How long should I stay at a Sri Lankan ayurveda retreat?

You should plan to stay at a Sri Lankan Ayurveda retreat for at least 7 to 14 days, so you can feel real changes in your wellbeing. The classic Ayurvedic therapies, including Panchakarma, really need proper time to help the body detoxify in a meaningful way, balance your doshas, and reach that deep relaxation that people talk about. A seven-day visit is good for common wellness, easing daily stress, and rejuvenation. However, if you are looking for more focused attention on a specific health matter like arthritis, long-term tiredness, or serious digestive problems, practitioners often advise a longer course of 21 to 28 days, because the lasting results tend to come from that extended period.
