The Five Pillars of Panchakarma – Reimagined for Today
Panchakarma means “Five Actions,” and they are:
• Vamana – Therapeutic emesis to release deeply seated toxins from the stomach and lungs
• Virechana – Gentle purgation to cleanse the liver, gallbladder, and intestines
• Basti – Herbal enema therapy for total colon rejuvenation and Vata balancing
• Nasya – Nasal administration to clear the mind and enhance clarity and respiration
• Raktamokshana – Blood detoxification to purify and revitalise the circulatory system
These therapies are prescribed based on your doshic imbalance—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha—and your current health condition. No two programs are ever the same.

🐄 Gentle Guardians of the Campus
In Ayurveda and Indian culture, the cow is honoured as a symbol of nourishment, calm, and abundance—a living reminder of ahimsa (non-violence) and sattva (purity). Their presence soothes the mind, and their gifts sustain life: milk becomes ghee for our kitchens and therapies, and their compost enriches the very gardens that feed our guests.
Here are Anita Krishna (left) and Srividya Krishna (right) spending time with our graceful companions—always full of character and charm. What names would you give these beauties? 💛
🌱 Fruit Trees at IVAC
We planted another fruit tree in our gardens—fed with the specialised organic fertiliser we import for all our produce at IVAC. Healthy soil, happy roots, nourishing food… it all starts here. Grateful to our green-thumbed team for tending to every sapling with such care.
What fruit should we plant next? 🍊🥭🍋
At Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre, every detail of your healing journey is rooted in tradition and science. Our signature copper bath infused with rose petals is more than just a luxury — it’s therapy for body and mind.
🌸 Why Copper?
For centuries, Ayurveda has celebrated copper for its natural antimicrobial properties and its ability to balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Soaking in a copper bath helps:
• Detoxify the skin and body
• Improve circulation and vitality
• Promote relaxation and inner balance
🌹 Rose Petals add a cooling, calming effect, easing stress, uplifting mood, and leaving the skin radiant.
✨ This is not just a bath — it’s a ritual of wellness, balance, and rejuvenation that reconnects you with nature.

It all began six decades ago, I decided to be a doctor when I was in my second grade.
My mother used to be very sick and was many times in the death bed. Nearest doctor was 12 miles away. There were no roads or phones. We had to send someone by foot who could reach the doctor as fast as possible and bring him by foot, the only possible way to travel at the time. Monsoon rains and thunder would be in full swing. Walking through the tropical forest with leeches sucking blood, carrying medicines in the pouring rain was not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. The doctor would arrive, treat my mother and save her. He was a wonderful person smiling and assuring me that my mother wouldnt die. I was sitting next to my mom and crying, worried she may die any moment. With my tender heart I would beg my mother not to die and I would be a doctor when I grow up and take care of her and there would be no need to wait so long for a doctor. I would tell the doctor that I wanted to be like him, a doctor. He would smile and say “sure you can”. This was the beginning.
I met my spiritual Master and mentor when I was 13 yrs old. I was intensely absorbed by his personality at all levels. I got my first introduction to the profound philosophy of the Vedas and especially Ayurveda during my one year stay with him at his home when I was sixteen. Guided by and through his blessings I became an allopathic doctor. One day during the time I was with him he told me “Ayurveda has suffered eight centuries of decline. It needs to be brought to the forefront of the modern medicine. It requires lots of planning to catch up with the lost years. You have a mission to accomplish this”. I asked how I could do this when I was being advised to do study modern medicine (Allopathy). He said it is important that I study Allopathy and whatever knowledge needed for me in Ayurveda would come to me when needed.
Nearly 3 decades passed by since that moment. I had graduated from the medical School and later did my post graduation in Anaesthesia and the journey took me from India to UK, Canada and the USA.
In 1992 I came down with some physical illness for which I could not find any relief in the modern medicine. However I could find much relief in Ayurveda and Yoga. This period became the turning point of my life and the process of conceiving what IVAC is today began. A team of Ayurvedic Vaidyas was put together and we started planning as to how to train therapists, doctors, plan the buildings, run the business and more.
We conceived a vision of bringing Ayurveda to the forefront of the modern medicine. Lots of thought had to go in to materialize the vision. I created a vision tree as follows;
After five years of careful planning IVAC officially started its business in September 1999. Since then the vision has been moving forward in a methodical way and we have won several awards and received ISO certification. IVAC has very good reputation both in India and abroad. People from over 55 countries come to our place. Now IVAC is a small prototype for the big vision.
IVAC’s mission is to plan and move in the direction of the vision. Living with a vision itself has been spiritual. Whether one accomplishes that in this life or in many lives to come is not important.
