Join Our Special Webinar with European Parkinson Therapy Centre® and Discover How Ayurveda Brings New Possibilities for Parkinson’s Healing

A Story of Resilience: Stephen’s Journey with Ayurveda

Stephen was once trapped in a body that refused to listen. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Parkinson’s, his days were filled with relentless tremors, sleepless nights, and the frustration of watching his own hands betray him. Writing—once second nature—became an impossible task. His muscles remained locked in unrelenting tension, and with each passing day, the symptoms seemed to take deeper root, progressing at an alarming rate.

Desperate for a solution beyond conventional medicine, Stephen found his way to ASHAexperience. This is where his journey took an extraordinary turn. Under the compassionate guidance of Dr. Neela Sheth, an Ayurvedic diagnosis revealed deep-rooted imbalances within his body. His healing began with carefully tailored herbal treatments, gentle therapeutic massages, and a diet designed to restore balance. But true transformation required something deeper.

A personalized Ayurvedic Panchakarma and healing in India was arranged for him—an immersion into the heart of Ayurveda, where time-honoured therapies would bring harmony to both body and mind. Understanding the fragility of his condition, I accompanied him on this journey. It wasn’t just a physical experience; it was emotional, spiritual, and profoundly human.

Within two weeks of treatment, something remarkable happened. His tremors subsided. The morning shakes that once defined his waking hours softened into stillness. His dependence on medication was reduced by 25%. His mind, once clouded by fear and exhaustion, found clarity. He slept through the night, something he hadn’t done in years. And perhaps most beautifully, his healing extended beyond the physical—his relationships with his wife and children flourished, no longer burdened by the invisible weight of his condition.
Stephen’s story is more than an anecdote. It is proof that healing is possible. And this very possibility is what we now bring to the world.

An Invitation to Reimagine Parkinson’s Care
At ASHAexperience, we believe healing must be holistic—transcending medicine to embrace the whole being: mind, body, and spirit.

This is why we are honoured to collaborate with Alex Reed’s organization, The European Parkinson Therapy Centre to host an enlightening webinar on April 11, 2025, in recognition of World Parkinson’s Day.

How can traditional Eastern medical techniques help people with Parkinson’s? This is the question we seek to explore.

Parkinson’s is often seen as an inevitable path of decline. But Ayurveda tells a different story. In this exclusive webinar, we will uncover how this ancient system of medicine approaches Parkinson’s—known in Ayurveda as Kampavata—not as an isolated neurological disorder, but as a condition deeply connected to one’s internal balance.

What You Will Learn?
Led by Dr. Neela Sheth, Ayurvedic Doctor at ASHAexperience based in Switzerland, this session will explore:

  • How Ayurveda identifies the root causes of Parkinson’s through the lens of dosha imbalances and nervous system deterioration
  • The use of natural therapies, herbal medicine, and Panchakarma detoxification to stabilize symptoms
  • The role of daily lifestyle and dietary modifications in improving mobility, cognitive function, and emotional well-being
  • How Ayurveda restores hope—not just in managing symptoms, but in reclaiming a fulfilling life

Why Does This Matter Now?
For too long, Parkinson’s care has been limited to symptomatic treatment. But what if there was a way to slow progression, enhance stability, and empower individuals to take control of their healing journey?

The answer lies in integrative care—where modern research meets the wisdom of Ayurveda. This is why our partnership with Alex Reed and the European Parkinson Therapy Centre is so significant. Like us, Alex’s organization embraces a holistic approach, integrating Medicine, Movement, Lifestyle, and Psychology—a philosophy that aligns seamlessly with Ayurveda’s core principles.

Together, we are forging a new path, one where people no longer have to choose between traditional medicine and alternative healing, but can instead embrace a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.

On April 11, 2025, we invite you to be part of a conversation that could change lives.

10 tips for planning your Ayurveda wellness trip to India

Why Ayurveda Wellness trip to India?

When one thinks of Ayurveda, one cannot avoid thinking of India. India is a treasure chest of natural treatments, medicinal herbs, and food philosophies, all of which believe in the body’s ability to heal itself. Thanks to this ancient science of nurturing with alternative treatment.

The retreat idea focuses around achieving relaxed optimal health, and India is one of the world’s most popular wellness destinations. Whether you want to plan a Panchakarma Ayurvedic treatment or a personalized Ayurvedic therapy, nothing beats planning an Ayurvedic retreat in India for a wellness inspired sabbatical.

What is an Ayurvedic Retreat?

