The former Chicago Blackhawks captain has given an update on the unorthodox treatment he received in what he described as his “healing journey.”

On Sunday morning, former Blackhawks forward Jonathan Toews shared an update on the situation on his Instagram account. “Panchakarma” treatment he is receiving in India in the form of a long message as well as several photos illustrating the treatment he is currently undergoing. While it certainly doesn’t sound like any type of treatment one would expect when it comes to Western medicine, Toews seems to be taking to the treatment well and has had nothing but positive words to share about his experience so far.

Here is Toews’ message, unedited and in its entirety:

Thank you everyone for the supportive comments and text messages I received. If you have experienced similar struggles, I hope this post gives you some hope and that you feel the need to look into it.

The 5 week Panchakarma at @ayurvedayogavilla was a chore, but it made me feel much lighter and revitalized. Beyond the detox cures, the most powerful aspect was being surrounded by extraordinary people who have a completely different culture and lifestyle. It became easy to see that I was burning the candle at both ends.

I now consider it a great blessing to have overcome these challenges. It’s crazy to feel this level of gratitude for the little things, but what seems even crazier is forgetting that this feeling should be normal. I feel like my body has returned to factory settings.

If you can’t travel to India at @ayurvedayogavilla there is a ton of information about Ayurveda and different Panchakarma treatments on their Insta and website. Even the smallest changes are steps in the right direction.
