Pancha Karma Purification Cures

The Ayurvedic purification cures in our soma house are particularly effective for several reasons. The house in Vedic architecture strengthens all health-promoting impulses through its structure, which is based on cosmic laws. The high order and energetic effect of the house supports the order processes that are important for healing and recovery.

Every Ayurvedic cleansing cure reduces all known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases "in passing", so to speak: Blood lipid levels, blood pressure, body weight and sugar metabolism improve significantly with each Pancha Karma cure. Each in-patient Pancha Karma cure is tailored to the personal situation of each spa guest.

One of the Pancha Karma treatments is particularly effective for patients with heart problems: it is called Hrid Basti, literally "enema for the heart". Oil is placed in a dough ring on the chest, which nourishes, strengthens and calms the heart through reflexive impulses as well as medicinal plant substances conveyed through the skin.

A soothing oil bath on the heart. This treatment is recommended for physical conditions of the heart and emotional conditions such as heartache, sadness and loss.
