Ayurveda & Wellness Activities
Understanding Ayurveda
Ayurveda, which means “science of life” in Sanskrit, focuses on achieving balance within the body through natural methods. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit, and seeks to maintain health by preventing illness and promoting longevity. Ayurvedic treatments are personalized, taking into account an individual’s unique constitution (dosha) and imbalances.
The three primary doshas are:- Vata: Associated with air and space, governing movement and activity.
- Pitta: Linked to fire and water, governing digestion and metabolism.
- Kapha: Related to earth and water, governing structure and lubrication.
Abhyanga (Oil Massage)
Abhyanga is a full-body massage using warm herbal oils tailored to the individual’s dosha. This treatment helps to nourish the skin, improve circulation, detoxify the body, and promote relaxation.
Shirodhara (Head Oil Treatment)
Shirodhara involves pouring a continuous stream of warm herbal oil over the forehead, particularly targeting the ‘third eye’ area. This treatment is highly effective in alleviating mental stress, anxiety, insomnia, and migraines.
Panchakarma (Detoxification Therapy)
Panchakarma is a comprehensive detoxification program aimed at cleansing the body of toxins (ama) and restoring balance.
Swedana (Herbal Steam Bath)
Swedana involves exposing the body to herbal steam, which opens the pores, promotes sweating, and helps eliminate toxins. This treatment enhances circulation, relaxes the muscles, and improves skin tone.
Udwarthanam
Udwarthanam is a specialized massage using herbal powders instead of oils. The powders are vigorously rubbed onto the body, which helps to exfoliate the skin, reduce cellulite, and improve circulation.
Pinda Sweda
Pinda Sweda involves the use of warm herbal pouches filled with medicinal herbs and grains. These pouches are gently massaged onto the body, providing relief from pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
Mukha Abhyanga
Mukha Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic facial treatment that uses herbal oils, masks, and gentle massage techniques to cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin
