Long Covid Treatment
Our 12-day Long Covid Retreat Recovery Programme goes beyond a traditional medical experience. Not merely addressing physical symptoms, we aim to provide you with emotional support and introduce long-term lifestyle changes.
Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic practices, the main focus of the treatment is Panchakarma, which means ‘five actions’ or ‘five treatments’. It is a system that is used to balance Tridosha and rid the body of toxins. Normally, the body can efficiently process and remove these waste materials, including the vitiated doshas. However, poor lifestyle and dietary habits can compromise our detoxification capacities, which can lead to the accumulation and spread of toxins (This is called “Ama”). The radical elimination that takes place during Panchakarma works as an effective method of treating Long Covid, by releasing toxins, treating micro-clotting, reducing inflammation on both micro and macro levels, and acting as a trigger for the autonomic nervous system to reset.
By the end of this personalised 12-day programme set in idyllic surroundings, your mind and body will feel balanced and restored.

Long Covid 12-day Recovery Programme
Day 1-3: Preparatory Procedure (Purva Karma)
When guests arrive at the Sanctuary, they will undergo an in-depth consultation with our resident Ayurvedic doctor. The first stage, Purvakarma, is the preparatory process with treatments such as herbal massage, herbal fermentation and herbal steam, targeting areas including the neck, shoulder and abdomen. This combination of treatments encourages drainage and toxin release from the digestive system, specifically the liver, gallbladder and intestinal tissues.
Day 4-7: Operative Procedure (Pradana Karma)
During these days you will be guided through Pradhan Karma:
- Vasthi (herbalised enema): herbal oils or medicines are suspended through the rectum to cleanse the intestinal tract.
- Nasya (nasal irrigation): medicinal oils are administered through the nostrils to clear the sinuses and drain excess mucus.
- Virechana (purgation therapy): herbal medicines with gentle laxative effects are ingested to induce bowel movements and eliminate toxic and metabolic waste from the liver, gallbladder and intestinal tract.
Day 8-10: Post-Operative Procedure (Pashchath Karma)
The final stage of Panchakarma is focused on rehabilitation and rest. During this time you will rest and allow your body to enter a new state of health. Diet, rest, rejuvenation therapy and lifestyle modifications are prescribed to prevent the recurrence of Covid.
Day 10-12: Reflective Process
The final days of your journey will be for reflection. During this time we focus on emotional and mental wellbeing, including lifestyle changes and reflecting on a much deeper understanding of the Covid experience.
The programme is designed to not only address physical symptoms but also dive into emotional symptoms and offer the necessary support and tools to continue on a new path of well-being.
