Introduction
Ayurveda
(pronounced eye-yer-vay-duh) is the art of healthy living that enables you
to create harmony in daily life by applying self- knowledge and self-care.
The word, Ayurveda, is from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit, and
literally means "Knowledge of Life". Ayurveda names these basic
energies Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. In the Ayurvedic approach to life and
health, we recognize how these energies are at work at each moment in our
bodies and minds.
Ayurveda Tour Packages:
Abhyanga
A whole body massage with specific herbal oils to nourish and revitalize
the body tissues (Dhatus) and to allow the toxins to be removed from the
cells. Abhyanga has much deeper and more far reaching effects than an
ordinary massage using mineral oils and lotions. Abhyanga achieves deepest
healing effects by naturally harmonizing Body - Mind & Spirit. This
massage is performed symmetrically by two therapists for one hour and is
usually followed by a medicated steam bath (Sweda). It is one of the most
rejuvenating treatments of Ayurveda.
