Ayurveda, which is also known as the “knowledge of life”, is one of the oldest health care systems. This ancient knowledge originated in India around 6000 years ago. It’s well recognized all the over the world today for its effectiveness in maintenance of general well being, longevity, and health overall.
Ayurvedic treatments are based on natural and holistic principles like the TRIDOSHA THEORY. This theory classifies the individual based on their constitution. According to the tridosha theory, there are three main doshas or humors: VATA, PITTA, and KAPHA.
So, according to the tridosha theory, Ayurvedic treatments thus tend to work on a very specific and individual basis, thereby making them a thoroughly “personalized experience”. This is why after taking ayurvedic treatments, it’s relatively common for the individual to feel lightness, energetic, creative and full of positivity. Overall, these treatments provide the ideal means to get rid of all the negative stress and promote desired energy in everyday activities.
All the Ayurvedic treatments are more effective when combined with the natural hot water baths available at the SPA.
