Post Graduate Diploma in Panchakarma
Post Graduate Diploma in Panchakarma provides a convenient and accessible pathway to gain in-depth knowledge about various aspects of the traditional Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation therapies known as Panchakarma. The program has been designed to encompass the complete spectrum of Panchakarma treatments, from preparatory stages to specialized therapies, ensuring a thorough understanding of this ancient healing practice.
I had the privilege of completing the Postgraduate Diploma in Panchakarma at the University of Colombo. This one-year program has been an immensely valuable journey, both academically and professionally. The course provided me with deep theoretical knowledge and, most importantly, extensive practical training in Panchakarma procedures. I was able to enhance my clinical skills and gain confidence in applying authentic Panchakarma therapies effectively for patients.
One of the most enriching aspects of the program was the exposure and hands-on experience in India, where we observed and practiced Panchakarma under experienced Vaidyas. This broadened my perspective, deepened my understanding, and allowed me to witness the traditional practices in their original setting. Overall, this diploma has significantly improved my skills, confidence, and professional growth as an Ayurvedic practitioner.
I am grateful to the dedicated lecturers, clinical supervisors, and the university for providing such a well-structured program. I strongly recommend this course to any Ayurveda graduate who wishes to specialize in Panchakarma with both local and international exposure.
