The next two days are dedicated to gentle detoxification through Abhyanga (full-body massage), Shirodhara (oil therapy), and Swedana (herbal steam therapy). Engage in slow-paced yoga and meditation sessions by the beach, allowing your body to adjust to the tropical climate while relieving jet lag. Enjoy freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals customized to balance your dosha and aid in digestion. A guided herbal workshop will introduce you to traditional Sri Lankan remedies, and a sunset meditation by the ocean will help deepen your relaxation.

Later, take a mindful visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of Sri Lanka’s most revered Buddhist sites, where you can participate in a temple blessing ceremony. In the evening, enjoy a candlelit meditation session by the serene Kandy Lake.

These days will focus on Panchakarma therapy, a personalized detox program that includes mild herbal medicine, guided breathing techniques, and treatments such as Nasya (nasal cleansing).
