What the word is actually doing in this industry covers two quite different products. One is a classical medical procedure — Panchakarma, prescribed by a physician after examination, delivered over three weeks with preparation and re-feeding phases — which is a serious intervention with a serious pharmacopoeia behind it. The other is a juice fast with a colonic and an infrared sauna, sold in five nights.","We sell the first and decline the second, which is why several of the most commercially attractive programmes in this market are not on this site. The Panchakarma pages here are explicit that the five actions themselves take a day each at most, and that what takes three weeks is the preparation before and the rebuilding after — and that the rebuilding is where the benefit is made and kept.","For most people asking about a reset, the honest recommendation is a Mayr cure or a rejuvenation programme rather than a purification one.
