• "We arrested Sowore in the spirit of fair play"— Police PRO Hundeyin reveals.

    The Nigeria Police Force has explained the reason behind the arrest of human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, stating that he was detained for allegedly violating a court order banning the #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja.

    Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed on Thursday that Sowore was apprehended at the Federal High Court, Abuja, where he had reportedly led the protest calling for the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

    According to Hundeyin, 14 persons have so far been arrested in connection with the protest. He said Sowore’s name was mentioned by earlier detainees as the leader of the demonstration, prompting his arrest.

    “He was arrested in contravention of a court order. If we charge some protesters to court and leave the person who led them, that would be unfair. In the spirit of fair play and justice, Sowore was arrested today,” Hundeyin said.

    The police spokesman added that the activist would not be held for long and would be arraigned in court immediately, possibly within the same day.

    Sowore, who previously spearheaded the #RevolutionNow movement, was said to have fled the scene on Monday when other protesters were taken into custody.

  • The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its ongoing two-week warning strike, 10 days after it began.

    ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, announced the decision on Wednesday at a press conference in Abuja, directing members to resume work starting Thursday.

    According to Piwuna, the suspension followed “fruitful engagements” with government representatives during negotiations held last week. The decision was reached after an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union held in Abuja between October 21 and 22.

    However, he warned that the union would resume the strike if the government failed to meet its commitments within a month.

    “NEC resolved to grant the government a one-month window to conclude the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement and address all other outstanding issues,” Piwuna said.

    He added that ASUU expects the government to use the opportunity to ensure lasting industrial harmony and stability in the university system.

  • ASUU Suspends Warning Strike, Give FG Ultimatum.

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has suspended its two weeks warning strike, giving Nigeria’s Federal Government fours weeks ultimatum her demands.

    The two-week total and comprehensive warning strike was suspended, in a post published on its official X (former Twitter) account on Wednesday October 22, 2025, granting the Federal Government a one-month window to meet all outstanding demands on staff welfare, unpaid entitlements, university revitalization, and full implementation of the 2009 ASUU–FGN agreement.

    Meanwhile ASUU President Dr. Chris Piwuna, during a press conference in the nation’s capital of Abuja, said that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Union resolved to give the FG one month window to address all their demands as stated in the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.

    The President though stated that the gesture to suspend the strike was through the efforts of the Nigeria’s Senate who sued for a round table agreement.

  • UK Charity Commission Freezes Assets of MFM Ministries.

    The United Kingdom’s Charity Commission has frozen the assets of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries International (MFM), a church founded by Dr. Daniel Olukoya, following findings of financial mismanagement and governance lapses within its UK operations.

    In a detailed report released on Monday, POLITICS NIGERIA learned that the commission said the decision followed an official inquiry that uncovered “serious concerns” about how the church’s funds were being managed. The investigation revealed that MFM trustees failed to maintain proper oversight of over 100 bank accounts run independently by local branches across the country.

    According to the Commission, the charity’s rapid expansion from a few branches to over 90 nationwide was not matched by the necessary governance systems to ensure financial accountability.

    “Branches operated autonomously, opening and managing bank accounts without central authorisation or adequate monitoring,” the report said. “This created substantial risks to charitable funds and led to inaccurate and delayed financial reporting.”

    The inquiry also found that some branches had engaged in major financial transactions, including the purchase and leasing of properties, without the knowledge or approval of the main trustees. These irregularities, the Commission said, resulted in “financial losses that could not be fully accounted for.”

    As part of its enforcement action, the Commission ordered the immediate freezing of all MFM’s UK assets to prevent further mismanagement. “The Commission has acted decisively to protect the charity’s remaining assets while remedial steps are being implemented,” the statement added.

    This is not the first time the Charity Commission has intervened in MFM’s affairs. In 2019, the regulator appointed an interim manager to oversee the church’s financial administration after repeated failures to file annual reports and maintain proper accounting records.

