According to Ayurveda, good health depends upon our capability to fully metabolize all aspects of life, assimilating that which nourishes and eliminating the rest. When we can't completely digest our food, experiences, and emotions, toxins accumulate in our bodily tissues, creating imbalance and -ultimately- disease. In addition, modern society has become a toxic assault on the human body, from pesticides, herbicides, household cleaners, building materials to air pollution, noise pollution and water pollution.  Panchakarma is an elegant cleansing process that releases stored pollutants and restores the body's innate healing ability.
