ayurveda

Ayurveda is said to have originated more than 4000 years ago and is believed to be the oldest health system known to man today. Rather than treating symptoms, it treats the whole person, working holistically to identify and redress imbalances at an emotional, physiological and spiritual level.

Massage is an important part of ayurvedic therapy. Ayurvedic massage works on marma (vital) points around the body, to open up and realign energy channels.

This releases any blockages, putting body and mind back in synergy with each other. Ayurveda also uses herbal remedies to combat ailments which are traditionally treated in the West with prescription medicine.