  • Drama in Senate as Natasha Confronts Akpabio Over Abortion Debate, Oshiomhole Cites Rule to Stop Her.

    There was mild drama during Tuesday’s plenary session in the Nigerian Senate as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan confronted Senate President Godswill Akpabio after being denied the chance to speak on the issue of abortion.

    Senator Natasha, visibly displeased, pleaded to be heard, saying, “Mr. Senate President, please may I speak. I’m a woman, and abortion has to do with women it’s very important, sir.”

    The Senate President responded that the matter had already been stepped down, but he briefly allowed her to add a comment if necessary.
    “This has been stepped down in totality, distinguished senator, but if you have anything to add, you can say,” Akpabio stated.

    However, former Edo State governor and senator, Adams Oshiomhole, immediately objected, insisting that parliamentary rules must be respected.

    “Mr. President, we’ve been tutored over and over that when a matter has been concluded and you’ve dropped the gavel, if you grant an exception to distinguished Senator Natasha, then you must extend the same extension to us which makes our rule meaningless. The rule should be obeyed. We have said no discussion, and she should obey the rule,” Oshiomhole maintained.

    In his final ruling, Akpabio clarified that he did not initially know the nature of Natasha’s intended comment, saying,
    “I am not a spirit to know what the senator wants to say. If I knew, I would have referred her to Rule 52, Subsection 6. Since the Senate has come to a conclusion, it shall be out of order.”

    He then ruled Senator Natasha out of order, ending the exchange.

  • Court Remands Nnamdi Kanu’s Brother and Lead Counsel Over Abuja Protest.

    A Magistrate Court sitting in Kuje, Abuja, has ordered the remand of Prince Emmanuel Kanu the younger brother of detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu along with his lawyer, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor.

    The development was made public by Kanunta Kanu, another sibling of the IPOB leader, who alleged via a post on X that the move was part of a coordinated effort by the executive, legislative, and judicial arms of government to frustrate Nnamdi Kanu’s upcoming trial scheduled for Thursday.

    “The magistrate sitting in Kuje remanded Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case, and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, his youngest brother. This is a conspiracy from the executive, legislature, and judiciary to frustrate Kanu’s trial on Thursday,” Kanunta Kanu posted.

    It would be recalled that the Nigeria Police had earlier arraigned Ejimakor, Emmanuel Kanu, and ten others in connection with a protest held in Abuja on Monday.

    Court documents shared by the former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, revealed that the defendants were charged with inciting disturbance and breach of public peace.

    According to the charge sheet, they allegedly obstructed traffic flow, restricted citizens’ movement, and chanted war songs while demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

  • Strike: ASUU to hold strategic NEC meeting as action enters week two.

    The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities, ASUU, will meet today, Tuesday, to evaluate its position on the ongoing strike by its members.

    The development comes after ASUU disclosed that the Government’s Renegotiation Team, led by Alhaji Yayale Ahmed, came to the negotiation table with a documented response to the union’s demands and made some offers to it.

    In a strike bulletin issued on Monday, the union acknowledged that progress was being recorded in certain areas such as the release of third-party deductions, arrears of promotions, mainstreaming of Earned Academic Allowance, EAA, confiscation of University of Abuja land, and victimization of its members in KSU, LASU and FUTO.

    ASUU members on Monday held congresses across its branches in the various universities to vote on whether the union should suspend or continue its labour action.

    Recall that the union had given a 14-day ultimatum to the federal government for the conclusion and implementation of the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement, as well as addressing other demands of its members.

    However, there’s indication that ASUU wasn’t ready to throw in the towel yet as feelers are that many of the branches have voted in support of the continuation of the strike.

    Officials of ASUU at the University of Abuja, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. They confided in DAILY POST that the matter is far from being over.

    According to them, their members in respective branches were in support of the continuation of the strike despite some offers being made to ASUU by the Nigerian government.

