PK is considered the "soul" of ayurveda because it so powerfully cleanses the body and revitalizes the inner balance that is essential for good health.
Due to this holistic approach, PK addresses all diverse symptoms by treating the underlying cause at its source, and restores the body's natural capacity to heal itself and resist future diseases.
"The whole of panchakarma is scientifically designed to reawaken the layers of memory [of wholeness and health] that are stored deep within and to clear out the memory of disease and ageing.
Excess of vata [movement and change in the body] makes one old and brings aging. That's why it is so important to clear out vata through PK. If you have some disease or disorder, you have to make the 'memory' the way it was before the illness—not just remember or taste it just once, but really know it and feel it—then you can reverse the disease or even get rid of it that very moment." Dr. J.R. Raju
New perception of mind and health:
"My friend reports that panchakarma here is very effective and strong and after the days of treatments you perceive your health in a very different way. It is the same for me. Every day you regain a piece of your health and this means more open awareness, more open mind and intellect; the senses became more bright and you start to remember (smriti) what you really are.Thank you very much to this great family who from so many generations are preserving the purity of this deep knowledge." Raju PK Guests ~ Italy
In ancient India, panchakarma was widely practiced in society. Entire communities would perform group PK, sharing their collective skills, as a preventative health measure. It was for this reason that they enjoyed such high levels of health. In today's world, much of this ancient knowledge has been lost to common knowledge, and the environment we live in—the air we breath, food and water we consume—is much less pure.
Given the level of stress in modern lifestyles and the amount of toxins in the environment, the Raju Panchakarma Center encourages everyone to come for panchakarma on a regular basis (annually is ideal), to purify and re-balance the physiology before health problems arise. No matter how cautious we are, stress and toxins get absorbed and accumulate in the body over time. This is especially true after the age of 40 when the body has a noticeable decrease in its ability to eliminate toxins—PREVENTION IS THE EASIEST WAY.
5 major treatment approaches in ayurveda this is the fastest way to restore smriti in the physiology, because it so effectively clears the body of stress and toxins that cover or hide the underlying natural state of good health. "It all depends on memory. If one PK [panchakarma] enlivens the memory then that is enough, But...always you want MORE [more memory, more happiness, more health]. PK makes us younger...forces us to want more.
The habit [in life] is to pull the negative things to us, so slowly the negative things come back after PK." Dr. J.R. Raju.
Because of this tendency, it is very important to keep "coming back to ourselves" ~ to keep enlivening our smriti through daily meditation, regular panchakarma, rasayana therapies (healing herbs, balanced diet and routine), and more.
The Raju Family highly recommends the practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) Program and advanced TM Techniques, as taught by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to unfold the inner smriti (memory of wholeness and Self), and release stress. If you are not already practicing these wonderful

Tranquilo Health Center offers 23, 28, 30, and 42-day treatment packages, or longer if needed. If your circumstances require a shorter PK that is also available, though not as ideal. The shortest generally recommended treatment period is 23 days because it leaves enough time for three, 7-day cycles that build on each other in sequence. Initial treatments first loosen the impurities, while later treatments gently remove them through the body's own purificatory channels.

Proven formula for success
-
The ayurvedic texts say that the results of panchakarma will primarily depend on four important factors: the ability of the Vaidya, availability and strength of the herbs required, the skills of the staff, and the cooperation of the patient—All are under the control of the Vaidya (physician).
"The qualities of the physician, and similarly qualities of the herbs, staff, patient, all are under the control of the physician. Patient is completely trusting, and not, for example, 'I'm giving this herb in early morning, but so bitter, don't want to take it!' The patient must be completely under the control of the physician. Until then the treatment cannot be complete, if the patient is not surrendered to the physician and remembering everything to do, and the sattwa (positivity)—fully believing 'I can be better.'
"The modern medicine trains us that things cannot be cured and with the time-frame (e.g. it will take a long time) all these things are chasing you. It is not like in ayurveda when you are already better from the first moment with the vaidya. Already, when I felt your pulse, you feel light...tiredness is less in the eyes. That is the thing: sattwa. If there is no sattwa (positivity) then it is very difficult.
You have to feel the positive things—HAVE TO TRUST THE VAIDYA COMPLETELY.” Dr. J.R. Raju
There are many clinics in India offering panchakarma treatments, all varying in quality and effectiveness.The Raju family comes from a long line of distinguished vaidyas, and prepares in-house almost all the herbal products used in the treatments, strictly following the ancient proven formulas received from their forefathers. We suggest you evaluate a Raju Intensive PK on its results, which have to be experienced to be believed.
Specialized Therapies
The ancient healing arts of ayurveda have been passed down from generation to generation of vaidyas in the Raju family ~ Even knowledge that was lost over the centuries is being revived now by the current generation of Raju vaidyas. This heritage of healing is the foundation for success at the Raju Panchakarma Center because it provides the power to enliven the physiology and its energies from deep within.
"Even so, one lifetime is not enough to learn the ayurvedic knowledge [it is so vast]. So because of that it is better to be careful of who is mixing up [the remedies]. Everything is already mentioned in ayurveda: naturopathy, allopathy, etc. There are so many details." Dr. J.R. Raju.
Vedic wisdom teaches that there are special vital energies which come from the sun's rays onto the planet and into the plants and also our bodies.
Ayurveda mobilizes these energies through subtle technologies that clear the channels and focus this power where it is needed most for healing. "It is said that there are uncountable rays from the sun and all the rays are divided with the different names—1000 rays divided into categories. One ray is rohita "bringing up from the earth," like the water we give to the sun, climbing up. There are 100 rays like that which are continuously working to bring the rains around the world. And another 100 rays to form the clouds and different things like that, and for the food and the protection. And in the same way there are 100 rays working on this green energy for the plants. ALL they are working in our brain also. But we are not able to utilize them properly. Because of that, the vedic sounds [primordial sounds], and different things, are most important...to enliven these rays in our physiology." Dr. J.R. Raju
The following specialized therapies are unique in the world today ~ available only through the care and safe-keeping of the Raju family vaidyas.
These therapies are powerful for healing because they resonate, re-set, and balance the physiology at the deepest levels of mind-body functioning. Once "reminded" in this way of its own proper functioning, the body's ability to throw off stress and heal increases exponentially.
The clinical and personal history of healing successes through these treatments is so extensive as to be irrefutable.
