Whole body cleansing

A wonderful way to detox the body is a combination of Kizhi, Nasyam and Virechana. When you regularly cleanse your body internally, the more efficient your system is in maintaining all other functions. Toxic chemicals easily find their way into our body through the air we breath, the food we eat and the water we drink. These toxins need to be eliminated before they disrupt normal metabolic systems and processes. Although the body is designed to eliminate toxins, it cannot always handle the overload present in today's environment. If you allow these toxins to remain inside your body, it disrupts the natural flow of energy in your body. This Ayurvedic treatment cleanses and remove toxins from the lymphatic system and digestive system. It removes clogged sinuses, cleans and clears the head channels, stimulates the brain cells and central nervous system. An excellent system to improve our immune function.
Duration: 120 minutes - 150€