  • NLC Threatens Nationwide Action if FG Fails to End ASUU Strike, Gives Deadline.

    The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to join forces with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) if the Federal Government fails to conclude negotiations with unions in the tertiary education sector.

    The decision was announced by the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, during an interactive session with labour correspondents in Abuja, following a meeting between the NLC and leaders of tertiary institutions’ unions held at the Congress headquarters.

    His statement, “We have decided to give the Federal Government four weeks to conclude all negotiations in this sector. They have started talks with ASUU, but the problems extend beyond ASUU,” Ajaero stated.

    “If after four weeks these negotiations are not concluded, the organs of the NEC will meet to decide on a nationwide action involving all workers and unions in the country, to ensure that lasting solutions are found.”

    The NLC also criticised the Federal Government’s no-work-no-pay policy imposed on members of ASUU for embarking on strike, describing it as unjust and provocative.

    “The so-called policy of no work, no pay will henceforth be no pay, no work. You cannot benefit from an action you instigated. We have discovered that most strike actions in this country — up to 90% — are caused by the government’s failure to honour agreements,” Ajaero added.

    Nigeria’s tertiary education system has been plagued by instability, with the ongoing ASUU strike leading to the closure of universities nationwide.

    ASUU National President, Professor Chris Piwuna, had announced the strike during a press briefing at the University of Abuja on Sunday, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the government on September 28. The union cited unresolved issues such as staff welfare, salary arrears, infrastructure decay, and the non-implementation of the 2009 ASUU-FGN agreement.

  • FG Reaffirms Maths, English as Mandatory O’Level Subjects Despite Admission Policy Review.

    The Federal Government has clarified that English Language and Mathematics remain compulsory for all students registering for their O’Level examinations, despite the recent adjustments to university and polytechnic admission requirements.

    In a statement on Sunday, the Federal Ministry of Education explained that the revised admission policy does not exempt any student from taking or registering for the two core subjects.

    According to the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, the clarification became necessary following widespread misinterpretations of the newly introduced O’Level admission framework.

    The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, said the reform was designed to promote flexibility, fairness, and inclusiveness in tertiary education admissions, ensuring that qualified candidates are not disqualified over deficiencies in subjects irrelevant to their chosen courses.

    “The streamlining ensures that deserving students are not denied access to higher education due to credit deficiencies in subjects not directly related to their fields of study,” Alausa stated.

    He emphasized that the reform aligns with global best practices, correcting previous imbalances by allowing institutions to consider candidates for certain programmes where a credit pass in Mathematics or English is not compulsory. However, all students must still register and sit for both subjects in their O’Level exams.

    The ministry noted that the policy only affects admission criteria for specific programmes, not the requirement to study or take the subjects.

    “All students must continue to take both subjects as part of their Senior School Certificate Examinations, as they remain vital components of a sound educational foundation,” the statement read.

    Earlier reports indicated that under the new policy, students in arts and humanities may be admitted into tertiary institutions without a credit in Mathematics, provided it is not a core requirement for their chosen field.

  • Nigerian, Margaret Obi, makes history as she becomes England’s most senior black judge.

    Her appointment, which officially took effect on October 3, 2025, was confirmed by several reputable British publications, including Global Legal Post. Mrs. Justice Obi is now one of only eight current High Court judges in England and Wales who previously practised as solicitors a rare feat in the British judiciary.

    She will serve in the King’s Bench Division, where she is expected to draw from her 27 years of legal practice and seven years of judicial experience to deliver justice with excellence and integrity.

    Congratulating her, Oba Nsugbe (KC), Head of Pump Court Chambers in the United Kingdom, praised Obi’s humility and commitment to her heritage. “For as long as I have known her, Mrs Justice Obi has always been naturally low-key and entirely grounded; never once forgetting her Nigerian roots,” Nsugbe said.

