Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Boone, North Carolina, the Art of Living Retreat Center has reintroduced its renowned Panchakarma program, offering a deeply restorative Ayurvedic detox experience. This sacred healing practice is now an integral part of the Center’s extensive retreat offerings, designed to promote holistic well-being in a serene mountain sanctuary.

The program is led by Dr. Medha Garud, the Director of Ayurveda Programs, who brings an impressive 3,000+ hours of clinical experience to the retreat. Under her expert guidance, guests embark on a transformative journey that blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with personalized care, allowing them to cleanse, restore, and revitalize their mind and body.

A Deeply Purifying Ayurvedic Experience

Panchakarma, a time-honored Ayurvedic practice, is revered for its ability to eliminate toxins and restore balance to the body and mind. This holistic detox process begins with one-on-one consultations with Dr. Medha, where each guest receives a customized wellness plan tailored to their individual health needs.

The program incorporates a personalized diet, herbal remedies, and a series of therapeutic treatments designed to gently release physical and emotional toxins. Practitioners of Panchakarma believe that the accumulation of toxins is the root cause of many ailments, making this ancient practice a powerful tool for deep healing and rejuvenation.

Eight Signature Therapies for Profound Healing

Under Dr. Medha’s expert supervision, guests experience a carefully curated selection of eight transformative treatments, including:

• Abhyanga – A traditional Ayurvedic massage where warm, herbal-infused oil is applied to the entire body. This therapy loosens toxins, soothes the nervous system, and promotes deep relaxation and nourishment.
• Additional therapies that complement the detoxification process, supporting physical, mental, and emotional renewal.

With its peaceful mountain setting, expert Ayurvedic care, and deeply healing therapies, the Panchakarma program at the Art of Living Retreat Center offers an unparalleled opportunity to reconnect with your inner self, release stress, and restore vitality.

“Art of Living Retreat Center’s Panchakarma journeys are personalized for guests whose intentions are to release toxins and restore harmony within the mind and body on a deeper cellular level,” says Dr. Garud. “This is an incredibly powerful practice, the cornerstone of Ayurveda, and its benefits have been utilized for thousands of years. The reintroduction of Panchakarma will again provide our guests with transformative detoxification beyond our already robust retreat offerings.”

Each session in the Panchakarma Retreat is carefully designed to restore balance, enhance vitality, and activate the body’s innate healing abilities. Guests will leave not only feeling rejuvenated and renewed but also equipped with a personalized wellness plan that includes a custom diet, post-cleanse guidelines, nourishing recipes, and practical tools to maintain long-term health and well-being in daily life.
