Kayakalpa Sessions
Your Consultation
Treatment begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your unique health situation, and to perform a comprehensive Constitution Analysis.
Following your assessment, your therapies will begin, each tailored to your individual needs and health goals.
Netra, Nasya & Karna Kalpa: Eye, Nose & Ear Therapies
We administer specially-prepared medicated oils to the nose, eyes and ears.
The nose considered the gateway to the brain and nervous system. In the Siddha chakra system, the nose is considered the first chakra, as it is the origin of vital life force. Nasya or nasal therapy purifies and nurture the mind and senses, heightens the sense of smell, improves complexion, memory and cognition.
In Karna Puran or Ear Therapy, the ears are filled with herbal-mineral oils which lubricate the delicate filaments of the ear canal, dislodging impurities and sharpening hearing.
Alepa: Full Body-Masque Application
Alepa is an herbo-mineral paste applied to the entire body, allowed to dry slightly and then removed to exfoliate the dead cells, unclog pores, enhance circulation and complexion.
We prepare a fine powder of over 60 different herbs, chosen specifically for your constitution. This creates the base of the body masque that we apply first to your back and then to the rest of your body. The combination of herbal masque works to draw out toxins from the largest organ in your body, your skin.
Dr. Pandeya recognizes the skin as a very vital and dynamic organ. He contends that not only physical toxins are released but also emotional ones.
Sneha: Cleansing & Nourishing the skin with oil
Once your pores have been opened by the exfoliating Alepa they ready to drink-in our therapeutic oil- hand made with over 60 different herbs and customized to your individual needs.
A vigorous therapeutic oil application furthers the total-body detoxification process by lubricating the pores so they can release inner toxins as well as stimulating Marma points and encouraging lymphatic drainage.
Swedena: Herbal Steam Bath
Oiling of the body is followed by Swedena, an aromatic herbal steam bath, to further clear impurities from the skin while allowing the topical oils to penetrate deeper. The relaxing, purifying steam experience causes deeply entrenched internal toxins to loosen and collect in the digestive tract.
Basti: Herbal Enema
Once the leftover toxins in your body have been driven into the GI tract, a custom blended Basti, or enema is used to purify your digestive tract, pacify symptoms and vitalize the tract as needed. The purpose is to eliminate much of the accumulated plaque from the gastrointestinal tract, thus ridding the body of metabolic toxins which can cause mental and physical discomforts.
Kayakalpa uses 108 different enema formulations divided into three categories. Purifying, Pacifying and Vitalizing.
Dhara: Herbal Hydrotherapy
The session culminates with a unique hydrotherapy, designed to simulate the weightlessness of the embryonic state.
Here, herbal extracts, milk, buttermilk and oil based infusions are gently poured on your forehead, as you are guided in specific breathing techniques designed to stimulate the psycho-neuro-endocrine and immune systems. This ritual pouring of herbs onto your third eye, often brings people to “peak experiences” while releasing deeply held emotions.
As natural vital force increases, your dormant energy is awakened becoming a powerful catalyst for transformation. This is sometimes referred to as a Kundalini awakening.
Therapeutic Meal & Diet Plan
After each therapy session, we serve you a delicious home-cooked meal, prepared with love and specifically made for your constitution.
These meals are a taste of your diet plan. We will give you a set of guidelines and recipes to help you eat a diet that is sympathetic to your constitution and promotes balance.
Herbal and Mineral Supplements
After your session, you will also receive a set of herbal supplements to support your ongoing purification and nourishment at home. These herbo-mineral supplements are formulated by us from ancient Indian recipes and manufactured by our partners in India. Unless we tell you otherwise, all supplements can be taken in conjunction with any other prescriptions or supplements, although many of our clients find that they are able to discontinue using prescriptions after following the Kayakalpa protocol.
The Kayakalpa experience is dynamic, unique, purifying— and ultimately, wonderfully revitalizing. A series of sessions is generally recommended, as the results are cumulative and most beneficial when done within a prescribed timeframe.
Dr. Pandeya will discuss the program with you, taking into consideration your imbalance and what you, as an individual, hope to derive from the sessions.
