Ayurveda
is the traditional health science of India. It is considered to
be the oldest branch of medicine in the whole world. Ayurveda
is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands
of years ago. We can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the
ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. In the Rig
Veda, over 60 preparations were mentioned that could
be used to assist an individual in overcoming various ailments.
The Rig Veda was written over
6,000 years ago, but really Ayurveda has been around even longer
than that, What we see is that Ayurveda is more than just a medical
system. It is the Science of Life. We are all part and parcel
of nature. Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with
nature and utilize the Laws of Nature to create health and balance
within their beings, we, too, adhere to these very same principles.
Therefore, it is fair to say that Ayurveda is a system that helps
maintain health in a person by using the inherent principles of
nature to bring the individual back into equilibrium with their
true self. In essence Ayurveda has been in existence since the
beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature's
laws.
Ayurveda is made up of two Sanskrit
words: 'Ayu' which means life and 'Veda' which means the knowledge
of. To know about life is Ayurveda. However, to fully comprehend
the vast scope of Ayurveda let us first define "Ayu"
or life. According to the ancient Ayurvedic scholar Charaka, "ayu"
is comprised of four essential parts. The combination of mind,
body, senses and the soul. |
| Panchakarma |
 |
Ayurvedic Pancha Karma therapy
is the most powerful way of addressing the root causes of disease.
Pancha Karma purifies both the digestive system and the mind.
Removing impurities from the body via the digestive system and
bringing balance to the mind is the art of Ayurvedic Pancha Karma.
Panchakarma literally means "five actions”. During
a typical panchakarma, the patient spends the full course of the
treatment away from the obligations and stresses of daily life
to allow for true rest and renewal. A daily routine of treatments,
including herbs, massage, purgation and various applications of
medicated oil is administered, in addition to a healing diet for
ultimate detoxification and rejuvenation. |

| Rejuvenation |
 |
The toxins / free radicals produced
by the constant metabolic activities in the body damage the body
cells resulting in wear and tear of the body, which is nothing
but aging. The process of aging is accelerated by improper life-style,
food habits and prolonged stress and strain.The programs that
are offered under this package are aimed at restoring the vigor
and vitality of the body by eliminating the toxins and by enhancing
the body's immunity through their anti - oxidant & prophylactic
properties. The package includes the various Rejuvenation therapies,
such as Kayaseka, Sirodhara, Abyanga, Synchronised Massage, Medicated
Steambath, Njavarakizhi, etc. |

| Slimming
Program |
 |
According to Ayurveda, continuous
indulgence in high fat food, fried items, etc., along with sedentary
life-style leads to excess accumulation of body fat which gets
deposited in the numerous body channels. Special programs are
included in this package with the purpose to cut down this excess
fat, to correct the irregular metabolism and to clear the body
channels. Deep dry massage with herbal powders and pastes, synchronized
massage with specific oils, steam bath, etc., mobilize the accumulated
fat, where as, specially designed diet programs prevent its further
accumulation. Practice of specific yoga postures is also advised
to reduce body weight. Along with these, appropriate Panchakarma
therapies are also advised by the physicians based on the requirements
of the individuals |

| Yoga
and Meditation |
 |
The term ‘Yoga’
has its roots in Sanskrit. It means ‘union’. Therefore,
yoga helps an individual to achieve the ultimate goal of human
life. In fact, all our activities are targeted towards the realization
of this supreme mission. Yoga is the spiritual path through which
one will have to tread to reach one’s destination. And,
to reach that goal, obviously one will have to dedicatedly follow
the road signs. Here, the three indicators are hygienic lifestyle,
ethical regulation and moral self-control. Their combined effect
is fascinating, to say the least! A person who has observed all
these regulations will also have sure control over his mind. That,
in turn, will reinforce his spiritual faculty. Once his mind and
spirit are in harmony, his physical body will also be within their
purview. |

| Beauty
Care |
 |
Ayurveda aims at bringing together in a harmonious
manner to promote physical, emotional and spiritual growth. In
Ayurveda, the beauty of the inner and outer self are given due
importance. The more we care for ourselves, the more our beauty
and radiance gets enhanced - regardless of our shape and contours.
Beauty, in the other fields, may emphasize on the way we look
and the qualities we possess. But Ayurveda delves deeper. Besides
the skin texture, hair type and body quality, Ayurveda lays accent
on the way we move and carry ourselves, the lifestyle we follow,
the freshness we emanate etc. Ayurveda does not see beauty as
a cosmetic affair. Ayurveda calls for self care and also development
of positive routines and rituals that will help bring out the
best in us. |

| Stress
Management |
 |
Modern age is the age of stress and strain.
The fast life is exciting as well as overtaxing. The holistic
approach of Ayurveda tackles these hazards in its own natural
way. It focuses on the impact of the mind on body, and vice versa.
Carefully planned programs such as special soothing massages,
Pizhichil, Sirodhara, etc., works at the physical level to soothe
the aching muscles and tensed nerves. At the same time, individually
selected yoga, meditation and Pranayama [breathing exercises]
programs calm down the Mind & bring back the natural rhythm
of the mind and body. |
