What is Panchakarma (as featured in the Kardashians)

You Can Do THIS without being as rich as the Kardashians!

Whether you follow the Kardashians or not, they are impossible to miss! I don’t personally watch their show or follow them, but I do love traditional practices that help people heal and feel amazing.

Last week, a friend mentioned that Ayurveda was front and center in one of the Kardashian episodes and specifically a treatment call Panchakarma. I must admit I got curious, checked out the portions of the show and the reference to this ancient practice.

Personally, I LOVE pachakarmas and believe that we all can learn about its principles and practices and perhaps even try some ways to do your own ‘mild’ version of a cleanse at home.

So today, I’m sharing how you can do your own little Western version of panchakarma without breaking the bank!

Follow These Steps!

PRE-CLEANSE (2-3 days)

  • No caffeine, alcohol or sugar
  • No heavy workouts of sex
  • Get a book to learn the basics – “Ayurveda Beginner’s Guide” is a good option
  • Learn to make Kitchari follow this recipe

CLEANSE (4 to 7 days)

  • 100% plant based, whole foods for the entire cleanse
  • Options are small smoothie, soups, salads and kitchari
  • Can use ghee or mushrooms if vegan
  • Try Abyangha – oil massage – once a week
  • Bouncing / Rebouding
  • Use heat – saunas/steam rooms
  • Massage your feet with Sesame and ginger essential oils
