7 | 14 | 21 Nights

A Regenerative Approach to Digestive Health & Gut–Brain Wellbeing

A personalised 7, 14 or 21-night journey designed to support digestive wellbeing, more consistent routines, energy and a more informed understanding of gut health.

Our regenerative philosophy

Digestive wellbeing is influenced by interconnected factors such as digestive function, food choices, stress, sleep, movement, bowel habits and metabolic health. Symptoms can have different causes, so individual assessment matters.

The programme combines doctor-led guidance, traditional Ayurvedic and naturopathic practices, personalised nutrition, movement, restorative therapies and mindful living to support digestive wellbeing as part of whole-person health.

Restore. Rebalance. Regenerate.

Gut balance is not only about food choices. The journey considers digestion, daily rhythms, stress and lifestyle together to support sustainable wellbeing.

    Programme-specific duration and clinical sequence

    7, 14 or 21 Nights — duration is not a pricing tier, it is a clinical decision. Each length unlocks a stage of the protocol that the preceding stage cannot substitute for.

    7Nights

    Foundation & Digestive Reset

    Establishes the assessment baseline. Doctor consultation, gut and metabolic screening, and an Agni and Ama assessment are followed by the core gut-support sequence — Dhanyamladhara, Abhyangam and Enema (Basti) — alongside the first gut-supportive nutrition session. Sufficient to interrupt existing patterns of bloating, irregularity and low energy, and to install the habits the guest will carry forward.

    14Nights

    Deep Gut Restoration

    Adds a mid-stay reassessment. A second wave of Ayurvedic and functional-fitness-led therapies aimed at deeper microbiome and metabolic activation, and a mid-stay doctor review (digestive symptoms, energy levels, bowel regularity). The additional week allows a measurable, doctor-verified change in gut function rather than a subjective impression of feeling lighter.

    21Nights

    Full Microbiome Reset & Integration

    Required for classical Ayurvedic sequences (extended Dhanyamladhara, SSPS and Virechana courses) to be delivered safely and completely, for weekly reassessment through the stay, and for the digestive and microbiome gains of the first two phases to consolidate into durable, gut-protective habits.

    OUR APPROACH

    How the Program Works, Medically, on the Gut

    Lasting gut restoration requires digestive fire to strengthen, the gut barrier to repair, the microbiome to rebalance, and the gut-brain axis to settle — nothing substitutes for that principle, and this programme does not claim otherwise. What differentiates the protocol is that this is supported and protected on five fronts simultaneously, so the reset reaches the gut directly rather than staying superficial.

    • Digestive clearance and Agni restoration. Dhanyamladhara, Udhwarthanam and Abhyangam calm and support digestive fire directly at the site of strain, because a congested digestive system rarely resolves through diet alone.
    • Gut-barrier and nutrient-absorption support. Ksheeradhara, SSPS and Enema (Basti) nourish the gut lining and clear accumulated toxins, functioning as active support that speeds digestive recovery between targeted sessions.
    • Nervous system down-regulation. Shirodhara, Takradhara, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra lower stress reactivity and support the digestive and motility function that a sensitised gut-brain axis otherwise suppresses.
    • Behaviour change and long-term adherence. Gut-supportive nutrition guidance, functional fitness for metabolic activation, and a structured take-home routine build the self-awareness and habit stability that determine whether gut gains are sustained after checkout — the single largest factor in long-term digestive health.

    Diagnostics run through every phase rather than sitting only at intake: doctor consultation, gut and microbiome markers, Agni evaluation and toxin-load scoring establish baseline and re-test through the stay, so the plan is adjusted against measured data rather than a subjective sense of feeling lighter. Any digestive diagnosis, recent gut-related tests or scans, and dietary history should be shared at consultation so the programme is safely personalised.

    The 5-Dimension Framework

    “Every therapy in the 7, 14 and 21-night protocols is organised below under the clinical or experiential dimension it primarily serves, so the logic of the programme — not just its treatment list — is visible at a glance. Diagnostics are marked accordingly within their dimension.”

    Note: Items above sit at different levels of scientific support, from well-established naturopathic, nutritional and lifestyle evidence to traditional Ayurvedic and experiential practice. Traditional and experiential items are offered as supportive and traditional, not as proven, stand-alone treatments for diagnosed digestive conditions.

    Measuring Your Regenerative Journey

    Transformation is personal. Progress should be understood.

    Your journey is guided by relevant assessments that help the team understand your starting point and review progress. Assessments are selected according to individual needs and clinical suitability.

    The Gut & Metabolic Scorecard may include:

    • 1
      Digestive fire (Agni) evaluation
    • 2
      Prakriti and dosha assessment
    • 3
      Toxin load (Ama) assessment
    • 4
      Gut microbiome / stool screening, where medically appropriate
    • 5
      Body composition and metabolic risk markers
    • 6
      Bowel movement and gut-health screening
    • 7
      Food sensitivity and nutrient-absorption screening, where medically appropriate
    • 8
      Stress score
    • 9
      Sleep quality assessment
    • 10
      Doctor consultation and digestive history review

    The Regenerative Wellbeing Framework

    Five Pathways. One Journey Towards Renewal.

    Each pathway addresses a vital dimension of wellbeing while working in harmony with the others. Relevant assessments and personalised interventions are integrated throughout the journey, allowing the experience to evolve with the individual and support meaningful progress.

    Doctor-led digestive assessment and personalised gut-health guidance.
    Clinician-selected therapies and nutrition support where appropriate.
    Movement and conditioning tailored to the individual.
    Restorative experiences selected for comfort and suitability.
    Practices supporting awareness, relaxation and the gut–brain connection.

    The Journey Within

    Every element has a purpose.
    Every experience connects.

    Regeneration happens when the right elements come together at the right time. From personalised insights and nourishment to movement, therapeutic care and moments of stillness, your experience is thoughtfully orchestrated around your body, your needs and your capacity for change.

    The aim is not to offer more treatments, but to create a more meaningful journey, one that supports lasting change in the way you feel, function and live.

    7, 14 and 21-night options allow different levels of time for appropriate support and integration.

    07

    Progress you can understand

    Relevant measures and reviews help the team understand the individual’s progress.

    08

    Designed to stay with you

    Expected Outcomes

    The goal is to support digestive comfort and sustainable gut-health habits.

    Individual responses vary. Outcomes depend on starting point, clinical suitability, duration and continued practice. The programme does not guarantee a particular result.

    • A clearer understanding of digestive patterns and individual wellbeing priorities
    • Personalised nutrition and daily-routine guidance
    • Supportive practices for more consistent meal, sleep and movement rhythms
    • Greater awareness of the relationship between stress and digestive wellbeing
    • A take-home plan to support continuity; persistent or concerning symptoms require medical assessment

    Begin With Understanding

    Your Regenerative Journey Begins With You.

    Start with a conversation with the Swastik wellbeing team to discuss your needs, goals and current state of wellbeing. Together, the team can help identify a suitable duration and pathway, subject to appropriate clinical assessment.

    Agni is the body’s digestive fire, its capacity to digest food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste. When agni is weak, toxins (ama) can accumulate.
    These are common reasons guests join. Targeted diet, gentle detoxification and stress reduction aim to calm and re-regulate digestion.
