7-Day Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment in Rishikesh

Seven days is enough 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 is 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 assessment. Based on your Prakriti (constitution) and current imbalance, your doctor prescribes the therapy best suited to you, usually Virechana (therapeutic purgation) or a short Basti sequence with Anuvasan and Niruha medicated enemas.

How Our 7 Day Panchakarma Programme Works: Purva, Pradhana & Paschat Karma

The classical sequence of preparation, elimination and recovery is compressed into one focused week without skipping a stage.

  1. Days 1 to 2

    Purva Karma: preparation

    Doctor assessment, dosha analysis and dietary protocol. Abhyanga and progressive Swedana start loosening toxins and directing them toward the digestive channels.

  2. Days 3 to 5

    Pradhana Karma: primary cleansing

    Virechana or a short Basti sequence, chosen by your doctor for your constitution, alongside daily Abhyanga and Shirodhara.

  3. Days 6 to 7

    Paschat Karma: recovery

    Graduated dietary reintroduction, restorative Abhyanga and Shirodhara, and a final consultation with a written take-home wellness plan.

Virechana

Medicated therapeutic purgation under full doctor supervision. Cleanses the liver, bile ducts and small intestine, and is the definitive treatment for Pitta imbalance.

Anuvasan Basti

An oil-based medicated enema that pacifies Vata and lubricates the colon. Gentler in action.

Niruha Basti

A herbal decoction-based enema for deeper colon and tissue cleansing, given in sequence with Anuvasan.

In the 7-day programme your doctor prescribes one of these, never both in full. Both are reserved for 14+ day programmes.

Panchakarma Treatments in Rishikesh: Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Virechana & Basti

Every treatment is dosha-specific and doctor-prescribed. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.

Abhyanga

  • Full-body synchronised massage
  • Dosha-specific medicated herbal oils
  • Given daily throughout the week

  • Relieves stiffness and heaviness

Shirodhara

  • Continuous warm medicated oil on the forehead
  • Restores the nervous system
  • Eases insomnia, stress and mild migraines

Basti: short sequence

  • Given when Basti, not Virechana, is prescribed

  • Anuvasan: oil-based, gentler
  • Niruha: herbal decoction, deeper cleansing

Virechana

  • Medicated therapeutic purgation
  • Given under full doctor supervision
  • Cleanses liver, bile ducts and small intestine

Nasya

  • Medicated nasal oil therapy
  • Clears respiratory channels
  • Sharpens mental clarity

7-Day Panchakarma Retreat Reviews from Our Guests

I only had a week to spare and wasn't sure it would be enough. Dr. Gurpreet prescribed Virechana on day 4 and by the end of the week my bloating and skin were both visibly better. A real first taste of what Panchakarma can do.
Neha Kapoor7-Day Panchakarma, first timer
The Anuvasan and Niruha Basti sequence on days 3 and 4 was intense but so well managed by the team. I left with far less lower back stiffness than I've had in years, and a clear diet plan to keep it that way.

7 Day Panchakarma Retreat Rishikesh: Frequently Asked Questions

Is 7 days enough for Panchakarma?

Yes, for a focused reset or first introduction to classical Panchakarma. All three stages are covered in a condensed sequence, including Virechana or a short Basti sequence. For chronic conditions, a 14-day or longer programme is recommended for deeper, lasting results.

Does the 7-day retreat include Virechana and Basti?

Yes. Depending on your constitution and goals, your doctor prescribes either a single Virechana session or a short Basti sequence, with Anuvasan (oil-based) and Niruha (herbal decoction-based) enemas, usually on days 4 to 5.

What is the difference between Anuvasan and Niruha Basti?

Anuvasan Basti is an oil-based medicated enema that gently pacifies Vata and lubricates the colon. Niruha Basti is a herbal decoction-based enema for deeper cleansing. When Basti is prescribed, they are given in sequence under doctor supervision.

Do I need to see a doctor before booking?
