What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a health system that has been successfully used for prevention and healing for over 5000 years that is native to the Indian subcontinent.
What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is a unique experience that leaves the mind and body feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Many illnesses result from the build-up of toxins in the body that can impair the functioning of its natural defenses, such as the lymph, circulatory, and immune systems. Panchakarma promotes healing and restoration by eliminating these toxins from the body. However, unlike other detoxification programs, panchakarma is a gentle process that achieves deep cleansing without discomfort, allowing the rejuvenating energies of the body to flow freely.
Panchakarma Treatments consists of:
1. Abhyanga
A wonderful Ayurveda therapy consisting of a full head and body massage administered by two technicians working in complete harmony and lasting for up to one hour. Aromatic herbal oils are lovingly applied to the body in a continuous flowing sequence. The depth and speed varies according to your Ayurveda body-type.
2. Vishesh
An invigorating Ayurveda sports-type massage, with firm, kneading actions to help promote the release of deep-seated imbalances, toxins and impurities. It is especially helpful for soothing sore, tired or aching muscles.
3. Udvartana
A massage using a course herbal paste to enliven and energise the body. It helps promote better digestion, healthier skin, firmer muscle tone, increased circulation and a breakdown of cellulite. It is strongly recommended for those wishing to loose weight .
4. Garshan
A unique Ayurveda therapy utilising raw silk gloves to massage the body. The friction and static electricity created refreshes and stimulates the skin, promoting better circulation and a breakdown of fatty deposits and cellulite.
5. Pizzichilli
The ultimate therapy for relaxing mind and body with a constant flow of warm oil slowly and gently applied to the body by two technicians working in complete harmony. This treatment mildly heats the skin and draws impurities to the surface leaving you feeling peaceful, calm and relaxed.
6. Shirodhara

A steady stream of warm, aromatic oil flows rhythmically across the forehead calming the mind and soothing the nervous system. It induces feelings of profound peace and happiness.

A herbal steam treatment allowing the body to perspire and release impurities from the skin. It is excellent for helping soothe painful, sore or aching muscles and joints and for improving the complexion.
