PROGRAM 1
THE 7- DAY PROGRAM is geared towards revitalising an individual.

Extendable to.. The 14 day program which is a more intensive course wherein the oil therapy pervades beyond the 14 layers of the skin, right down to the bone marrow. This results in an alleviation of joint pain, spondilitis and insomnia. It also gives the physician an opportunity to confirm the validity of his treatment. And/or provide him an avenue to change the course of the treatment if necessary. It also gives the patient the additional time to learn some of the more advanced asanas like

Kateechakrasana Anjaneyasana Vrukshasana

Gomukhasana Salabhasana Dhanurasana

PROGRAM TWO THE 21 - DAY PROGRAM is even more encompassing in that the oil begins to penetrate right into the body to benefit the internal organs. And operates as a detoxification process. Wherein week one is the observation period of consultations, diagnosis and prescriptions. Of determining internal medication, diets and external treatments. Of Abhyanga, yoga, meditation and consultation with our in-house astrologer. Week two is more intensive. It's when the actual treatment begins. The commencement of Dhara and Pizhichil, amongst others (on a predetermined auspicious day). Also during this week total mental/physical rest and a strict diet is advised. Week three is the post-treatment period. When the patient is actually weaned off the intense treatment. But the rest and diet continues. Preferably with the patient internalizing these principles for life.

Extendable to... The 35 - day program which is the ideal therapeutic package. For according to Ayurveda, it takes 28 days to convert food into its final essence (Ojas). So over 35 days, one is ensured of complete detoxification. This treatment package follows the same procedure for the first three weeks. Followed by the essential period of complete rest and internalisation during weeks four and five.

DHARA
Is a treatment whereby the patient is made to lie on a special wooden bed (a droni), after which the medicated oil/ milk/ buttermilk etc are poured in a prescribed, continuous stream on his head by the therapist who is assisted by two other therapists who help him with the oil application. For the oil application on the head, a wide mouthed earthen vessel with a hole at the bottom is hung about 2 inches from the patient's forehead. A thread hangs forth from the hole along which the oil flows. The prescribed liquid is then poured into the vessel and on the upper forehead in a steamy stream. The liquid drippings are collected and the oil is poured back into the vessel. After which the patient is given a warm bath or sometimes none at all (with the patient simply being toweled off). The treatment continues depending on the severity of each case.

PIZHICHIL
Is a specialized treatment meaning the squeezing of a cloth soaked in oil over the body. During this treatment the patient is made to sit on the droni and the medicated oils are then administered over the head and body. By 4 therapists (2 on either side of the patient-i.e. if the Dhara treatment is also undertaken simultaneously) .A cloth is tied over the patient's forehead, to prevent oil from getting into the eyes. The warm, medicated oil is then poured in a continually flowing single stream, by squeezing a clean cloth dipped in oil over the body. The treatment starts and ends with the patient in a sitting position. In the duration in-between, the patient is made to lie flat. Like the Dhara, the duration and bathing process vary with every patient. The Pizhichil oil therapy helps alleviate skeletal and muscular disease, rheumatoid arthritis etc.
