Panchakarma is particularly recommended when a patient has deep impairment of doshas (vata, pitta and kapha), excess accumulation of ama (toxins), and severity of symptoms. You need to consult an Ayurvedic physician to understand the state of your doshas and degree of toxin accumulation in your body. The unbalance of doshas and severe increase in toxins may be visible through a variety of physical, mental and emotional symptoms. You can also go for Panchakarma for periodic rejuvenation and detoxification. It is particularly recommended during the change of seasons, especially during spring and autumn. If you regularly suffer from joint pains, headache, muscular problems, stress and anxiety, going for Panchakarma will definitely help you.

7 years ago I had slipped disc and I had been undergoing treatment for several years. When things did not work out, my mother recommended Panchakarma from an Authentic Ayurveda expert, and in my eyes Jiva Ayurveda was the best. So, I met with a Jiva doctor and started Panchakarma. After 4 sessions I already feel the improvement.
I cannot remember how much money I have spent on pain killers for Migraine. Chemicals in pain killer was affecting my liver. So finally my father brought me to meet a Jiva doctor. I started experiencing after taking Jiva’s herbal medicines and Panchakarma therapy. The treatment also healed my liver problems. If you have migraine, I definitely recommend Jiva Ayurveda.
I came from Chennai to Faridabad for Panchakarma treatment. Though there are many good panchakarma centres I wanted to come to Jiva because I trust Jiva for the authentic approach to Ayurveda they take here. I did 8 sessions since my problems were at an advanced stage, and the doctor also gave me herbal medicines. Now the pain is less, and my body feels lighter.
