I was fortunate to have a month of panchakarma treatments at Mitra Hermitage in February of 2010. I consider it one of the most special times of my life. The loving care of the doctors and staff and the wondeful treatments given in a rural setting allowed for profound rejuvenation and time of retreat. The ayurvedic treatments are such a gift in that they are gentle, nurturing, and deeply healing for the body, mind and spirit. As the days rolled along as gently as the river flows past Mitra, I felt myself deeply relax, let go of all of the stress in my life and feel the calmness of my own natural intelligence in a renewed way. I would love to go again and highly recommend Mitra to anyone considering panchakarma treatments.
