Contraindications

There are certain medical conditions for which PK is contraindicated (not advised).

Upon your arrival, if we determine that you have a contraindicated condition—one that no one was aware of, or that has recently developed, such as pregnancy—it may be necessary to suspend Panchakarma treatment until such time as we feel Panchakarma is indicated, if at all during your visit.

Alternative treatments may be indicated.

These will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Ayurvedic Consultant. 

Our Ayurvedic Retreat Centre is not a medical facility. Panchakarma clients are expected to be healthy enough to be able to take care of their own basic needs.

If this could be an issue for you, please inform us and we can discuss possible options.
