the other hand, those who are underweight will follow an appropriate diet that will not cause them to lose weight.
What is the difference between a Panchakarma treatment in Italy and in one of Ayurveda’s countries of origin?
The journey one undertakes to do a Panchakarma in India causes some of the benefit of the cure to be lost since, just because of the journey, the imbalance of Vata is increased. In fact, it would be advisable for a few more days after the treatment to adopt a relaxed and quiet lifestyle regimen. The standards of quality and efficiency and sanitary hygiene for health care are considered by us to be at the highest level, whereas in several clinics in the East they do not reach our levels. In addition, Maharishi Ayurveda medicine treatments are performed according to the original techniques handed down by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while in the East it is very common to find clinics that do not practice Maharishi Ayurveda.
Is there a specific day of arrival?
No, you can arrive or leave any day of the week. Treatment can also be started on any day of the week.