    Before her elevation, Justice Obi served in several senior judicial capacities, including as a Deputy High Court Judge, Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge, and Chair of the Competition Appeal Tribunal. She also made history in 2023 when she was appointed Acting Judge of the Supreme Court of the British Indian Ocean Territory, further cementing her reputation as a respected and versatile jurist.

    Her appointment has been widely celebrated within legal circles in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria, with many describing it as another testament to the excellence and global impact of Nigerian professionals abroad.

    Justice Obi’s rise to one of the most prestigious judicial positions in the UK underscores her decades-long dedication to the legal profession and her enduring connection to her Nigerian background.

  • Forgery Allegation Deepens PDP Crisis Ahead Of November Convention.

    The internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a fresh twist after the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Inspector General of Police over an alleged forgery of his signature.

    In petitions dated October 15 and submitted on October 16, Anyanwu denied signing the August 29 letter sent to INEC concerning the party’s planned November 15–16 National Convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.

    In his letter titled “RE: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Year 2025 Elective National Convention: Petition Against Forgery and Cloning of My Signature”, Anyanwu insisted that the correspondence purportedly bearing his signature was neither signed nor authorised by him.

    He urged the DSS and the police to immediately investigate what he described as a case of forgery capable of undermining the party’s integrity ahead of its convention.

    The controversy comes amid a pending suit filed by aggrieved party chieftains seeking to halt the exercise. In suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/2120/25, PDP chairmen from Imo and Abia states, Austin Nwachukwu and Amah Abraham Nnanna, alongside the South-South Zonal Secretary, Turnah Alabah George, accused the Damagum-led National Working Committee of breaching the party’s constitution and internal election rules.

    Defendants in the case include INEC, the PDP, Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, and other senior officials.

    At Tuesday’s sitting, the court adjourned proceedings to October 20, after a dispute erupted over who was authorised to represent the PDP in court.

    Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN) and Chris Uche (SAN) both claimed the mandate, prompting Justice James Omotosho to order them to present proof of authorisation. He directed all parties to exchange documents by October 17.

  • Court dismisses CBN, AGF objection in Osun local government funds suit.

    Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the objection raised by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Accountant-General of the Federation, AGF, against a suit challenging the Osun local government’s withheld funds.

    The suit, filed by the Attorney-General, AG, of Osun State, Oluwole Jimi-Bada, SAN, seeks to stop the Federal Government from releasing withheld local government allocations to sacked officials elected during former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s tenure.

    Justice Nwite, in a ruling, held that the Osun Attorney-General has locus standi (legal right) to institute the suit on behalf of the local government authorities.

    In the ruling, the judge dismissed the request brought by the CBN and AGF praying for the dismissal of the case on the ground that the Osun Attorney-General lacked locus standi to sue on behalf of the local governments.

    He held that the plaintiff, as the chief law officer of the state, had the duty and authority to act in the public interest, including protecting local government allocations.

    The judge further held that the ongoing suit challenging local government allocations “does not constitute an abuse of court process.”

    He observed that while parallel proceedings “may lead to unnecessary and duplicative objectives and judicial resources,” there was no evidence that the plaintiff had “misused, perverted, or abused the expression of justice.”

    He emphasized that the plaintiff did not act in “a biased or deliberate manner in seeking the present action.”

  • “Let’s Do It!” — Paris Jackson Excitedly Accepts Britney Spears’ Birthday Coffee Invitation

    Pop icon Britney Spears is reaching out to the daughter of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and fans are loving every bit of it!

    Taking to Instagram on October 16, 2025, the “Toxic” singer revealed her birthday wish — to have “coffee, lunch, or dinner” with Paris Jackson, 27. Spears also mentioned Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer, saying she’d rather spend quality time with these “cool and beautiful people” than fly anywhere for her special day.

    “It is important to look up to people and still believe in humanity,” Britney wrote in her heartfelt post, expressing admiration and warmth toward the two women.


    Not long after, Paris Jackson — singer, model, and actress — responded with enthusiasm via her Instagram Story, posting a smiling selfie and writing:

    “Ok my Sag queen, @britneyspears, let’s do it ,”
    referring to Britney’s Sagittarius zodiac sign.


