## Panchakarma and Ayurveda in depth
Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest systems of natural medicine. At its centre is Panchakarma ("five actions"), a structured programme of cleansing and rejuvenating therapies. Aara delivers a complete Panchakarma process in three stages: preparation (Purvakarma — internal oleation with medicated ghee, Abhyanga oil massage, and Swedanam herbal steam), the main procedures (Pradhanakarma), and after-care (Paschatkarma — a staged return to normal diet and routine).

The five main Panchakarma procedures, each chosen for the individual after assessment:
- Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): a supervised cleansing procedure traditionally used to reduce excess Kapha.
- Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): supervised purgation, traditionally associated with balancing Pitta and supporting the liver, skin, and digestion.
- Basti (Medicated Enema): considered the most important action for Vata; offered as Anuvasana (medicated oil enema) and Asthapana (medicated decoction enema).
- Nasya (Nasal Administration): medicated oils administered through the nose for the head, sinuses, and mind.
- Supported by Abhyanga warm-oil massage and Swedanam herbal steam.

Ayurveda understands each person through the three doshas — Vata (movement), Pitta (transformation), and Kapha (structure). Treatment aims to bring the current imbalance back toward the person's natural constitution. Aara offers Ayurvedic support, as a complement to conventional medical care, for chronic and lifestyle-related concerns including joint pain and arthritis, back pain, stress and anxiety, insomnia, skin conditions, respiratory health, metabolic and weight concerns, and women's health. For any chronic condition, Ayurvedic care is used alongside — never instead of — a physician's care.
