Ayurveda Treatments
Ayurveda is a holistic health system that originated in India over 5000 years ago. Ayurveda means "science of life" ("Ayu" meaning life and "Veda" meaning science), and was first recorded in the Vedas the world's oldest surviving literature.
Although Ayurveda has been used to help alleviate various conditions; aiming to treat the root cause of disease rather than the symptoms, it is founded on the principle of preventing disorders in the long term rather than waiting for problems to manifest themselves. Therefore it is a great way for healthy individuals to maintain good health and general well being.
A specific consultation is carried out to determine the client's body and personality type, known as their dosha. The aim of Ayurveda is to bring the client's dosha as nearly as possible into balance. ‘Marma' or energy points on the back relate to different organs and systems of the body. Therefore by working these points, the client's whole body is left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
This treatment is specifically tailored to each client depending on their dosha and as a result, specialist Ayurvedic oils and massage techniques are selected to suit the client's own, individual constitution.
The doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha
•Vata Dosha is the principle of movement in all living organisms and is a combination of the elements: air and space. Vata Dosha is closely related to the nervous system.
•Pitta Dosha is the principle of transformation in all living organisms and is a combination of the elements fire and water. Pitta Dosha is closely related to the digestive system, metabolism, enzymes and glands in the body.
•Kapha Dosha is the principle of stability and maintenance in any living organism and is a combination of the elements water and earth. Kapha Dosha is closely related to the lymphatic and immune system in the body and is responsible for the growth of the individual.
