Snehana and Swedana ( external application of oil and fomentation)

Vata, the strongest among Tridoshas, will not vitiate in that body which has been subjected to Snehana and Swedana 

The great Astavaidya tradition of Kerala has developed special procedures of applying Snehana and Swedana which include Abhyanga(oil massage), Kayaseka(pouring the oil on the body), Shirodhara(pouring the oil on the head), Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda (fomentation using boluses of rice cooked in milk and decoction of Cida cardifolia) etc.

The procedure for each person will be decided after examining the factors like strength, tolerance to heat and cold, climate etc. The Snehana and Swedana empowers you with great strength, tolerability, better state of digestion and metabolism enhanced function of sense organs and increased immunity.

Panchakarma ( the five purificatory procedures)

Ahalia assures you of classical Panchakarma chikitsa under strict controlled regimen.
Your eligibility to undergo any Panchakarma will be decided by the physician after a detailed examination.

This treatment will be given at three stages

• Poorvakarma (preparatory procedure) - This includes internal administration of Sneha( unctuous material like ghee) followed by fomentation. The total duration may extend between 5-7 days. .External application of Snehana, as mentioned above may be advocated in some conditions instead of internal administration.
  
• Pradhana karma (main procedure) - The nature of the procedure will be fixed in advance. Vamana (emesis) and Virechana( purgation) are conducted in a single day; Vastis(medicated enemas) will be given in numbers of 8/ 15/30. Nasya (nasal instillation of medicine) is performed for minimum 7 days either individually or in combination with Snehana and Swedana treatments.

• Paschat karma( post panchakarma procedure) - This consists of various procedures like Dhoomapana (medicated smoking ) etc. as well as a special diet regimen called Samsarjana karma. Ahalia emphasis upon the fact that there is no shortcut method to undergo Panchakarma.

Rasayana Chikitsa ( Rejuvenation therapy)

All the methods coming under the health promoting scheme indeed are meant for rejuvenating the body. Apart from these, Ayurveda has gifted the mankind with another concept called Rasayna Chikitsa wherein special medicines, either single or in combination will be administered to eligible persons who have undergone mandatory purification. This treatment enhances the quality of body tissues and Ojus, the vital capacity to resist the diseases. Also this enables the person to postpone the premature aging and to spend a comfortable life.