    The sweet exchange quickly melted fans’ hearts, especially since Paris had publicly supported Britney during her conservatorship battle years ago. In a 2021 interview with Access Hollywood, Paris praised Britney, saying:

    “I am proud of any strong woman who is willing to speak her truth and do what is right for her health.”

    It’s not the first connection between the Spears and Jackson families — fans fondly remember Britney’s iconic 2001 performance with Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden, a moment still celebrated in pop history.

    Now, over two decades later, it seems their legacies are crossing paths again — this time, over coffee and kindness.

  • Lagos Govt Explains Why Sarah Martins Was Arrested While Cooking On the Road for Charity.

    The Lagos State Government has reacted to confrontation between Nollywood actress Sarah Martins and officers of the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI).

    The actress had alleged she was harassed and assaulted during a recent encounter in Lagos.

    Recall that Martins had earlier taken to her Instagram page to claim that the officers assaulted her while she was cooking outdoors as part of a community outreach exercise.

    Responding to the claims in a statement on Friday, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, defended the actions of the KAI operatives, stating that the actress’s activity violated state environmental regulations.

    Wahab explained that while the government appreciates citizens who engage in charitable and community-support initiatives, such activities must comply with Lagos State’s environmental and sanitation laws.

    “The individual in question claimed to be conducting charitable cooking activities on the road median, which unfortunately contravened existing environmental and sanitation regulations,

    “The Lagos State Government deeply appreciates the spirit of philanthropy and community support demonstrated by many residents, but such initiatives must be carried out in compliance with the state’s extant laws to ensure public safety, environmental protection, and urban order.” Wahab said in a statement.

    The commissioner added that the enforcement was necessary to prevent potential safety hazards and traffic disruptions, urging residents to obtain proper authorization before carrying out similar public activities.

  • New INEC Chairman Vows to Make Elections So Credible Even Losers Will Congratulate Winners.

    Newly confirmed INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, has pledged to deliver elections so transparent and credible that even losing candidates will willingly congratulate the winners.

    Speaking during his Senate screening and confirmation on Thursday, Amupitan said his mission is to rebuild public trust in the electoral process through collaboration with key institutions like the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

    “Our goal is to make elections so credible that even the loser will congratulate the winner in good faith, just as both sides accept a fair court judgment,” he told lawmakers.

    The Senate unanimously approved his appointment after a three-hour screening session. Senate President Godswill Akpabio charged him to ensure that every vote counts, noting that his confirmation marks a new chapter after Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s 10-year tenure.

    Amupitan promised to audit INEC’s Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and Result Viewing Portal (IReV) to correct the glitches that eroded confidence in the 2023 elections. He also vowed to strengthen accountability within the commission through an Ethics and Compliance Committee and a whistleblower policy.

    He further said INEC will work with security agencies and invest in technology, including drones, to safeguard election materials and logistics.

    “This is a sacred trust,” Amupitan said. “We will make our elections so credible that even those who lose will admit it was fair and just.”

  • Ayurvedic Detoxification Techniques: The Science of Panchakarma
    In today’s fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook what our body tries to tell us. Fatigue, digestive issues, bloating, poor sleep, brain fog, and low immunity—these are often signs that the body is overloaded with toxins. Ayurveda, India’s ancient healing system, believes that health begins with cleansing the body and mind from accumulated impurities, also known as Ama. One of the most powerful detoxification methods in Ayurveda is Panchakarma—a structured therapeutic process that restores balance, removes toxins, and rejuvenates the body from the cellular level.
    Understanding Toxins in Ayurveda
    Before diving into Panchakarma, it's important to understand Ama, the Ayurvedic concept of toxins. Ama forms when our Agni (digestive fire) becomes weak due to irregular eating, unhealthy food choices, lack of sleep, stress, or exposure to chemicals. Over time, these toxins clog body channels (srotas), disrupt dosha balance, and give rise to illness. Ayurvedic detoxification is not just about weight loss or cleansing the stomach—it is about purifying the entire body system and restoring harmony.
    Learn More https://www.naditarangini.com/ayurvedic-detoxification-techniques-the-science-of-panchakarma/

