It is beginning to cool down and even snow in the mountains, and we are steadily getting into real winter. Winter is the season when we thrive on warm food and drinks, root vegetables, prepared with healthy oils (such as ghee or olive oil), soups and broths. Everything that these things give us helps our body and mind quietly flourish through the winter months. You can try our simple kichari to stay warm and healthy.
After winter comes spring. How simple and wise nature is! Spring is the best time of the year (together with the autumn) for purification, detoxification and cleansing. This spring I am very happy to have the opportunity to share with you Panchakarma, the ancient detoxification system of India, which is one of the most powerful aspects of Ayurveda. Purification by Panchakarma has been the main focus of my work over the years. I have twice returned to India to further my studies and gain greater depth of understanding in this remarkable system of cleansing. I developed my first clinic in California, where I guided my patients through this gentle, yet very effective detoxification process.
I have discovered a very special place to hold these detoxification retreats, or perhaps it discovered me. This treasure, located in the beautiful Czech mountains of Krkonoše, is the lovely guesthouse, U Kotle. It is perfectly suited for relaxation, detoxification, and rejuvenation. Our spot is located about 1 km from Horní Mísečky up in the hills and away from civilization. The main building has two cozy fireplaces, a dining room lit by large windows overlooking the valley and beautiful, old-world appeal. There is a charming atmosphere as soon as you enter the house and it seems the weight of everyday life falls off your shoulders as soon as you enter it . . . Every morning we start with relaxing Ayurvedic yoga, followed by pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. Then we enjoy a light breakfast, a short walk and a full-body oil massage. At noon we will have a healthy, easily digestible lunch, another short walk and shirodhara. In the evening, we’ll share our dinner meal together. The dinner is prepared in such a way to assure you a deep and relaxing sleep. Each day will end with a brief talk about Ayurveda and how, even after returning from your stay, you can apply this ancient wisdom in your modern everyday life.

"I only use top of the line products and I have never seen a product like this. It absorbs easily into the skin and allows me to touch the skin more closely than when I work with other products." -Shelly, Esthetician, New Mexico
"After only two weeks of daily use, my skin is glowing again and my rosacea is 80% gone. Thank you, Barbora!" -Rachel, San Francisco
"I got your 100x washed ghee from my son Patrick. I was really impressed with the results. I haven’t had anything this fantastic on my face before! I have a daughter who also suffers from eczema and I cannot wait for her to also try it. Really amazing product."- Regina Š., Czech Republic
"I use the 100x washed ghee as a moisturizer and on tiny eczema patches I get once in a while. I also give it to my mother who uses it on her psoriasis. She calls it 'liquid gold.'" -Mary K., Massachusetts