Ayurvedic Retreat is a vacation destination that focuses on an individual’s overall well-being. They focus on providing different therapies, meditation sessions, Yogasana classes, self-introspective knowledge sessions, healing food, and others that rejuvenates you holistically. India pioneered the concept of wellness centres entirely dedicated to yoga and Ayurveda.

10 Reasons to choose India for an Ayurvedic Wellness retreat destination.

1. It is the birthplace of Ayurveda
India is the origin of Ayurveda and home to numerous top-tier NABH accredited (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers is a constituent board of Quality Council of India) Ayurvedic wellness centres. Ayurveda is a system of alternative medicine with historical roots in India. The Indian wellness and Ayurvedic industries are inextricably linked. Ayurveda is well-known throughout the world for its preventive healthcare properties and treatment of a variety of chronic lifestyle disorders. Ayurveda is gaining prominance across the globe as a way of life rather than an alternative area of medicine.
2. Kerala – the destination for Ayurvedic health retreats
Due to the abundance of Ayurveda resorts in Kerala, the ‘God’s Own Country’ attracts visitors from all over for a rejuvenating retreat. Kerala’s abundant medicinal herbs and plants, as well as the best Ayurvedic resorts, make the state a holistic health destination for international visitors.
3. Retreats offers bespoke Ayurvedic health regimen
In an Ayurveda resort, you will be required to follow a routine designed to remove the wear and tear on your mind, body, and soul. The holistic health routine will include waking up in the morning and practising yoga Asanas, unwinding throughout the day with aromatic herbal massages, eating nourishing Ayurvedic Sattvic food, rejuvenating and healing meditation sessions, and so on. There are retreat centres that provide specially tailored routines as well as personal Ayurvedic therapists and Doctors for special medical cases.
4. Retreat locations reflects the vibes of Ayurvedic healing
Ayurvedic and Yoga retreats in India are set in the most beautiful settings. They are nestled in the mighty Himalayas, few with breath-taking views of the beach, and others located in grasslands far from the hustle and clamour of the city. They all provide tranquil surroundings characterised by calmness and peace.
5. Healing together with Ayurveda is fun
While on an Ayurveda journey in India, couples have a lot of viable options as there are especially dedicated suites and activities which can be incorporated into the itinerary for planning a joyful and reposeful getaway for both the partners. What could be more enjoyable than spending days with your loved one, enjoying wellness treatments together?
6. Specially crafted Healing Sessions as per your need and preference
A thorough examination of the eyes, pulse, and tongue will be performed first, followed by a health questionnaire. Following that, an Ayurvedic doctor recommends a treatment plan. They will adjust it based on your personal preferences, the amount of time you will spend at the Ayurveda retreat, and the weather conditions during your stay. Throughout the treatment, you will have daily consultation sessions with doctors and therapists to adjust the treatment and its intensity based on your condition.
7. Wide choice to plan your Ayurveda retreat
During the monsoon season, people typically travel to India for Ayurvedic retreats. The most retreats can be found in Kerala, South India. The monsoon season in this region begins in June and lasts until September. According to Ayurveda this is the optimal time for the body to cleanse itself. Alternatively, start making plans for a trip between December and March. From March to June, it can be extremely hot and humid.
8. Expert Ayurvedic Doctors crafts the tenure of your stay based on your needs
Since Ayurveda is so personal, there is no standard length for an Ayurveda retreat in India. Two weeks is a good time to spend at an Ayurveda retreat for rejuvenation and lifestyle rectifications. However, if one is seeking treatment and assistance for more serious diseases or illnesses then we recommend planning for a longer stay of 3 to 4 weeks, or as advised by your Ayurvedic Doctor based on your needs.
9. Ayurvedic retreats offer the most effective treatment options for all health problems
Almost anything, including lifestyle management, immune management, weight management, sexual health, chronic skin and hair issues, cancer treatments, gastrointestinal issues, depression, diabetes, infertility, and chronic pain, women gynaecological and hormonal health issues to name a few.
10. Authentic Panchakarma treatment is the integral part every healing program
While your Ayurvedic treatment will be determined by your health needs. However, Panchakarma will be involved. It’s a five-step process for total mind-body rejuvenation. Herbal oil massages, steam baths, cleansing enemas, a healing plant-based diet, and other purifying treatments are included. Panchakarma is effective at removing toxins from the body, rebalancing the Doshas, and healing a variety of ailments and promotes clarity and inner peace.

5 reasons to go for Panchakarma Treatment in India

5 reasons to go for Panchakarma Treatment in India

Ayurveda and spirituality in search of mind-body balance.


The idea of this journey of spirituality and well-being was born to offer you a path that, in addition to being exciting and interesting from the point of view of the places you will visit, will also be a wonderful opportunity to rediscover your physical and inner well-being.