    What Is Panchakarma?
    The term Panchakarma translates to “five actions” or “five therapies”. These therapies are designed to eliminate deep-seated toxins from the tissues and expel them from the body in a controlled, scientific way. Panchakarma is unique because it doesn’t just detox the gut—it addresses toxins in every tissue layer, bringing equilibrium to Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas.
    Three Phases of Panchakarma Detox
    Panchakarma is not a single treatment—it’s a carefully planned healing journey that happens in three phases:
    1. Purva Karma (Preparation Phase)
    This step prepares the body to release toxins.
    Snehana (Internal and External Oleation): Herbal oils or ghee are used to loosen toxins stored in tissues.


    Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Steam and herbs help liquefy toxins and move them toward the digestive tract for elimination.


    2. Pradhana Karma (Main Detox Procedures)
    This phase includes the five core cleansing techniques:
    Technique
    Procedure
    Target
    Vamana
    Therapeutic emesis
    Removes excess Kapha and mucus from chest/stomach
    Virechana
    Controlled purgation
    Cleanses liver and intestines, reduces Pitta
    Basti
    Medicated enemas
    Balances Vata and nourishes colon
    Nasya
    Herbal drops in nostrils
    Clears head, sinuses, improves mental clarity
    Rakta Mokshana
    Blood cleansing
    Removes toxins from blood, improves immunity

    3. Paschat Karma (Rejuvenation Phase)
    After detox, the body needs nourishment and stability. This includes:
    Diet correction (Pathya): Light, healing foods to rebuild digestion


    Rasayana (Rejuvenative herbs): Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Amla for strength and vitality


    Lifestyle guidance: Daily routines to maintain detox benefits


    Benefits of Panchakarma
    Panchakarma offers a complete reset for body and mind. Some proven benefits include:
    Improves digestion and metabolism
    Enhances nutrient absorption
    Boosts immunity and vitality
    Supports hormonal balance
    Reduces chronic fatigue and stress
    Relieves joint and muscle stiffness
    Clears skin and improves glow
    Promotes mental clarity and emotional balance
    Addresses chronic conditions like arthritis, sinusitis, IBS, and migraines
    Panchakarma Is Personalized Medicine
    One of the biggest strengths of Panchakarma is that it is highly personalized. Unlike generic detox programs, Ayurvedic detox is planned after analyzing:
    Your dominant Dosha


    Prakriti (body constitution)


    Health condition


    Age and strength


    Season and lifestyle


    That’s why Panchakarma must be done under trained Ayurvedic supervision. Self-detox without guidance may disturb dosha balance rather than help it.
    Simple Daily Detox According to Ayurveda
    If full Panchakarma therapy is not feasible, you can incorporate small Ayurvedic detox habits daily:
    Begin mornings with warm water and lemon or ginger


    Include Triphala at night for gentle colon cleansing


    Use turmeric and cumin in cooking for natural detox


    Eat fresh, cooked meals instead of packaged or reheated food


    Avoid overeating and late-night meals


    Practice oil pulling to detox the mouth


    Take 10–15 minutes of self-abhyanga (oil massage) weekly


    Practice pranayama or meditation to detox the mind


    Final Thought
    The beauty of Panchakarma lies not only in cleansing the body but also in rejuvenating the spirit. It teaches that detoxification is not just about fasting or flushing—it’s about restoring balance, enhancing energy, and reconnecting with natural health. As lifestyle diseases keep rising, this ancient detox science offers a soothing yet powerful path to holistic wellbeing.
    If done with discipline and the right guidance, Panchakarma can transform your health from the inside out—naturally and sustainably.
