Fourteen nights is the point at which panchakarma stops being a spa week and becomes the thing it is named after: proper purvakarma, a full structured course, and enough days afterwards for the physician to see how you responded. Ninety minutes from Chennai, and a fraction of what the equivalent costs in Europe.
Day by day
Transfer from the airport, settle in, and rest. Nothing is scheduled on the first evening by design.
Full consultation with the physician — pulse, constitution, history. Your programme is written today, not before you arrived.
Preparation starts: internal and external oleation, and the diet shifts.
Preparation continues. Most people feel heavier before they feel lighter; you will be told to expect it.
Swedana added. Daily physician review.
The principal procedures start, chosen at consultation.
Continues. The schedule is deliberately quiet — this is not a sightseeing week.
Mid-programme physician review. The second half is adjusted from what the first half showed.
Continues under review.
The heaviest days are usually behind you by now.
The programme steps down. Diet reintroduces gradually — doing this badly undoes the fortnight.
Rejuvenation therapies, and the first day you are likely to feel the difference.
Continues. Time in the day to simply be somewhere quiet.
Final physician review and a written plan for the weeks after you get home.
