House of Sanjevani’s specialty is the renowned Ayurvedic detoxification program known as Panchakarma. This ancient traditional process from India aims to eliminate accumulated toxins (ama) to pave the way for rejuvenation and healing. By undergoing Panchakarma, the body can only experience true healing once the toxins are effectively removed. The program includes a series of therapeutic massages and treatments using pure organic sesame or coconut oils, medicinal herbs, and daily basti (oil and herb enema). Additionally, participants receive dietary recommendations with Ayurvedic-based food, engage in yoga, pranayama, meditation, and attend educational classes daily. This dedicated time allows for quiet relaxation and meditation, enabling the body to carry out its cleansing work effectively. It is recommended to undergo Panchakarma at the change of each season.

Panchakarma at House of Sanjevani incorporates an Integrative Medicine consultation with Maureen Sutton, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Dr. Sunil Pai, MD, who specialize in Ayurveda and Panchakarma. A personalized treatment plan is formulated based on your unique constitution. Only organic oils and herbs are used, specifically formulated for various medical conditions. The program takes an “Integrative” approach, where custom-formulated nutritional supplements, homeopathics, and other modalities like energy medicine (Reiki, marma therapy), sound healing, and specialized medical aromatherapy may be recommended. Our experience has shown that combining multiple modalities leads to the best results, surpassing the outcomes of using a single modality alone. The program is delivered in a spa-like environment, and importantly, the bastis (enemas) are administered directly onsite rather than given for self-administration at home.

The duration of Panchakarma can be tailored to your needs and availability, ranging from 1, 3, 5, or 7 days based on your specific condition.

For those who have passed the age of forty or have been chronically ill and depleted of energy, Panchakarma may not be the treatment for you. According to the traditional teachings of Ayurveda, Ayurvedic teachers and my own clinical experience, Kaya Kalpa may be a better option for your transformation back to health. Both Panchakarma and Kaya Kalpa use a series of Ayurvedic massages and treatments as well as rejuvenating herbs and lifestyle changes for transformation of your health and anti-aging. Call (505) 821-6300 and ask to speak to Sanjevani’s Doctor of Ayurveda, Maureen Sutton, AyuD to discuss what would be best for you.

Kaya Kalpa

What is Kaya Kalpa?
Kaya = body and Kalpa = transformation, is the process of harnessing, restoring and re-energizing the essential essence of life. The essential essence of life is called ojas in the language of Ayurveda. It is your vital energy or vitality that controls your immunity, strength and happiness. According to Ayurveda, we are born with eight precious drops of ojas in our hearts. Disease and poor lifestyle can cause us to lose those precious drops. It is up to us to live a healthy life in body, mind and spirit to protect and renew our ojas. A Doctor of Ayurveda can help to guide you with this process.

At the core of Kaya Kalpa is Rasayana Vaidya, the ancient science of Alchemy. It is used to help restore our ojas and intrinsic vitality.
Rasayana (rasa = essential essence of life and yana = the source or origin) is the both the process and tools used for rejuvenation in Kaya Kalpa. Vaidya = Ayurvedic doctor or medicine.

Kaya Kalpa has two main objectives:
Restoring the body back to normal levels of health.
Addressing the effects of inflammation, performing detoxification and restoring vitality.

What is the Function of Kaya Kalpa?
Kaya Kalpa has five main functions:

Rasa sanchara – to balance the flow of rasa (the essential essence, plasma and bodily secretions) back to their healthy flow, including healthy absorption, secretion and elimination.
Rasa sanchaya – to restore and conserve the essential essence of life, so it is available to call upon when needed.
Rasa rakshana – to protect the rasa from physical, psychological and environmental circumstances (climate, food, water).
Rasa poshana – to strengthen, nourish and revive the essential essence of life.
Rasa dharma – to retain the essential essence of life throughout one’s lifetime.

How does one lose the essential essence of life?
There are many causes in modern life that contribute to the loss of the essential essence of life including some of the following:
Poor diet, nutritionally deplete due to consuming processed food and drink.
Consuming polluted food, water and air.
Losing one’s way by living outside the harmony of nature.
Living in an unhealthy environment at home and work.
Not living in rhythm with one’s internal clock (circadian rhythms or dinacharya).
Indiscriminate use of drugs, alcohol and the senses.
Overstressed organs and nervous system.

Five targeted outcomes of Kaya Kalpa treatments:
Relieving the burden of the organs that support detoxification: liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and skin.
Strengthening the heart, liver and lungs.
Regulating and restoring the digestive system.
Revitalizing the brain and nervous system.
Managing stress by awakening the innate intelligence of the breath (pranayama).

Many common wellness issues, such as low energy, poor sleep, and reduced performance, can be attributed to inadequate blood flow. Whether due to intense workouts, previous injuries, or sedentary lifestyles, impaired blood circulation hampers the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.

At House of Sanjevani, we utilize both KLOUD (PEMA) and BEMER (PEMF) wellness technologies to enhance local blood flow and improve athletic performance, recovery, and overall well-being.

As pioneers in integrative medicine, we introduced Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to New Mexico in 2015. Dr. Sunil Pai, with extensive clinical experience and expertise, has utilized these wellness technologies to benefit hundreds of patients at Sanjevani and worldwide. He has also served on scientific advisory boards for companies developing physical vascular technologies. Dr. Sunil Pai’s groundbreaking research on using this technology to treat Peripheral Neuropathy has been published in Rakel’s Integrative Medicine Textbook.

In just a 15-minute session, both KLOUD (PEMA) and BEMER (PEMF) stimulate electrical activity in your muscle cells, providing lasting benefits for 12 to 24 hours. These therapeutic signals penetrate deep into your muscles, offering benefits comparable to exercise, sports massages, saunas, cryotherapy, and more. We highly recommend using these technologies before our Float Tank Sessions, massages, and Cryo T-Shock treatments.

Benefits include:

– Nutrient and Oxygen Delivery
– Muscular Strength
– Endurance and Energy
– Vitality and Well-Being
– Stress Reduction and Relaxation
– Local Blood Flow
– Waste Removal
– Performance Enhancement
– Physical Fitness
– Enhanced Recovery

It’s important to note that while many Doctors of Oriental Medicine (DOM) and Licensed Acupuncturists (L.Ac) in the United States may place needles on the scalp, they are often not trained in Scalp or Neuro-Acupuncture.

Most people with inhalant allergies use over-the-counter remedies or natural therapies for temporary relief, but these don’t address the cause. Allergy shots are an option, but they are inconvenient and may not be suitable for everyone.

Allergy Drops Therapy™ is a novel program for inhalant and food allergies. It includes an integrative medicine consultation with Dr. Sunil Pai, MD, and a customized treatment plan based on accurate blood tests. Allergy drops, administered under the tongue three times a day, gradually build tolerance to allergens, providing safe and effective relief.

Allergy Testing is done through RAST IgE and IgG4 blood tests, which offer a more sensitive and specific analysis of allergens compared to skin prick testing. A specific panel of common allergens is available, but customization is possible.

SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) is a simple acupuncture technique for desensitizing allergies. Small needles are placed on specific points in the ear, offering excellent outcomes for allergy sufferers.

SAAT treatment is quick and affordable, with 90% of patients responding favorably.
