As a yoga retreat organiser based in India for many years, I’ve had
frequent opportunities to experience the ‘authentic ayurveda’;
queuing with the locals to see the village doctor, taking parttime
treatments on the tourist trail and even working in a 100-bed
ayurveda charity hospital. However, the chance to go deeply into
the full experience of Panchakarma - the classic ayurvedic detox -
has eluded me, until now.
