Treatment Description

The Panchakarma process involves a specialized cleansing diet, herbal enemas, purgatives, and detoxifying massage techniques such as abhyanga, the traditional ayurvedic massage performed by two therapists at the same time (four hands technique). Relaxation is also an important part of Panchakarma and one of the main tools is shirodhara in which a stream of warm oil gently bathes the forehead creating a state of deep relaxation in which optimal healing can occur.

Enchanted Mountain is an ideal setting for Panchakarma because of the tranquil natural surroundings, the abundance of lush green beauty, and the multitude of harmonious birdsongs that fill the environment. Enchanted Mountain Panchakarma retreats also include yoga classes twice daily, a relaxing half-hour session of yoga nidra each day, as well as workshops in yoga and ayurveda. The Enchanted Mountain Panchakarma programs are lead by Dr. Adriana Pisetti, who is a licensed MD, a licensed acupuncturist, and a certified ayurvedic specialist with advanced training in India. The yoga program is directed by Joseph and Lilian LePage known for their healing work with Integrative Yoga Therapy. All of the ayurvedic staff speak English.

The ayurvedic healing retreat includes:

• One ayurvedic evaluation with Dr. Adriana to determine your treatment throughout the week
• All of the specific ayurvedic treatments, herbs, and medicines that are used by the doctor throughout the week are included
• Workshops in yoga and ayurveda with recommendations for lifestyle change and stress management
• Twice daily yoga and meditation classes
• Daily practice of yoga nidra (deep relaxation)
