7 Day Panchakarma
Reset & Renewal Retreat
One focused week of classical Panchakarma — preparation, deep cleansing with Virechana or Basti, and a graduated recovery. Ideal as your first Panchakarma or a dedicated annual reset, guided daily by a BAMS doctor.
Single private · ₹8,500/night per person
One Week.
Real Classical Cleansing.
Seven days is enough time to move through all three classical stages of Panchakarma at a condensed but genuine pace — preparation, a primary eliminative therapy, and a short recovery. It's the programme we recommend most often for first-time guests, or for anyone returning for a focused annual reset.
Unlike a generic spa week, every day is guided by your BAMS doctor's daily assessment. Based on your Prakriti (constitution) and current imbalance, your doctor prescribes the eliminative therapy best suited to you — usually either Virechana (therapeutic purgation) or a short Basti sequence using Anuvasan and Niruha medicated enemas.

How the 7 Days Unfold
The classical Panchakarma sequence — preparation, elimination, and recovery — is compressed into one focused week without skipping a stage.
Purva Karma
Preparation — Days 1 to 2Doctor assessment, dosha analysis and dietary protocol. Abhyanga and progressive Swedana begin loosening toxins and directing them toward the digestive channels.
Pradhana Karma
Primary Cleansing — Days 3 to 5Our process typically offers Virechana or a short Basti sequence — Anuvasan and Niruha medicated enemas — chosen by your doctor for your specific constitution, alongside daily Abhyanga and Shirodhara.
Paschat Karma
Recovery — Days 6 to 7A graduated dietary reintroduction, restorative Abhyanga and Shirodhara, and a final doctor consultation with a written take-home wellness plan.
Our Process: Virechana & Basti
Across every duration we offer, these two eliminative therapies remain the heart of our Panchakarma protocol. In the 7-day programme, your doctor prescribes one of them based on your daily assessment — never both in full, which is reserved for 14+ day programmes.
- Virechana — medicated therapeutic purgation, administered under full doctor supervision to cleanse the liver, bile ducts and small intestine. The definitive treatment for Pitta-related imbalance.
- Anuvasan Basti — an oil-based medicated enema that pacifies Vata and lubricates the colon, gentler in action.
- Niruha Basti — a herbal decoction-based medicated enema for deeper colon and tissue cleansing, given alongside Anuvasan in sequence.

Is the 7-Day Retreat Right for You?
A focused week is ideal for a first Panchakarma experience, a preventive reset, or mild-to-moderate imbalances. Chronic conditions generally benefit from 14 days or more.
First-Time Guests
A genuine, doctor-guided introduction to classical Panchakarma without the commitment of a longer programme.
Annual Reset
Returning guests use 7 days as a yearly seasonal cleanse to maintain the gains from a longer programme done previously.
Stress, Fatigue & Mild Sleep Issues
Shirodhara and Yoga Nidra across the week meaningfully ease everyday stress, tension and light insomnia.
Sluggish Digestion
Mild Ama build-up, bloating and irregular digestion respond well to a single, well-timed Virechana or Basti.
Well Suited To
- First-time Panchakarma guests wanting an authentic introduction
- Busy schedules that can free up one focused week
- Mild to moderate stress, digestive or sleep concerns
- A preventive, seasonal reset rather than a chronic-condition protocol
Please Consult Us First If You Are
- Managing a chronic condition — 14+ days is usually recommended instead
- Pregnant, recently post-surgery, or managing an unstable condition
- On medication that may interact with purgation or Basti therapy
- Under 12 or above 75 years of age