Panchakarma – if you are interested in Ayurveda, sooner or later, you will come across this term because, in Ayurvedic medicine, the Panchakarma cure plays a fundamental role. There are several references to Panchakarma in the earliest ancient Ayurvedic writings. Panchakarma, being a living tradition, is frequently used in Kerala’s Ayurvedic practice. It aims to prevent or cure diseases through the elimination of toxins and tissue strengthening in order to restore
physical and emotional balance.

Do you know why a child is put in time-out or in the corner of thought after making a mess or being naughty?

Because it is in silence, isolation, and solitude that the little brat manages to reflect on his actions, in a sudden moment between crying and suffering, he calms down, listens to his conscience, apologizes, and naturally becomes a better person.

However, as we get older and there are no more nannies or parents to help us in this growing process, we simply forget about this act of love that is “doing nothing.” Furthermore, if we are part of Western culture, “not having time” is usually spoken with pride. There are so many activities involving home, family, work, and leisure that we have unlearned to contemplate time without any distraction.

Relearning how to do nothing is: contemplating the sunset without photographing, seeing drawings in the clouds, noticing the path of the ants, closing your eyes, and feeling for a few minutes the breeze on your face, until in the silence of the mind, the whispers of conscience manifest.

5 Reasons to go for Panchakarma Treatment in India

As the world struggles with the coronavirus pandemic, more and more people are discussing the need to improve immunity to fight this virus. There are various Ayurvedic means to improve immunity. Panchakarma is a very important Ayurvedic process to do that. This 5000-year-old healing treatment not only boosts immunity but it also has the power to prevent diseases. It revitalizes both the body and the mind.

 

  1. Helps in Building Immunity
  2. Eliminates Toxins
  3. Improves Metabolism and Helps in Weight Loss
  4. Prevents Diseases
  5. Opens Up the Mind

1. Helps in Building Immunity

An imbalanced diet, less sleep, stress, chronic medication and dehydration affect immunity. Ayurveda believes that one should achieve three things to gain immunity. One is Bala that is the ability of the system to repair itself, Vyadhi Kshamata, the ability to fight against diseases and Ojas is the stage when the correct balance is achieved between immunity and digestion. The process of Panchakarma helps in attaining all these three things. At the end of the treatment, you have much better immunity.

2. Eliminates Toxins

The five actions of Panchakarma flush out all the toxins Ama from the body, leaving it totally rejuvenated.

The detoxification process targets the lungs, blood vessels, digestive system, bowels, and nervous system. It makes muscles and joints stronger and balances the hormone in the body. Going for this Ayurvedic treatment once every five years won’t allow the toxins to accumulate.

3. Improves Metabolism and Helps in Weight Loss

Most of our health concerns start with issues in metabolism. As the metabolic rate slows down, we tend to gain weight. Also, because of impaired metabolism, there are issues in bowel movements and hence the accumulation of toxins in the body.

The Panchakarma treatment completely boosts your metabolism after taking out all the toxins from the body. If you can follow the prescribed lifestyle after the treatment, it would lead to weight loss. You will experience an overall sense of well-being.

4. Prevents Diseases

We usually go for treatments when we have an illness, but Panchakarma treatment can prevent chronic diseases.

People go for the treatment to deal with diseases like chronic skin rashes, allergies, Paraplegia, or Hemiplegia. It can help prevent obesity, digestive and skin disorders, nerve diseases, and psychiatric illnesses. Diabetes and insomnia can also be prevented with this treatment.

It slows down aging and prevents neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Panchakarma prevents bone-degenerative diseases and gynecological issues.

5. Opens Up the Mind

Ayurveda practitioners say emotional issues can lead to diseases. While going through the intense treatment of Panchakarma, people attain mental peace and lucidity. It allows them to let go of the emotional baggage that torments them. Many people say that midway through the treatment; they feel a sense of awakening that helps them to move on. They feel a renewed level of concentration and happiness.

Finally,

In the home country of Ayurveda, India, authentic Panchakarma cures await you in traditional Ayurvedic befitting resorts. Enjoy a dream location in a resort on the beach, surrounded by exotic palm trees, in the mountains, or in the middle of huge tea plantations. Plus, the staff’s warm hospitality at hotels and resorts will make your stay unforgettable. Panchakarma is a great way to stay healthy and happy. You should try this age-old Ayurvedic treatment for a complete overhaul of your body and mind. However, before going for the same you should get into an initial consultation with the Ayurvedic Doctor to know what kind of body you have and which type of Panchakarma is suitable for you.
