AYURVEDA

PANCHAKARMA TREATMENT

The human body has the innate ability to isolate, process and discharge toxins and waste materials. However, reckless living caused by repeated dietary indiscretions, poor exercise patterns, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition, metabolic co-factors and hormones which regulate the body’s internal homeostasis, disrupts the body balance and leads to the accumulation and spread of toxins in the body, disorders and disease.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s primary purification, detoxification and rejuvenation program for the entire human body.

MASSAGE TREATMENTS

This is amazing for your skin and also takes away stress and revitalizes your body tissue and muscles.

GARSHANA

The Garshana massage involves no oil or herbal powders. It stimulates the body without the application of any lubricant.
